          "name": "The Assertive Communicator",
          "desc": "Your answers point to an Assertive style — the clear-and-respectful approach that holds your own needs and the other person's as equally valid. You say what you mean directly, ask for what you want without over-apologising or demanding, and can take criticism without crumbling or firing back. You disagree openly but kindly, and people tend to know exactly where they stand with you. Communication research treats this balance as the healthiest pattern, the one where needs get met and conflict resolves instead of festering. This is a self-reflection snapshot of your default approach, not a verdict on your character.",
          "recommendation": "Your gift is the rare balance of honesty and respect — you can be direct without bruising people, and clear without going quiet. The growth edge is staying assertive when the stakes are high, since it's easy to slide toward passive or aggressive under real pressure. Keep reading the room too: not everyone hears directness the way you do, so a softer on-ramp sometimes helps the candor land. The pattern that serves you is the one you already lean on — honest, kind, and steady."
        },
        "passive": {
          "name": "The Passive Communicator",
          "desc": "Your answers point to a Passive style — high on keeping the peace, lighter on voicing your own needs. You'll often go along with what others want, hold your real opinions to avoid an awkward moment, and absorb a slight rather than make a fuss. There's genuine strength here: you're easy to be around, you make space for others, and you're often the calm, unjudging presence in a tense room. The trade-off the research highlights is that when your needs stay invisible, they don't disappear — they tend to build quietly into resentment, and people never learn what you actually wanted. This is a mirror of your default approach, not a judgement of your worth.",
          "recommendation": "Your gift is patience and a real generosity of attention — people feel safe and unhurried with you. The growth edge is letting your own needs into the room, since silence reads as agreement and quietly costs you. Try naming one small preference out loud this week — 'I'd actually prefer…' — and notice the sky doesn't fall. You don't have to become forceful; you just have to let yourself be one of the people whose needs count."
        },
        "aggressive": {
          "name": "The Aggressive Communicator",
          "desc": "Your answers point to an Aggressive style — direct and forceful, sometimes at the expense of how it lands on others. When you feel strongly you push your point hard, and in a heated moment you can interrupt, get loud, or lean on bluntness and pressure to get your way. There's real strength in this: you're decisive, unafraid to say the hard thing, and you can cut through fog and get things moving when others hesitate. The trade-off the research flags is that force tends to buy compliance, not buy-in — people may agree to your face and quietly withdraw, which is fear rather than alignment. This is a snapshot of your default approach, not a measure of how much you care.",
          "recommendation": "Your gift is conviction and momentum — you make decisions and move things forward. The growth edge is winning the point without bruising the person, because trust is what turns agreement into real cooperation. Try asking one genuine question before pushing your view — curiosity disarms more than volume does — and watch for the moment people stop pushing back not because they agree, but because they've given up. You can keep all your directness and add the respect that makes people actually want to follow you."

        "passive_aggressive": {
          "name": "The Passive-Aggressive Communicator",
          "desc": "Your answers point to a Passive-Aggressive style — you feel things strongly but find the direct route risky, so frustration leaks out sideways through sarcasm, hints, withdrawal, or expecting people to just know what's wrong. It's easy to read this harshly, but underneath the indirectness is real perception: you notice what's unfair and what's been left unsaid, you just haven't yet found it safe to say it straight. The trade-off the research highlights is that the hint-and-hope loop almost always backfires — people feel the chill without understanding it, and the underlying issue never actually gets resolved. This is a compassionate snapshot of a pattern, not a judgement of your character.",
          "recommendation": "If this result stings, read it as information, not indictment — passive-aggressive patterns usually come from learning, somewhere, that direct honesty wasn't safe. The most useful shift isn't 'be nicer'; it's saying the real thing earlier, while it's still small. Try catching one 'fine, whatever' and swapping it for the sentence underneath — 'actually, that bothered me because…'. Your perception is a genuine asset; said plainly and in time, the resentment you feel becomes a clear boundary instead of a sideways jab."
