Smith and Marcum. Coming 2026.

For decades we’ve been told

a code, color, or four letters can

capture who we are.

Know your type, know yourself. It’s nice. It’s tidy.

Except we’re not statues. 

We adapt, we evolve. All day, every day. That’s not a flaw. It’s human.

UNTYPED is a revolt.

A scientific shift from boxes and types to the underlying elements of who we really are.

Built on a decade of research—200 interviews, 8,000 surveys, hundreds of real-world breakdowns and breakthroughs—UNTYPED reveals 25 elemental powers that drive:

How you read a room.

How you create.

How you argue.

How you negotiate.

How you hold your ground.

How you adapt.

How you see.

How you sell.

How you talk.

How you solve.

Under pressure.

Organized into five essential sets—SEE, CREATE, STAND, BOND, RUN—UNTYPED pinpoints raw powers that work in the wild, the mental maps that activate each one, and the counterfeits that trigger personality clashes and poison chemistry.

It explores how the powers build résumés. Earn confidence. 

Stay poised. Stir things up. Cool  things down. Break what needs to be broken. Fix what needs to be fixed. Make what begs to be made.

So, keep your colors and codes.

There is no single archetype for brilliant leaders, creators, founders, negotiators, sellers, marketers, designers or strategists.

No secret CEO code.

Just core.

Personality is a mirror. Methods are mechanics. Skills come and go. 

UNTYPED IS ELEMENTAL.
