按照Ray Dalio的说法，这样的人同时兼有两种不同甚至是皆然相反的特征：

1.  Big picture thinking  AND granular details

2.  Creative  AND routine (management) tasks

3.  Open-minded  AND assertive

此外，他们还有一些共性：

1.  Tough on people; 

2.  Typically viewed as "have no concerns for others"  (they choose their goals as opposed to pleasing others, when the two are in conflict)

3.  Very persistent on their goals

4.  The more the fail, the more they get intriged with their pursuit of their goals
