          "desc": "Your answers point to a largely external locus of control — a sense that luck, fate, timing, and other people drive what happens to you more than your own actions do. There's a real truth underneath this: a lot genuinely is outside any one person's control, and people with this outlook are often realistic, humble, and quick to read how circumstances and systems shape outcomes. The cost is that it can quietly drain motivation — if effort doesn't change much, why push? This is a self-reflection snapshot, not a fixed trait; locus of control is one of the more learnable parts of how we see the world.",
          "recommendation": "The most useful shift isn't to pretend you control everything — it's to find the slice you do control inside situations that feel out of your hands. Pick one area that matters to you and run a small experiment: set a specific action, take it, and watch what actually changes. Stacking up evidence that your effort moves the needle is how an internal sense of agency is built. Keep your realism about luck and systems — just stop letting it talk you out of trying."

        "leaning_external": {
          "name": "Leaning External",
          "desc": "Your answers lean external, but not all the way. You can see how your choices matter, yet you also give a lot of weight to luck, timing, and forces outside yourself — and when things go wrong, the explanation often lands on circumstances rather than something you could have done differently. This is an extremely common and balanced-sounding place to sit. The risk is subtle: in the moments that most need your effort, the external story can switch on and let you off the hook before you've really tried.",
          "recommendation": "Notice the specific situations where you reach for 'it's out of my hands.' Sometimes that's accurate — and sometimes it's a reflex that arrives a beat too early. The next time you catch it, ask one question: 'What is the one thing here that *is* mine to influence?' Then do that thing. You don't need to overhaul your worldview; you just need to claim the agency that's genuinely yours in the moments it counts."

        "leaning_internal": {
          "name": "Leaning Internal",
          "desc": "Your answers lean internal — you mostly see your life as the product of your own decisions, effort, and follow-through, while still acknowledging that luck and circumstance play a part. This is a strong, well-balanced outlook: it tends to go with persistence, problem-solving, and a willingness to take responsibility, without tipping into the trap of blaming yourself for things you couldn't have changed. You take ownership where ownership belongs, and that's exactly where it's most useful.",
          "recommendation": "Keep leaning on your agency — it's serving you. The one thing worth watching is the edge case where an internal locus turns into over-responsibility: taking the blame for outcomes that were genuinely driven by luck, timing, or other people. When something goes wrong, separate 'what was mine to control' from 'what wasn't,' and only carry the first. That keeps your drive intact while protecting you from unnecessary guilt."
        },
        "internal": {
          "name": "Internal Locus",
          "desc": "Your answers point to a strongly internal locus of control — a deep conviction that your choices, effort, and persistence are what shape how your life turns out. This outlook is a genuine asset: it's linked with motivation, resilience, and the kind of follow-through that gets hard things done, because you act as though your actions matter (and so they tend to). The honest caveat is that a very strong internal locus can tip into taking on responsibility for things truly outside your control — luck, other people, timing, systems — which can become a quiet source of stress or self-blame.",
          "recommendation": "Your sense of agency is a strength worth protecting — the skill that completes it is discernment. Before you shoulder an outcome, check whether it was actually yours to control; if a chunk of it came down to luck or circumstances, let that part go rather than absorbing it as personal failure. Pair your drive with realism about what's outside your hands, and build in rest so relentless ownership doesn't curdle into burnout. Used wisely, the belief that your actions matter is one of the most powerful mindsets you can carry."
