Achiever vs Explorer

The Achiever and the Explorer are two of the archetypes in InnerOS. The Achiever wants to finish what it starts. The Explorer wants to find out what else is out there. They are not two kinds of people. They are two parts of you, and both are always there.

These two often pull in opposite directions. When one is loud, the other tends to go quiet.

When Achiever and Explorer pull apart

The Achiever wants to climb one mountain. The Explorer wants to see every mountain. The Achiever finds the Explorer unfocused. The Explorer finds the Achiever stuck on one path.

How they help each other

Together they make adventure with a point: you chase a goal and stay open to a better one. The Achiever gives direction. The Explorer checks that it is the right direction.
