Domain Overview

This is the life story that is held by a solid eighth of the population (12%). It features the elements of our initial individuating somatic orientation, which goes back to 'terrible two' phase during the 2nd year of life. People with this PRIMARY DOMAIN are the more intellectual somas that seek that a more purposeful vibe from other people. Their attention focuses on deepening their self-referencing connection, which makes them very sensitive to changes in their conceptual world. They draw their coherence from intrapersonal sources and use a rich cognitive awareness to access it. Their reference point for wholeness is usually their personal beliefs, experiences, memories and ideas and the validation they get from sharing them with other people. They learn best in levels, since they seek to prioritize their actions. A progressive movement from concrete objectives to abstract meaning is favored. They are highly competitive and enjoy a goal-based atmosphere. Their optimal interpersonal distance is what's known as 'personal space', which is from 1.5 to 4 feet from other people.

Read the following narrative three different ways...first to yourself as you see it here on the screen. Then print it out and read them in a mirror, as if you're trying to converse with your reflection. Then, if you're up to it, read it to someone else. All of these experiences are universal; self-talk, self-recognition, and self-disclosure. What you'll discover is if this narrative captures your life story or not. The words will flow easily if the biological level of your belief system buys what you're saying. You will have identified your PRIMARY DOMAIN. From there, the closed world you had can open.

The ONTO Narrative…

I'm somebody who needs to be on my A-game and in control of what I'm doing. I value and nurture my ideas and enjoy many creative moments. I can accurately advise other people and feel a profound frustration when that's not welcomed. I'm a team leader and thrive in group settings where there's a clear goal. Some would say that I'm overly assertive, but in fact I need to make some kind of impact in order to know I'm fully interacting. My thoughts are my guiding force, and I'm very aware when they are clouded or upset. I like being considered a peak performer. More than anything, I want to leave an unforgettable legacy.
