Your SD3 results are more than a set of scores—they’re signals from your social strategy system, revealing how you tend to pursue goals, protect yourself, and navigate power dynamics. Numbers can’t capture the full depth of who you are, but they do illuminate the patterns of influence, self-interest, and empathy modulation that shape how you engage with work, relationships, and responsibility.

A higher or lower score isn’t a verdict—it’s information. It points to where strategic thinking may tip into manipulation, where healthy self-regard can slide toward entitlement, or where emotional detachment may become overused as protection. These patterns are not moral flaws; they are adaptive responses learned in competitive, uncertain, or high-stakes environments.

Viewed together, your results reveal the logic of your impact—how you calculate advantage, manage image, set (or test) boundaries, and respond when trust feels risky. They offer a clear, candid lens for understanding not just your tendencies, but your capacity to recalibrate toward integrity, reciprocity, and sustainable influence.
