The practical guide (only included in the book version) helps you identify what your strengths are and what artists you most likely will identify with. Personally, I could probably never be an Artisan like Bill Evans or BB King because my dominant traits aren't dedication, discipline, meticulousness, etc. However, if I develop those traits I have a chance.

As an interdisciplinary artist, my projects are usually spontaneous, empathetic, and largely go unnoticed (except for Rejection Therapy). I embark on projects without any formal training, learning on the way. I fit best as a Level 1 Outsider.
