Map of The 8 American Types and the Positive-Future Cooperative-Integrative by Social Material Stress
|
| This view portrays a more accurate sense of the distribution of population of The 8 American Types, and gives us a more telling depiction of how our diverse American population is more deeply connected. This may be the first research-based depiction ever made of the social basis for "unity within diversity."
It must be noted that, typological demonstration of commonalities notwithstanding, each of The 8 American Types are very distinct from one another, although some of the shaded regions may occupy the same areas.

 The boundaries which have been used in the past to denote separateness and distinction can no longer serve us. Therefore, each step we take as individuals to become a "bridge" to those with whom we share this desire is another step in the attainment of a more positive future.
As you can see, typological research provides a solid basis for identifying sections of society (and specific individuals) who can best bridge the most positive elements (our highest common denominators) between subgroups, and the building of suitable, practical strategies and public communications. This research has many applications, including leadership development and involvement in innovative strategies and campaigns.

Voting in America
There is an enormous pool of voters and non-voters who identify with and aspire to values and beliefs for a positive future. As the past 20 years of elections (including the year 2000) have demonstrated, large numbers of Americans do not find sufficient value in participating in the simple act of voting. It is important, however, that they not be written off, as is usually the case. A significant number of people who tend not to vote do participate in society in various and quite obvious ways, such as donating money and time. And unlike most regular voters, they expect or prefer leaders to hold to a higher standard of morals and ethics than they themselves.
