Structural relationships
What opposes what
The two strongest negative correlations in the data — confirming the oppositional positioning in the hexagon diagram.
Philanthropist ↔ Disruptor
−0.46
The strongest opposition in the model. Altruistic purpose and system-change motivation pull in opposite directions.
Socialiser ↔ Free Spirit
−0.44
Connection-seeking and independence-seeking are genuinely opposed — exactly the pair sitting opposite each other in the diagram.
Philanthropist ↔ Socialiser
+0.18
Related but genuinely distinct — the 4th most common co-dominant pairing despite this low correlation.
