What’s Your Pioneer Type?

Adventurer

It’s all about the journey

The world is your playground. You feel most alive when you’re visiting new places and trying new experiences. You never back down from an expedition, no matter how far or how different. You want to see it all for yourself.

Advocate

Take a stand

You are the champion of your community. You fight for justice, for peace, for ensuring everyone has what they need to live a fulfilling life. You care about the world around you and work tirelessly to make it a better place.

Champion

Work hard to be your best

There is no task too tough for you to handle. Your energy is contagious, and you relish hard work. You’re a competitor, a grinder and a winner. You love being part of a team with a common goal—to be your best.

Inventor

Push the limits of creativity

You see the world in unique ways. You can take big ideas and turn them into creative expressions that connect with people on a deeper plane. You are an artist, a critic and a thinker who can bring a community together.

Pathfinder

A natural leader

You step up when you see an opportunity to lead. Others look to you for guidance and direction. You are a problem solver, a decision maker and a positive influence in your community.
