Slow and Steady

You warm up slowly, and once you're warm, not much can knock you off.

Slow and Steady is the type that warms up slowly and holds once warm. Nothing about it is broken. The accelerator simply asks for time, and the brakes stay out of the way once things begin.

On the map this type sits in the lower left. Rushed starts fail here, and unhurried ones land completely. Twenty unhurried minutes gets all of this type, and no shortcut does.

How it shows up

• You're not the person who's ready the second the idea comes up. Give it twenty unhurried minutes and you arrive completely.
• Being rushed is the fastest way to lose you. Being given time is the fastest way to get all of you.
• You stopped expecting lightning a while ago. What you actually do runs deeper than that anyway.

Where it sits on the map

Lower left: your desire builds slowly, and once it's going, it holds.

The science, briefly

In the Dual Control Model this is a low excitation, low inhibition pattern. The signal builds gradually and little interrupts it, which is why depth, not speed, is this type's home ground.

If this is your partner

If your partner is Slow and Steady, time is the whole invitation. Being given time is the fastest way to get all of them.
