When we sought to use AI to explore Molly Bloom'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 Bloom 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 Molly Bloom, 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 Molly.
Molly carefully and consciously thinks ahead to Set Priorities in what she considers to be the right order. She considers her priorities to be realistic and well within her capabilities, and she works to meet her deadlines.
Molly 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.
Molly sees some value in the collective strength of the group, and she can Collaborate, working in easily with others. She establishes reasonably close working relationships, and will share ideas, goals and methods if she sees a good reason to.
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.
Molly 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 often takes action with little thought of failure. Molly is able to Act Assertively and confront conflict. She’s capable of bringing issues to a head and less forceful people can usually be converted to her viewpoint or convinced to move out of the way.
To some extent Molly 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.
She keeps reasonable control over her resources and activities, avoiding unplanned risk where she can. She intends to Operate Securely and wants to remain free from threats and surprises. She leaves little to chance.
Moving on to Molly’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.
As someone who coordinates activities and plans alternative actions (for example to have things at the right place on time), it can be said that Molly has a reasonably strong inclination to Administer things. As such, she keeps records fairly up-to-date, largely avoids waste, and works at creating systematic order and stability.
Molly contributes to group consistency and stability but rather than choosing to Be Flexible, she’s more inclined to focus her effort on sticking with the things she’s already committed herself to.
Lastly, when the time comes to Evaluate Results Molly 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.

How would you summarise these results in light of what you know about Molly?
Molly Bloom exhibits a profound preference for setting priorities, demonstrating her capability to discern what is most crucial in her high-stakes environment. Her inclination towards pursuing objectives suggests a determined focus on achieving her set goals, a trait undoubtedly beneficial in her career. Collaboration is also a notable preference for her, indicating her value in working with others, likely reflected in her networking skills and management of relationships within her events.
Molly shows a moderate preference for concentrating her efforts, suggesting she can apply resources effectively when necessary. She also has a balanced approach to economising effort, showcasing her efficiency in managing resources, which is vital in her line of work. Assertiveness is another area where Molly shows considerable preference, likely stemming from her need to manage high-profile clients and navigate complex legal landscapes.
Her preference for using surprise as a tactic is less pronounced, hinting that while she might incorporate unexpected strategies, it isn't a cornerstone of her approach. She maintains a reasonable preference for operating securely, ensuring both physical and informational safety during her events. Managing morale is another area where her preference is evident, helping to cultivate a positive atmosphere at her games or during challenging times.
Molly's inclination towards administration is present but not as dominant, perhaps indicating that while she manages administrative tasks, they are not her primary focus. Flexibility, however, appears to be her least preferred trait, suggesting she leans more towards a structured, planned approach rather than adapting spontaneously. Finally, her preference for evaluating results shows she assesses outcomes to ensure continuous improvement.
Overall, Molly Bloom's strongest preferences lie in strategic planning and prioritisation, which are key to her success in the high-stakes world of underground poker games.
