When we sought to use AI to explore Robert Kiyosaki's Action Style factors, we chose a straightforward approach. We provided Grok, (the advanced AI developed by xAI) with the same survey prompts a human respondent would receive. Grok completed the survey phase just as a human would, offering responses as any individual familiar with Kiyosaki would do. (read more...)
Why Grok?: Grok stands out for its ability to synthesise vast data sets to draw coherent, insightful conclusions. Its design allows for an outside perspective on humanity which, when applied to understanding someone like Robert Kiyosaki, brings to light patterns, paradigms and behaviours as though a human had conducted the assessment.
Validity of AI Insights: With its capacity to process and analyse information on a scale beyond human capability, Grok brings to the table a depth of analysis that matches most human insights. This extensive data processing power ensures that the results are informed and nuanced.
Consistency and Human-Likeness: Our standard survey processing revealed that Grok maintained consistency across responses, displaying characteristics akin to human reasoning. This consistency check underscored the AI's ability to engage with the survey in a manner that closely resembles human thought processes, affirming the validity of its responses.
The factors and behaviours in this report are based primarily on ten well-known principles of strategy and tactics. In effect, these principles describe what people do (or will do) to get what they want.
As well as the basic ten precepts, two further factors are added. These factors ‘Set Priorities’ and ‘Evaluate Results’, serve to put these action principles into context for Robert.
Robert consciously thinks ahead to Set Priorities in what she considers to be the right order. She considers her priorities to be realistic and within her capabilities, and she works to meet her deadlines.
Robert shows a strong inclination to Pursue Objectives, and she does so with single-minded determination. She chooses her objectives quite purposefully, and with some determination she directs actions and resources toward achieving them.
Robert sees herself as a fairly self-reliant person, and she likes to think and act independently from group activities. Although she doesn’t always want or need to Collaborate, she also recognises the value in collective strength and can work in well with others if needed.
She puts a fair amount of her energy and effort into her activities, and has the capacity to push work through and overcome obstacles. She has a moderately strong inclination to Concentrate Force to get things done the hard way - if necessary.
Robert tends to look for easier ways to Economise Effort, get results and extract value from the use of her time. She seeks help and (if appropriate to her role) will probably delegate if possible. She usually takes the line of least resistance to resolve issues.
She takes affirmative action with little or no thought given to the possibility of failure. Robert is able to - and does - Act Assertively and confront conflict. She’s very capable of bringing issues to a head and less forceful people will almost always be converted to her viewpoint or convinced to move out of the way.
To some extent Robert doesn’t Use Surprise to exploit people or situations, and she often prefers to act fairly openly. But - under the right conditions - she can seek out, create or take those opportunities to move and act quickly.
When we look at Robert’s predisposition to Operate Securely we see a potential to be left open to the uncertainty in future activities. This will be offset by her desire to minimise risk and keep control over certain resources, depending on the circumstances.
Moving on to Robert’s inclination to Manage Morale, it’s apparent that she contributes to a reasonable degree to the feelings of success and wellbeing in the group, team or organisation. Usually calm and in good spirits, she can show concern for morale, and she supports and encourages others.
Robert is moderately inclined to Administer things. On balance she’s generally less likely to put effort into getting organised before starting anything and she may also resist being organised by others. However, when it’s appropriate she does have the capacity to coordinate and be systematic.
Robert contributes to group consistency and stability but rather than choosing to Be Flexible, she’s strongly inclined to focus her effort on sticking with the things she’s already committed herself to.
Lastly, when the time comes to Evaluate Results Robert indicates that she often makes a valuable contribution, and usually seeks to sustain her performance at a good standard. She sees that results come from effective self-management and positive action.

Summarise Robert's profile in light of real-life anecdotes and examples that correlate to the result
Robert Kiyosaki's profile, as interpreted through the lens of this survey, paints a picture of a man deeply committed to setting priorities and pursuing objectives with a clear, strategic vision. His teachings in "Rich Dad Poor Dad" emphasise the importance of financial education and planning, where setting priorities isn't just about financial goals but about life goals that align with one's financial strategy. His strong preference for these behaviours is evident in his recounting of how he chose to invest in real estate over traditional employment, prioritising assets over liabilities as a pathway to wealth.
Kiyosaki's drive to pursue objectives can be seen in his personal narrative of leaving a well-paid job to start his own business, showcasing his relentless pursuit of his vision for financial independence. His seminars and books repeatedly highlight the need to set clear objectives, whether it's buying a business or investing in real estate, and then to follow through with a steadfast approach. His life story of facing numerous failures but continuing to pursue his financial goals underscores this observed preference.
Regarding the evaluation of results, Kiyosaki's approach is balanced; he advocates for continuous learning from both successes and failures. His own experiences, like his venture into the nylon wallet business which failed, and subsequent investments in education and real estate, illustrate how he reflects on results to refine his strategies. His discussions on how he learned from his mistakes, such as the failure of his initial ventures, show his commitment to using outcomes as a learning tool rather than just a measure of success or failure.
However, his preference for flexibility appears less pronounced. While he does discuss adapting to market changes, his core principles like "pay yourself first" and "mind your own business" remain steadfast, suggesting a more principled rather than adaptable approach in his teachings. This might be seen in his consistent advocacy for certain investment vehicles like real estate, which he champions regardless of market fluctuations, indicating a preference for proven strategies over frequent pivots.
In summary, Robert Kiyosaki's public persona and educational material reflect a strong inclination towards establishing clear priorities, relentlessly pursuing set objectives, and using the evaluation of results as a means to refine, rather than redefine, his strategies. His life and teachings demonstrate a balance between the need for aggressive goal pursuit and the practical assessment of outcomes to ensure ongoing success in his vision of financial education.
