Well, now you've worked out which is your predominant group, and you may have something of a surprise - many do!

Since you will have something of each group in your personality make-up, it's worth reading all of them; you can then use visualisation, self-hypnosis, or whatever will work for you to strengthen whatever traits you wish to strengthen.

We'll start with a look at the ancient Warriors.

The Ancient Warrior

Obviously the Warrior tribes would have been physically powerful, but there was more to these people than brute force. The best amongst them became expert planners who prepared for every possibility, quick and perceptive thinkers who could foresee every pitfall and every danger to their plans and schemes. Their need to control and conquer others meant that they had little or no time for compassion or emotion; there was no room for compassion if you wanted to come out tops on the battlefield. In fact they would have been capable of being totally ruthless, completely unconcerned about the feelings of others. Self was what mattered, and what self wanted.

Sensitivity was not in the frame for these people, nor were any 'airy fairy' ideas; no-nonsense practicalities were what they needed - tools, plans, method, fool-proof strategy. A means to an end and as quick and forthright as possible. In the earliest days, they were true savages - but they were savages with a shrewd intelligence, who could be devious and manipulative when necessary.

Of course, the modern Warrior does not usually make his/her living by going around killing people and fighting battles and wars... or does s/he? Maybe not killing people in the physical sense but perhaps doing so metaphorically in the business world. Ever hear that expression 'Making a killing' applied to business? And there is also much devious behaviour in the business world, as well as tussles for control in all sorts of other situations besides, including the home.

The modern Warrior certainly shares one particular aspect of behaviour with his/her ancestors, an aspect which has hardly changed at all over the centuries. Their major Ancestral memory is the need to be in control and they always possess the modern skills and traits associated with that drive - ready aggression, the ability and desire to manipulate others when necessary, a speed of thought which is second to none, and the desire to take charge.

At a high level s/he may well be a General in an army, perhaps a 'captain of industry', or a senior police officer; at the other end of the scale, where inner resources may not be recognised or used properly, we find traffic-wardens, inspectors or various sorts, and security guards. Individuals from the other groups may do those jobs, too, of course, but the warrior type excels at them.

Don't be misled into the belief that this is necessarily an unpleasant group of people; they are often not, any more so than individuals in the other groups might be, because the more extreme of their warrior characteristics have been 'watered down' by the influence of the other groups. It is true, though, that their direct manner can sometimes be intimidating and they are not usually thought of as 'nice' people - but they are usually unconcerned about the opinions of others, anyway.
