Brilliant exploration, my friend, which comes with no surprise! If I may add something here, I'd say that there might be some exception to the rule for the "achievers" group!

As a former perfectionist or, what is clinically known as a person suffering from an Imposter Syndrome, I used to be a workaholic and top performer!

It wasn't because I had a clear sense of my drive and motivation. Rather because I was deriving my worth from two sources: 1. Achieving and 2. People pleasing!

That is, unless we may come back to our original granted Center before any conditioning started taking place (the Universal Principles/Laws), being an achiever is merely a coping mechanism and can be as unhealthy as the other quadrants, if not more (I had at least 3 burnouts during my IT career in corporates).
