Warrior Talent belongs to the POWER Character Component, along with its counterpart, Diplomat.

From all 10 Talents, there is none more capable of exercising command and authority than the Warrior.

The Warriors are courageous, may take a very authoritarian stance, and, in certain situations, can be somewhat intimidating. They are resilient and will rarely back down from the fight.

They are known for their ability to pick themselves up after setbacks, rally, and inspire everyone around to have another go.

Bold, brave, and charismatic, they are setting trends, not following them.

Warriors are highly ambitious and enthusiastic about what they do and care about, and they rarely give up on their goals, no matter how hard or impossible they seem.

They are what they are because of the people around them who inspire and command; without people to inspire and command, there is little purpose left for them. Therefore, Warriors are typically comfortable around people, especially in groups, where they know how to excel using their charisma and commanding skills.

Still, when Warrior Talent is excessive and detrimental, it can make them overly demanding and pushy. People might stay away from them because they tend to be forceful. They may also react too quickly and too harshly, overriding any analysis or reasoning. When this Talent is in a negative state, they can be very moody, suspicious, and even paranoid.

Below are a few key character traits and professions that are related to the Warrior Talent, accompanied by real-life examples from famous people, so that you can get a better idea of its unique characteristics.

It’s hard to imagine an influential, successful leader with worldwide charisma without having a high-performing Warrior Talent in their charts.

Barack Obama, David Cameron, George Bush, Hillary Clinton, John F. Kennedy, Margaret Thatcher, Vladimir Putin, Winston Churchill, to name a few, but the list of world leaders with a Warrior profile is extensive.

For politicians, Warrior Talent is essential because it carries two main traits for successful leadership: charisma and authority.

It also gives them a certain level of aggression, which is necessary to implement new policies and protect the integrity of the country and its citizens.

The Warrior Talent is extremely useful in the entertainment business because it provides charisma and a strong influence, enabling them to rally masses.

A few good examples are Beyonce, Nina Simone, and Oprah Winfrey, all three being hugely influential and, what is also important, having firm opinions on particular political and social matters, whether it’s racial or women’s rights issues, and being ready to fight for them. These character traits are very typical for Warriors.

Warriors genuinely care about people, and if they see injustice, they are prepared to rally the people and go into the fight, shoulder to shoulder, use any means they have, which in their case is media and a large fan base.

In general, all Warriors are political by nature. Even if they are not politicians by profession, they will get involved in daily politics, locally or globally, or at least make sure to stay informed so they can form an opinion on issues that matter to them.

Due to their ambitious nature, Warriors are often uncomfortable to be around. They have a constant need to act and motivate those around them. Usually, on their own, they cannot do much because their power comes from influencing and inspiring other people.

But when their Warrior Talent is excessive and out of balance, this dynamic can turn into a very unpleasant force. They might become paranoid and start seeing enemies on every corner. They might also be heartbroken about the pace of progress and begin to use more forceful tactics to get things moving.

WARRIORS ARE MOTIVATED BY:

• The ability to achieve stability
• Being able to test the loyalty of others
• The ability to have certainty and reassurance

DEMOTIVATED BY:

• Feeling or being abandoned
• Working with aggressive, stubborn people
• Having uncertainty in their lives

Please note that every Talent has good, bad, and ugly characteristics. It’s unlikely that a person will react ONLY with positive or ONLY with negative traits. The balance between these two depends heavily on a person’s overall emotional stability.
