Which stage of Spiral Dynamics do you currently identify with the most?

[Unlimited]

I didn't include beige, purple and red in the poll because I don't think anyone here really identifies with one of these the most.

Can I vote in my own poll? Seems like I can't as topic creator.

I think I'm a hybrid. I mostly ascribe myself to stage Green but I like certain healthy elements of stage Blue as well. 

[Raphael]

I have difficulties identifying myself.

[Quader]

I would personally choose beige because it's a stage without pretext, it's kind of the core of being. Beige is the source from which every other stage sprouts

How does it integrate stage yellow and turquoise? 

[M A J I]

Neither stages nor dynamics, illusory limitations and unnecessary compartmentalization.

[RendHeaven]

Yellow from the cradle to the grave baby

[The Crocodile]

Polycorn.

[Inception]

Stage yellow, but with a lot of holes in the lower levels. Like a cheese 

[Reciprocality]

The superficial differences are real, the rest are just practical

Honestly I have a lot of issues and hangups with Red. I live my life trying to build up my professional career and earn money, so I'm mainly centered around Orange. But I have a keen New Age inclination, as well as liberal and progressive ideals and views on society, social relations, and politics, so Green. As for Blue, I need to urgently develop that part of myself, as I completely lack discipline, being on time, waking up on time, consistent work ethic, being responsible with money, not giving in to my various addictions, etc...

But my center of gravity is definitely 50/50 Orange and Red. Maybe 50% Orange, 40% Red, and 10% Green.

I'll be honest, I mainly identify with yellow even though other people on this forum would think I'm nuts. I tried taking online tests and evaluations for this and I consistently got yellow. I tried describing myself to an AI. I don't know how trustworthy it is, but it also said yellow.

Maybe the truth is that I don't really fit cleanly into any category. I might have some qualities of blue, some orange, some green, and some yellow. I view it like 35% yellow, 15% blue, 30% green, 20% orange. Maybe it is some kind of combination like this. Maybe it's actually 20% yellow and 35% orange if you think I mixed things up.

But if trump is stage yellow, then I'm stage white super mind.

An interesting phenomon that I've noticed is that the more I evolve as a human the more profound I integrate lower stages. Let me see how I explain this because it's really tricky.

For example, while being in Tier 2 you may have breakthroughs in orange and green, even blue, which are so deep that your life is profoundly transformed. Right now I'm going through a whole recontextualization of Yellow that is honestly changing me inside out, like all levels get worked through iterations the more you advance. Let's say you are in Yellow for some years and then you're maturing yourself, you will find out that all Tier 1 gets worked through again. So to move beyond, you further integrate and embody past levels.

A professor explained me that many university graduates went back to the first lessons to consolidate the nuances of core concepts and build a better foundation. They were surprised to discover how much they learnt which was initially overlooked; as the "structure" was good enough to keep building up. But at some point if you want to keep constructing, then you gotta reiterate all the previous levels and "fill in the holes" making a more compact and holistic foundation that supports your skyscraper developmental stage.

Very good point!

You can see it in physical buildings too, at some point you'll need to have a stronger foundation if you want to build higher.

None. The model looks too pretentious and simplistic to me. I am not higher nor lower in development than anyone on this Planet, nor am I better or worse of a human because of it. We just have different genetics and upbringing, that's all

@Davino If you have five friends and one day you change the way you see one of them, the rest four will also rearrange in your mind and you will see them differently as well.

Lastly I started to think about orange in a more forgiving way and see the good and heart behind its technical thinking what doesnt mean i agree to the general thinking. Still get triggered in familiy dinners with issues especially in the western medicine field because one of them learn medicine and arrise issues I familiar with their controversy from personal experience.
