When we sought to use AI to explore Susie Wiles's Transactions 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 Wiles 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 Susie Wiles, 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.
How we go about making decisions is really important, which is why the first six behaviours in Susie’s Transactions assessment focus on six “qualitative” thought processes.
These decision styles shine a light on Susie’s personal blend of decision modes. Reasoning and logic for example require conscious, critical thought, whereas intuition, assertion, fate and magical thought processes do not (although they too have valid uses).
We then examine five modes of interpersonal communication. Together, these two parts gauge the effectiveness of interpersonal transactions between individuals and in teams.
Lastly we look at Susie’s perception of how effectively she combines rational thinking and productive communication.
Looking firstly at the Reasoning decision process, indications are strong that Susie keeps an open mind and avoids prejudging issues, looking at possibilities and alternative solutions before deciding.
Susie defines a problem first and then gathers and assesses facts with (amongst other decision modes) a heavy emphasis on Logic. She relies on Logic to draw valid conclusions and develops alternative solutions with proof of their correctness.
Susie relies on Intuition, insights, hunches and guesswork to arrive at answers. She has the potential to think creatively and to short-circuit problems, but needs to verify answers logically.
Moving on to Assertion. Susie has a ready answer, and she forms opinions based - quite often - on assumptions, experience, beliefs and values. This behaviour will be useful where prompt answers are needed, but only if Susie is truly familiar with the situation.
Susie shows moderately strong indication that she can go with the flow of events, letting Fate decide as issues run their course and resolve themselves.
Susie places very little credence in the idea that things happen "as if by Magic". She looks behind issues and events to find cause-and-effect relationships, believing there are practical explanations that could be discovered.
Susie tends to keep firm control over others, ensuring that they follow the rules. She can be Judgmental and to a certain extent she uses criticism and disapproval to influence others, which can limit openness.
She puts caring and concern for others ahead of self-interest. A Supportive person, Susie offers well-intended advice and guides people into ’what’s best’. This can be a two-edged sword as it also has the potential to stifle individual responsibility and initiative.
Moderately Objective and detached, Susie remains calm, thinks before responding, and chooses responses to suit each situation. She tends not to get caught up in others’ emotions, and may on occasion be thought indifferent or lacking humour.
Susie keeps her Natural feelings somewhat in check, and doesn’t often allow herself to show enthusiasm, excitement or ’negative’ feelings easily.
When it comes to group pressure, Susie shows very little inclination for being Adaptive. Instead, she thinks and acts independently of such pressures.
The last factor in this report deals with making transactions effective by combining rational thinking with productive communication. The Reasoning and Logic decision processes work well with Objective communicating but, in different environments, other combinations can work well too. What actually works will depend on Susie’s circumstances, as well as the range of learned and creative responses that stream from her personal behavioural archives.
Lastly, on Susie’s perception of how Effective her decisions are, she indicates that she can tend to decide an issue, then hold to it until circumstances force some sort of change. But this is not always the case and under the right conditions she will make and review her balanced and timely decisions in order to stay focused.

Provide examples and anecdotes about Susie to support these results
Susie Wiles exhibits a strong preference for logic over reasoning, often diving straight into the heart of issues with a clear-minded approach that allows her to solve problems efficiently. This was evident when she strategically navigated Trump's 2016 campaign in Florida, where her logical decisions helped secure a critical state victory. Her intuitive grasp of political dynamics also shines through; she often seems to know what will happen next, like when she anticipated shifts in voter sentiment that others overlooked, guiding her political strategies with a keen sense of intuition.
However, her reliance on assertion and directness is notable, though not as dominant as her logical approach. She communicates with a straightforwardness that was apparent when she openly discussed campaign strategies in public forums, ensuring her points were not lost in ambiguity. Her belief in fate or destiny appears less influential in her decision-making, suggesting she prefers to trust in her planning and execution rather than leave outcomes to chance.
While some might describe her as judgmental, this trait is balanced by her supportive nature, especially seen in her mentorship of new political operatives, guiding them through the complexities of campaign management with a blend of critique and encouragement. Her objectivity in analyzing political landscapes helps her maintain an impartial view, which was crucial in her ability to adapt campaign messages to various demographics without bias, showcasing her adaptive qualities, though these are not as pronounced as her logical or intuitive approaches.
Her effectiveness in political environments is undeniable, yet it's her logic and intuition that truly drive her success. Her approach is less about relying on natural talents or magic moments of insight and more about calculated moves, yet she does occasionally adapt her strategies based on emerging trends or situations, indicating a strategic flexibility that, while not the strongest trait, complements her primary methods of operation.
