If Personalities Had Job Titles

Job titles and business cards go together like tacos and hot sauce; it’s something you just do, but did you know it common practice in some countries to put your personality on your business card? That got me thinking, what if personalities had job titles? They wouldn’t just describe rolls and responsibilities, they’d describe instincts. The things people consistently take ownership of without being asked, or the lens they use to make sense of what’s happening around them. To that end, here’s the top 10 job titles for each personality…

  1. Director of “Does This Actually Matter?”
  2. Human Experience Consultant
  3. Team Connection Architect
  4. Head of “Is Everyone Good This?”
  5. Purpose Alignment Advisor
  6. Culture Reality Check Consultant
  7. Connection Facilitator
  8. Unspoken Concerns Liaison
  9. Big Picture Navigator
  10. Collective Meaning Curator

Inquiring Green

  1. Chief Why Officer
  2. Director of Unintended Consequences
  3. Senior Assumption Tester
  4. Logic Quality Control Specialist

  1. Director of Making Sure This Actually Gets Done
  2. Process Integrity Manager
  3. Timeline Protection Specialist
  4. Head of “We’ve Always Done It This Way”
  5. Operational Stability Coordinator
  6. Details Matter Advocate

Resourceful Orange

  1. Director of “Let’s Just Try It”
  2. Principal Momentum Generator
  3. Chief Figure-It-Out Officer
  4. Rapid Response Specialist
  5. Senior Opportunity Spotter
  6. Workaround Engineer
  7. Action Over Analysis Lead
  8. Improvisation Consultant
  9. Make-It-Happen Coordinator
  10. Last-Minute Save Specialist


These might not be “official” titles that show up on business cards, but they tend to surface in how people show up day to day. You can see it in the questions they ask, the details they notice, the way they keep things organized, or how quickly they turn an idea into action. None of these roles are formally assigned, but they still get filled. Not because someone decided to take them on, but because that’s just the way they’re wired to contribute.
