Meet the rebel.
The rebel seeks liberation from the establishment and pursues cutting-edge solutions with the ability to disrupt the status quo.
In our 12-week odyssey into the archetypes, it's time to visit the rebel (sometimes known as the maverick) and get to know it.
As a close cousin to the explorer, the rebel is also motivated by independence, but in a different way.
Where the explorer is ultimately soul-searching, the rebel wants to leave a mark in the world, and it does so by breaking the rules.
This creates a radical difference in their way of reaching independence, which ultimately sets them apart.
To put simply, the explorer pursues freedom, and the rebel pursues liberation.
Seen in a personal development perspective, it anchors them in two opposite types of motivation.
The explorer is “towards motivated” and the rebel is “away-from motivated”.
