An NF heart that chases meaning and values, plus the upright nature of a tall tree, makes an idealist who actually acts on the ideal instead of only talking about it. Your convictions are firm, and learning to compromise will widen your influence. Extraversion plus a tall tree’s upward drive: you step onto the stage and lead others in the open. Judging plus a tall tree: you set goals and grow toward them stage by stage, a diligent designer.
