Because "leadership style" assessments are exhausting. Most career advice tells you to be well-rounded. Fix your gaps. Smooth your edges. But the research says the opposite: your fastest path to impact is leaning into what you're already doing well. Also, "well-rounded" is just another word for "beige."
These aren't types. They're tendencies. Everyone contains more than one creature. (You're complex! That's good!) The goal is to notice which one shows up most when things get interesting, and maybe feel a little less weird about it.
Context matters a lot. The same person might be a Tangle Gremlin at a startup and a Horizon Otter at a bigger company. These results are a starting point for reflection, not a diagnosis. Your therapist can handle the diagnosis.
If you finish this and think "oh no... that's me," congratulations. It's working.
