Types of Futurist

Greta Thunberg
climate activist
Disruptor
(Pessimist/Idealist)
Your vision of the future is not positive, but you still believe in your ability to influence the outcome. You’re an active change agent, believing that the only way out is through. With a focus on more radical innovation ideas and concepts that offer solutions to present challenges, the disruptors tend to hold an ideal vision and hope for improvements into the future.

CRISPR gene-editing technology co-developer
Visionary
(Optimist/Idealist)
You acknowledge that things are good and generally think things will continue to get better. You are confident in your ability to act and create a better world, believing in the potential of the present and the possibilities of the future. The visionaries are idealists, dedicated to transformative thinking and bold ideas that aim to change the world for the better.
Melania Trump
past First Lady, USA
Survivalist
(Pessimist/Pragmatist)
Not only is your perception of the present negative, but you also feel that things will get worse. You believe you have limited control over influencing change and are focused on smaller, incremental improvements in survival mode. The survivalists are typically concerned with business continuity, maintaining the status quo, putting one foot in front of the other, and taking things day by day, waiting to adapt to the changing world around them.
StacEy Abrams
politician and voting rights activist
Progressive
(Optimist/Pragmatist)
Though your vision of the future is positive; you tend to be more of an observant than an active change agent. You tend to focus on slow, measured, and incremental changes designed to improve current conditions and more prosperous futures. The progressives are agile and adaptable, but are also realists, focused on practical solutions that build on a long history of progressive improvement.
