Your result: The Mountain
The Mountain profile indicates that you have given yourself a relatively high rating for your Artisanal Habits but low or moderate ratings for your Behavioral, Social, and Emotional Habits. You feel skilful and articulate as a writer; however, you often struggle to make time for your writing, you tend to work in social isolation, and the writing process mostly brings you anxiety and frustration rather than joy. To broaden the BASE upon which your writing practice is built, consider drawing on your confidence and skill as a craftsperson to establish a more productive daily routine, widen your social horizons, and find greater pleasure writing.
