TEAM STRUCTURE
WHY TIP EXISTS (OUR MISSION)
TIP’s mission is “To empower non-professional investors between 25-35 through simple, actionable, and authentic education.”
WHAT WE WANT TO ACHIEVE (OUR VISION)
We envision WSB and TIVN fully powered by a hand-picked team capable of producing quality content that is read, listened to, and watched by at least a million people per day.
THE TIP VALUES
#1. First Things First:
- Do what is important and urgent
- Do what is important and not urgent
- Do what is not important but urgent
- Do what is not important and not urgent
#2. Innovation
We continuously figure out what works, or we fail as quickly as possible and move on to new innovative projects, which is the only way to ensure that we have a stable and growing business. We roll with the punches of rapid change in our industry by continuously changing our processes internally and externally.
#3. Radical Transparency
TIP always searches for the truth in an open and thoughtful dialogue with multiple disagreements, regardless of rank and experience.
#4. Responsibility
When we make a mistake (and we will make plenty), everyone takes more than their fair share of the responsibility for why it happened. We learn from the mistake and improve our processes thereby ensuring it doesn’t happen again.
#5. Caring
Everything we do starts with caring for each individual team member. Only then can the individual team members care for TIP and the TIP community.
TEAM PERSONALITY
TIP strives everyday to have a well-functioning and collaborative team that can address the needs of the community. One of the efforts in line with this goal is to ensure that the team is comprised of diverse individual who can get along based on their personality types.
If you aspire to be part of the team behind TIP, it is vital to learn more about the members of the team and their personalities to see if you’ll be a good fit!
THE MIND ASPECT
When considering people who are Introverts (I) and Extroverts (E), it’s natural to go straight to the more social aspects of these personality traits. However, they are more than this. These traits are also defined by their broader response to their environments, which includes other people but isn’t exclusively about them.
Extroverts are interested in engaging with their environment, and they feed off the responses of the people and events around them. They enjoy pushing limits and seeing what the world can do. This all depends on many other factors and life’s natural limitations, but Extroverted personality types lean toward taking the initiative and relying on the world around them for validation.
Introverts are well-suited to many situations. A tendency to be reserved helps these personality types to pace themselves. They’re likely to listen to others more carefully. Very introspective, Introverts enjoy more focused “alone time” – leading to more and deeper insights. And, while sometimes too sensitive to their environments, this often helps them pick up cues more quickly, making them great at reading many situations.
THE ENERGY ASPECT
Our second personality scale includes the Intuitive (N) and Observant (S) styles. These traits describe what people are more likely to do with the information gathered from the world around them. Intuitive personality types rely on imagining the past and future potential of what they see. Those with the Observant style are more interested in observable facts and more straightforward outcomes. They prefer to avoid layering too much interpretation on what they see.
People with the Intuitive trait prefer to exercise their imaginations as they seek new ideas and possibilities. They live their day-to-day lives just like any other personality type. But while that’s happening, their minds tend to point inward while at the same time gently focusing somewhere beyond the horizon. Their lives are ones of questioning, wondering, and connecting the dots in the “bigger picture,” and they love the theoretical. They often ask, “What if?” and ponder the possibilities the future might hold.
The phrase “real-time” was created with Observant individuals in mind. They’re most in touch with what occurs in front of them, in the present. This doesn’t mean Observant personality types have no regard for the past and future. But they view both from the perspective of how each influences their present actions. This makes them focused and practical people. They mostly root their thinking in the actionable, tangible, and useful. But make no mistake, these personalities can be creative within that realm.
THE NATURE ASPECT
Our third, Nature scale reveals the extent to which we value emotions or rationality more when considering options. Does a person tend to use the Thinking (T) personality trait, which relies on the head, or the Feeling (F) trait, which relies on the heart?
When presented with a decision, people with the Thinking trait typically lean on objective information. Knowledge is their indispensable tool. Once these personality types gather the facts, they test their alternatives against logic and reason to see which decision, by those standards, proves the most effective or realistic. They generally manage their relationships by employing fairness and effectiveness as their primary method of dealing with others. Their passions are born of respect.
People with the Feeling trait follow their hearts and emotions – sometimes without even realizing it. They may show it to different degrees and in different ways, but however they do it, Feeling personality types tend to be caring, compassionate, and warm. These concerned people can be highly protective of those they care about – whether that is their immediate family or remote populations in need.
THE TACTICS ASPECT
The Tactics scale, which includes the Judging (J) and Prospecting (P) personality traits, reflects how people plan and deal with the options they have. But this definition doesn’t just concern what individuals write in their day planners. It’s much broader. These traits answer questions like, “Do you prefer spontaneity or certainty?” “Do you feel more comfortable acting only with all your ducks lined neatly in a row? Or does a certain amount of flexibility or chaos excite you and prove motivating?” “Do you need more choices or fewer?”
