The Visionary
I hold a vision even when the world resists.
You imagine a better world and feel its absence.
You carry a picture of how things could be, and you keep enough order to start sketching it out loud. When the world declines to follow, you feel it in a way that lingers.
Visionary · Tender · Wounded
The five together
Warm, imaginative and sensitive, you hold a vision of how things could be, keep enough order to sketch it, and are wounded when the world declines to follow.
The Visionary's result is high on Agreeableness and Openness, low on Emotional Stability and in the middle on Extraversion and Conscientiousness. Each band is wide on purpose: a score near a boundary can fall either side on a retake, and the portrait describes the pattern, not a precise point.
About 4 in 1,000 people
0.44% of a reference sample of 596,850 adults share this combination. The Visionary is an uncommon combination.
Bands are relative to a general adult reference sample. Honesty-Humility is measured in your Snapshot and appears in your report; it is not part of the portrait.
What The Visionary might recognize
- You describe a better version of things so vividly that people want to help build it.
- You take it personally when people do not share the vision you have worked to explain.
A question worth keeping
Can the vision still matter to you even on the days the world refuses to catch up?

The traits behind The Visionary
A portrait is a pattern across five measured dimensions. Every trait is reported as a percentile against the reference sample; the three bands and the portrait name exist to make the result easier to talk about, and the percentile is always shown alongside. Each dimension has its own page explaining what it means, what the research says it predicts, and how it can change.
- Balanced band, 30th to 70th percentileWhat is Extraversion?
How much you enjoy being around people, talking, and doing lively things, and how much energy that gives you.
- High band, above the 70th percentileWhat is Agreeableness?
How kind, trusting, and cooperative you tend to be with other people, and how much you put getting along ahead of getting your way.
- Balanced band, 30th to 70th percentileWhat is Conscientiousness?
How organised, careful, and reliable you are about getting things done and keeping your promises.
- Quiet band, below the 30th percentileWhat is Emotional Stability?
How calm and even you usually feel, and how quickly you bounce back when something upsets you.
- High band, above the 70th percentileWhat is Openness?
How much you enjoy new ideas, art, imagination, and experiences that are different from what you already know.
The Snapshot also measures Honesty-Humility, which appears in your report but is not part of the portrait code. How much you tell the truth, play fair, want only your fair share, and avoid showing off, even when you could get away with more.
Questions about The Visionary

- Take the free Wellington Snapshot: 60 questions, about 7 minutes. You answer all the questions first, then you sign in with an email so your answers are saved and your results can be shown. There is no card. Your free results name your portrait and show your five dimensions.
- Is The Visionary a personality type?
- Not in the sense of a box you are sorted into. Wellington measures continuous traits and reports each as a percentile against a reference sample. The Visionary names the combination of bands your scores fall in, and a score near a band boundary can land on either side on a retake. Wellington describes ordinary variation in personality; it is not a diagnosis and is not designed for hiring. Read more about types and traits
