The Sage
The truth will set you free.
The Sage never stops learning and has a desire to understand everything. This understanding doesn't necessarily mean a desire to act on that truth,
which can sometimes keep the Sage a dispassionate observer in his or her own life.
Strengths
Discovering the deeper truths in situations means that the Sage is less likely to get caught up in an emotional reaction to short term problems. You may have a capacity for critical analysis and tend to be a good strategic thinker.
Traps to Avoid:
The Sage can study issues forever and never act. There is also a danger of getting caught up in a particular way of studying an issue, shutting out new or revolutionary ways of doing things.