People with the Judging personality trait feel most comfortable when the course ahead is well-marked. They would rather come up with five backup plans than deal with events as they come. Preferring to consider their options ahead of time, personality types with this trait prefer clarity and closure, sticking with the plan rather than going with the flow. It’s as if Judging types always keep a mental checklist. When they cross something off their list – or even start an item on their list – they consider it complete and not open to reconsideration.
Prospecting individuals are much more flexible when it comes to dealing with unexpected challenges. This flexibility helps them seize unexpected opportunities as well. These personality types tend to react to their environments rather than try to control them, helping them to make their own luck in whatever the world delivers. People with this trait hold that life is full of possibilities.
THE IDENTITY ASPECT
The Identity scale, made up of the Assertive (-A) and Turbulent (-T) personality traits, affects all other scales and indicates how confident we are in our abilities and decisions. Identity triggers the way we react to the things life constantly throws at us. How do we respond to success and failure? Criticism or feedback from other people? Unexpected events that suddenly change many things or everything? Even the unknown future?
Assertive individuals are self-assured, even-tempered, and resistant to stress. They don’t worry too much, but this is different from apathy. They aim for goals and want successful results, but they typically won’t let nervousness color the path to their accomplishments. They’re unlikely to spend a lot of time thinking about their past actions or choices. According to Assertive personality types, what’s done is done.
Turbulent individuals are success-driven, perfectionistic, and eager to improve. They are always trying to counterbalance their self-doubts by achieving more. Just as they push themselves to become better, they’re as likely to push their projects or efforts in the same direction. Turbulent personality types tend to notice little problems and often do something about them before they become larger ones.
PERSONALITIES
INFJ
An Advocate (INFJ) is someone with the Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Judging personality traits. They tend to approach life with deep thoughtfulness and imagination. Their inner vision, personal values, and a quiet, principled version of humanism guide them in all things.
Assertive Advocates are more likely to be confident and relaxed. Turbulent Advocates are likely to question themselves more and are ordinarily more sensitive to stressors.
ENFJ
A Protagonist (ENFJ) is a person with the Extraverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Judging personality traits. These warm, forthright types love helping others, and they tend to have strong ideas and values. They back their perspective with the creative energy to achieve their goals.
As would be expected, Assertive Protagonists view themselves with more self-confidence, while Turbulent Protagonists tend to see themselves with less. However, as Protagonists are charismatic and natural leaders, this Turbulent tendency may not always be evident on the surface. This self-assessment can help keep Turbulent Protagonists humbler in their leadership.
INFP
A Mediator (INFP) is someone with the Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Prospecting traits. These rare personality types tend to be quiet, open-minded, and imaginative, and they apply a caring and creative approach to everything they do.
Turbulent Mediators’ high regard for the opinion of others potentially makes them better listeners and team players – even if in an Introverted way.
ISTJ
A Logistician (ISTJ) is someone with the Introverted, Observant, Thinking, and Judging personality traits. These people tend to be reserved yet willful, with a rational outlook on life. They compose their actions carefully and carry them out with methodical purpose.
Unexpected changes bother Logisticians more than any other personality type, and this is especially true for Turbulent Logisticians. However, in their ongoing need to improve and with their sense of uncertainty, they may actually be more willing to change, despite a certain amount of distress, than the more settled Assertive Logisticians. Assertive Logisticians are the least impulsive personality type, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that they are the least flexible.
ESTJ
An Executive (ESTJ) is someone with the Extraverted, Observant, Thinking, and Judging personality traits. They possess great fortitude, emphatically following their own sensible judgment. They often serve as a stabilizing force among others, able to offer solid direction amid adversity.
Assertive Executives are more likely than Turbulent Executives to consider themselves very purposeful people. However, on closer inspection, both personality types have strong focus and are goal-oriented. Turbulent Executives tend to be more emotionally reactive and more easily angered. This is likely born of a more defensive stance rather than an aggressive one.
INTJ
An Architect (INTJ) is a person with the Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Judging personality traits. These thoughtful tacticians love perfecting the details of life, applying creativity and rationality to everything they do. Their inner world is often a private, complex one.
Assertive Architects are likely to approach the things they do with a greater degree of self-assurance. These Architects feel more confident about handling the stressors that are inevitably a part of life. For Turbulent Architects, many of their best efforts come from concerns about real or perceived shortcomings. This may push them to work harder and be more meticulous in an attempt to do better or make things better.
ESFJ
A Consul (ESFJ) is a person with the Extraverted, Observant, Feeling, and Judging personality traits. They are attentive and people-focused, and they enjoy taking part in their social community. Their achievements are guided by decisive values, and they willingly offer guidance to others.
How Assertive and Turbulent Consul personalities each deal with regrets can tell us much about their fundamental differences. Both types do deal with their personal failures. But Assertive Consuls say they regret outcomes more than behaviors, while Turbulent Consuls regret their actions more.
