Profile shape
Extraversion stands out, while Emotional steadiness and Conscientiousness sit lower: one's energy is turned outward, expressive and responsive, with a preference for flexibility over fixed processes. It sits between Learning, Ideas & Culture, which shares its expressiveness, and Leading, Selling & Serving, which shares its outward energy.
These describe relative emphasis within a profile: what stands out against a person's own average, not how high their scores are.

Occupational Family Wheel
Role groups, which are rolled up into Archetypes and then into broad Family groups, sit and operate on a number of continuums that enable us to view the entire group on a circumplex, or wheel. This clearly illustrates the way in which groups of related roles will share similarlties in behavioural preference, and temperament, that suits the role best. Human beings are highly complex and capable of a whole lot, and the roles that we occupy are complex and not a one-size-fits-all. We are well suited to more than just our 'one, true calling', and so you are matched to multiple Archetypes and Family groups accordingly.
