Something you probably didn’t know is that your Overachiever Archetype is your workplace's beloved dynamo! It gives you energy when you're in a meeting, it makes you shine in front of your clients, it helps you get out of bed in the morning but here’s the million-dollar question:
How is your Overachiever Archetype actually tripping you up at work?
Below I will break down each archetype one-by-one. If you don't know yours yet, then take the quiz before diving in.
Type A No-Chill
Let’s face it, being tagged as the "go-getter" feels exhilarating. It’s like wearing an invisible crown that whispers, "I’m capable, reliable, and oh-so-driven!" But beneath this shiny exterior, could this relentless pursuit of perfection be the very thing weaving a web of work-life imbalance, burnout, and missed connections? Are you running a race against yourself, setting the bar impossibly high and then berating yourself for not vaulting over it with ease and grace?
In your world every task is a mission, every project a mega-project, and every success just a stepping stone to the next big challenge. This intensity can lead to astounding results, yes, but at what cost? It's crucial to take a step back and ask: Is my Type A No Chill personality serving me, or am I serving it?
Do you strive for perfection in everything you do? You might be a "Type A No-Chill."
Take my quiz to find out and learn how your relentless drive impacts your daily life and success.
Scattered Creative Genius
Imagine this: Your mind is a buzzing beehive of brilliant ideas, each more dazzling than the last. It’s like being in an art gallery where every painting is a masterpiece screaming for your attention.?
But here’s the thing: when every idea feels urgent, how do you choose where to put your full attention??
This creative abundance can leave you jumping from one project to another. When was the last time you took a project from A to Z without getting distracted?
Isn’t it time to channel this creative energy into completing one brilliant piece at a time??

Comparison Queen
Your eyes are constantly on the horizon. Scanning for benchmarks and milestones set by others. It's like being in a perpetual race where the finish line keeps moving based on someone else’s path. But what if you set your own finish line??
This endless comparison can be exhausting, leading to a sense of never being enough. By shifting your gaze from others to your own track, you can redefine what success looks like for you. Once you realize that it’s about running your race at your pace, you will discover the incredible potential hidden within you.

Giving Goddess
Let’s face it, being known as the "Giving Goddess" at work can feel like wearing a glowing halo. It’s a badge of honor that says, "I’m compassionate, supportive, and generous!" But beneath this radiant exterior, could this ceaseless altruism be spinning a subtle web of self-neglect, exhaustion, and overlooked opportunities?
Are you focused on helping others while forgetting to carve out time for victories of your own?
In your world, every request is an urgent call. Every colleague's project a mission for your involvement. Every team success is partly your doing.
But where do you stand in the success stories you help write? This intensity of giving can lead to impressive outcomes, yes, but at what cost to your own goals?
Do you find yourself always putting others first? You might be a "Giving Goddess." Take our quiz to confirm your archetype and learn how your generous spirit influences your daily life and interactions.
