TALENT BRIDGE: SOCIAL INFLUENCE
COMPONENTS: POWER & BODY (PARALLEL)
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
Key strengths: Influential, authoritative & confident

The BODY (Parallel) Component represents people around us, our social circle, while POWER Component represents authority figures, government, etc. People with this Talent Bridge strong are often involved in social activism because they feel connected with the people around them. They usually have a tendency to join and lead people against those in power, and it’s usually triggered by some kind of social injustice. Usually, they have strong political opinions and simply can’t stay on the sidelines. If they are not involved in politics, they might be active in humanitarian activities and work for the public good.

WHEN BRIDGE IS IN OPTIMAL BALANCE

CONDITIONS: Both sides are solid (High efficiency)

When POWER and BODY Components are strong enough, and in optimal balance, a person might have these qualities/interests:

  • Altruistic
  • Social/humanitarian work
  • Team leadership
  • Working as a law enforcer
  • Crisis management
  • Political activism
FAMOUS PEOPLE WITH THIS SETUP

Individuals with this Talent Bridge are naturally authoritative. Jack Nicholson and Kevin Costner are known for their charismatic and authoritative roles, Barack Obama showed these traits clearly during his presidency, while Mark Zuckerberg is the CEO of Facebook, one of the biggest tech company in the world.

WHEN POWER IS SIGNIFICANTLY STRONGER THAN BODY

CONDITIONS: POWER is much stronger than BODY (Low efficiency)

If the POWER Component is significantly stronger than the BODY Component, a person might suffer from self-depreciation and lack of confidence. They might not have a healthy relationship with authorities and be unable to stand up for themselves in critical moments.

REMEDY: If this is the case, the situation can be remedied if a person has a solid INTELLECT Component, which can exhaust excessive POWER and support BODY. Also, if the OUTPUT Component is present and strong, it can help the BODY to counteract the overwhelming POWER.

If one or both of these remedy Components are present then it’s quite likely that negative traits caused by this Bridge disbalance will be neutralized by shifting focus on another Talent Bridge.

WHEN POWER IS SIGNIFICANTLY WEAKER THAN BODY

CONDITIONS: POWER is much weaker than BODY (Low efficiency)

If the POWER Component is significantly weaker than the BODY Component, a person might not be very suitable to work for somebody else and have bosses. If they do work in large corporations, they should have more personal space and creative freedom while their superiors shouldn’t try to boss them too much. Usually, bosses will feel inferior around them. Negative connotations of this type of bridge are strong ego and selfishness.

REMEDY: If this is the case, the situation can be remedied if a person has a solid WEALTH Component, which can exhaust excessive BODY and support POWER.

If the remedy Component is present and strong then it’s quite likely that negative traits caused by this Bridge disbalance will be neutralized by shifting focus on another Talent Bridge.

WHEN BOTH COMPONENTS ARE EXCESSIVE

CONDITIONS: Both Components are very strong (High intensity)

If both Components are excessive, they tend to dominate the entire chart and in most cases neutralize all other Components and possible Talent Bridges, which is not a preferable dynamic. Negative clashes between those two Components are most likely to happen. The person might be good at certain tasks, related to these two Components, but at the same time terrible at tasks related to other Components.

REMEDY: OUTPUT is the only Component which is able to reduce excessive POWER and BODY at the same time. Will most likely bring a positive impact, so it should be at least present, regardless of the strength, due to its favorable impact in this particular case.

WHEN BOTH COMPONENTS ARE WEAK

CONDITIONS: Both Components are weak (Low intensity)

If both Components are weak then this Talent Bridge will not be very active unless it gets stimulated through Dynamic Chart, but even then the quality will be questionable.

REMEDY: In such case, it’s quite difficult to remedy the situation due to the overall quality of the Bridge which is most likely beyond repair. The person should focus more on other Bridges.
