The CVI has 4 energies. Does this mean that the population can be broken down into just 4 groups?
There are four core value energies, called Builder, Merchant, Innovator, and Banker. Everyone's personality contains a specific combination or ratio of these energies, represented by scores between 0 (none) and 36 (maximum). Although every CVI profile scores sum to be exactly 72, it is the unique combination or relative presence of these energies that make up your personality. Instead of 4 personality types, there are actually tens of millions of different CVI profiles! An example CVI profile might be 27-Innovator, 17-Banker, 15-Builder, and 13-Merchant. This person's profile would commonly be referred to as an Innovator/Banker.
