High Future Outlook
Expressions activating this band frame experience in terms of change over time and personal trajectory. They emphasize reflection on how life patterns are shifting and imply active consideration of where current behavior is leading.
Strong Future Outlook
Expressions activating this band explicitly project the self into a future position or status. They present a clear, personally anchored vision of where one expects to stand years ahead.
