Inkling type

The Prism

Your mind often makes the invisible visible. A dream, a sudden image, or a little scene may flash into view before you consciously understand what your mind has picked up. These glimpses can reveal possibilities and connections long before they become obvious.

Strength
Seeing possibilities before they fully take shape.
Blind spot
Visual impressions can be fleeting. Capture them while they're vivid, or they may disappear as quickly as they arrived.

The other five

The Prism and a second type

Most people lead with one type and lean on a second, their streak. Here's how The Prism works alongside each of the others.

  • The Ember

    Your intuition tends to show up as a physical sensation first: a tight chest, sudden lightness, a pull forward or an urge to step back. These sensations can begin as a quiet glow beneath the surface, giving you a felt sense of yes or no before your conscious mind has caught up.

    Your body reacts in the moment while your images arrive later. Trust the first signal, then check it against the second.

  • The Ripple

    A change in mood, an undercurrent between people, the feeling of a place: small shifts have a way of reaching you, even when you can't yet tell where they started. Often, you feel that something has changed before you can name what it is.

    Prism with a streak of Ripple: in harmony

    Your Prism and Ripple sides work as a pair. When both point the same way, they're rarely wrong.

  • The Echo

    “Not this one.” “Call her.” “Wait.” For you, words and phrases may surface unexpectedly, and continue to linger after other thoughts have moved on. Sometimes the same words return again and again, giving language to something you sensed before you consciously understood it.

    You see it and you hear it. Your images give your inner voice a picture to point at.

  • The Spindle

    Your mind is constantly picking up small details, inconsistencies, and connections that others might overlook. Somehow, those loose pieces gather into a thread, and you can sense what they add up to before you've consciously worked through every clue.

    Your imagination races ahead while your pattern sense pulls back. When both agree, act.

  • The Lantern

    Sometimes, you simply know. An answer can come into view fully formed, without the usual trail of reasoning leading up to it. You may not be able to explain how you got there, but more often than not, that sudden clarity points you in the right direction.
