Combination BC: Connection

B:C QUICK TO CONNECT OR TAKES TIME TO CONNECT

The B and C factor combination tells us if a person establishes a connection with others quickly or if those connections take time.

• If someone’s B is higher than their C, they’re likely quick to connect. The high B means they’re social and enthusiastic while the low C means they’re fast-paced, so connections and relationships are built quickly.

• If someone’s C is higher than their B, they’re likely to take time to connect. The high C means they’re calm and steady while the low b means they’re more reflective and introspective, so connections and relationships are built over time.
