Levels of Alignment Flashcards

1
Q

TYPE 1:

MORAL PERFECTIONIST/ Aligned

A

Type 1s who align with the Gospel can
understand that their Inner Critic doesn’t have
power over them. They put their trust in the
truth of the Lord instead. They know, believe,
and trust that there is no more condemnation
and that they have been set free in Christ.
This allows them to be more accepting, noble,
respectful and trusting that God has everything
in control and that they can be patient for him
to make things right. It also frees them from
constantly feeling they have to police and judge
everything to ensure all is right. They trust that
God is sovereign and is working all things for
His good and glory. The aligned Type 1 knows
that they get to participate, but are not solely
responsible for making things right. God is in
control.

Q

TYPE 1:

MORAL PERFECTIONIST/ Misaligned

A

Type 1s who are not as self-aware and trusting in the Lord’s timing and will become more judgmental, reactive, opinionated, irritated, resentful, and rigid in
procedures to ensure accuracy or perfection
and appease their Inner Critic. They will convey
this through both their body language and
words. The problem is that their Inner Critic is
never satisfied, and it leads them down a path
with no final destination. They need to realize
that Christ accomplished everything, and they
can rest in His timing and provisions.

Control others by manipulating, shaming,

on others, and further isolates them from the
relationships and affirmation they desperately
seek.

Christ. They are adaptable, desirable, charming,

SUCCESSFUL ACHIEVER/ Misaligned

A

Highly concerned with their performance. They do
their job well, continually driving themselves
to achieve goals as if their self-worth depends
on it. They are terrified of failure and compare
themselves with others as they search for status
and recognition. It is here where they become
careerists and social climbers. They shape-shift
to the expectations of others and know what is
required to be and appear successful. They are
pragmatic and efficient but have lost touch with
their feelings beneath their smooth surface.
They put on a false image to win people over,
and are self-promoting so others will admire
and be amazed by their achievements.

Q

TYPE 7:

ENTERTAINING OPTIMIST/ Aligned

A

Aligns with the Gospel,
they know the joy and satisfaction they long for
will not come from exciting experiences and
constant stimulation. It comes from being in the
presence of God, who fills them up with real,
radiant joy. Being God’s beloved child means
they have everything they need to experience
the lasting satisfaction and happiness their
heart craves. They delight in simple wonders
and savor their blessings. When they are resting
in this deeply gratifying place, they can address
the painful realities of life and deal with the
sadness, disappointment, and sorrow that
come with living on earth. They know that the
story ends in triumph, with Christ conquering
life and death. They are still playful and fun, but
also principled, practical, and grounded.

Avoid any pain,
sadness, or disappointment. They think they
have to create new and exciting experiences to
avoid feelings of discomfort. They are a master
at reframing anything negative to escape pain.
They convince themselves and others that there
is a silver lining when something sad, upsetting,
or bad happens. This strategy keeps them from
living in the present reality and dealing with the
situation at hand. They might find it difficult
to focus on projects, commit to relationships,
and finish tasks. When others address these
struggles, they tend to escape into more exciting
and fun experiences to avoid feeling trapped in
emotional pain or negativity. Their avoidance of
issues only feeds and intensifies them.

also feel that others are inhibiting them from a
life of joy and happiness. They fail to see that
their discontentment stems from their insatiable
appetite that cannot be quenched with earthly
pleasures
