By overlaying The 8 American Types onto the PFCI-SMS quadrant, a detailed, organic, and dynamic portrayal of society becomes more evident than with the five quadrant zones alone. The PFCI scale clearly distinguishes those of The 8 American Types who most identify with a broad spiritual connection and cooperation (SCT, WNL, CSE, and PA types) from those who least identify with broad connection and cooperation (CC, ETV, DSC, and CMW types).
The SMS scale differentiates between those with lower annual incomes who are more concerned with the difficulties of material life and who report the highest incidence of emotional stress (CC, DSC, PA, and WNL types) from those for whom this is less the case (CSE, SCT, CMW, and ETV types).
The color overlay graph at left dramatically illustrates the relationship of The 8 American Types to one another as well as their distribution over the entire PFCI-SMS model of society. One of the most striking aspects of this overlay map is its demonstration of commonalities within our diverse American population.
On an individual basis, this map shows that we are each an integral part of a larger whole and that our higher aspirations and desires are common to a majority of Americans.
