Social Threes are the most typical Threes. They care about recognition, status and a good impression. They know exactly what's valued in a given environment and how to present themselves accordingly. These are people who quickly learn the rules of the game and win it.
They're high-performing, confident, and the most competitive and assertive of all the Threes. They also adapt to their audience best. They want to be seen as successful, capable and winning. Beneath that is often a fear that without success they'd have no worth. That's why failure is very hard for them, and they're quick to repackage it as an opportunity.
