Tribal

This interesting site, called 8 Tribes: The Hidden Classes of New Zealand, identifies your preferred tribal alignment based on behavior and beliefs...I took the survey and this was what it told me:




The Raglan Tribe – Free spirited

Whether they’ve been spat out of it, left it on their own terms, or just never got the point of it, Raglan tribe members don’t belong to the mainstream. This tribe is far more contented when it feels it has flexibility and autonomy.

The key word for the Raglan tribe is FREEDOM; its icons are the adventurer and the artist. Raglan tribe members want to create and control their own destiny. Their approach to authority is not so much defiance as indifference. They need to do what they need to do and if the rules don’t fit then the rules are wrong.

The need to be free can express itself as a strong entrepreneurial spirit, and many of our most distinctive off-beat business success stories appear to have been driven by entrepreneurs with the Raglan spirit. These are the mavericks of New Zealand society – the people who did what the others only dreamed of.

The Raglan tribe seeks pleasure through experiences rather than things. Often members see accumulated possessions as a barrier or hindrance to doing what you want to do. They attach profound meaning to their experiences, whether they involve something creative or physically demanding or intensely emotional. In fact, they’ll shy away from anything that doesn’t hold their interest or whet their appetite for living. As workers, members of the Raglan tribe are better off without a boss. They’re natural self-employed contractors, free-agent artisans and business owners.
