You're a Kindred Spirit!

feelings oriented / attentive / caring / thoughtful / selfless

You base your decisions on intuition, resulting in the ability to think quickly and fluidly. You are introverted, drawing energy from your internal experiences while finding group situations draining. You have a strong desire to assist those who need help and you want others to do the same.

Your Secondary Style is Go-Getter. Your Go-Getter indicates that you’re solidly intuitive. It also indicates that you’ve got the courage and some group social skills that are challenging to Kindred Spirit/Mission Controllers.

What fellow Kindred Spirits have to say

"I am the opposite of the stereotypical fund raiser - the party animal with an overpowering personality.  One line in the description of a Kindred Spirit, in particular, 'Your power as a solicitor comes from your ability to listen and intuit the responses of the people you are soliciting.' is right on target.  It is uncanny that a series of true/false questions can zero in on my style so accurately.”

"It wasn’t until I learned about the Asking Styles and that I was a Kindred Spirit that I understood I don’t have to be everything to be great at my job and make an impact. I’ve come to embrace my Kindred Spirit fabulousness, forgive my need for cheat sheets and one-pagers, and partner with colleagues and volunteers who complement my style. This has led to much less stress which means I’m more present, confident, and authentic with donors and prospects – something that means very much to me and leads to greater fundraising success for the organization.”
