Understanding the Magistrate
You seek clarity and fairness in everything you encounter. You have a natural skill for stepping back from emotional noise and looking at a situation from an objective point of view. When conflicts arise, you compare perspectives and try to find a balanced solution. You often become the unofficial mediator in your groups. You feel grounded when your decisions reflect both logic and ethical consistency.
Dominant Driver
Blue is the drive toward understanding and mastery. It shows up in people who naturally ask questions, compare options, and try to improve the systems around them. This is the friend with too many tabs open, the person who reads the manual, or the one who quietly optimizes a process after everyone else has stopped thinking about it. At its hardest moments, Blue can get stuck in analysis, delay decisions until they feel ‘perfect’, or retreat into the safety of ideas when emotions or chaos feel overwhelming.
Auxiliary Driver
White is the drive toward principled coherence and fair structure. It shows up in people who naturally organize plans, clarify expectations, and try to make sure everyone is treated consistently. At its best, White creates spaces where others feel safe, respected, and able to rely on shared agreements—whether that’s a project, a household, or a friend group. At its hardest moments, this drive can turn into anxiety about disorder, over-responsibility for other people’s behavior, or resentment when others ignore the rules you’re trying to uphold.
Lacking Driver
When you lack Red, life starts to feel muted and overly careful. You swallow strong feelings or postpone them, and you make choices mostly to avoid conflict or trouble. Days blur into routines that are ‘fine’ but rarely exciting, relationships stay polite rather than alive, and big desires are often shelved until the moment to act has already passed.
Lacking Driver
When you lack Green, relationships feel thin, transactional, or unstable, as if everyone is mostly on their own. Change gets pushed hard without much regard for people’s limits, leading to burnout or quiet resentment. There’s little sense of being rooted anywhere—communities come and go quickly, and it’s hard to feel held by a network of support rather than just surviving as an isolated unit.
Strengths & Weaknesses

- Holds fairness and logic together, making decisions that people respect even when they disagree
- Natural mediator: you can hear three conflicting stories and find the thread that connects them
- Stays composed in emotional storms, providing clarity when everyone else is reactive
- Can come across as cold or clinical when people need warmth, not analysis
- Focuses on the abstract principle and misses the human pain underneath the conflict
- Hesitates to commit to a position until you're certain—sometimes too long
- Assumes a well-reasoned argument should speak for itself, then wonders why no one was persuaded
