When we sought to use AI to explore Brooke Rollins'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 Rollins 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 Brooke Rollins, 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 Brooke’s Transactions assessment focus on six “qualitative” thought processes.
These decision styles shine a light on Brooke’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 Brooke’s perception of how effectively she combines rational thinking and productive communication.
Looking firstly at the Reasoning decision process, indications are strong that Brooke keeps an open mind and avoids prejudging issues, looking at possibilities and alternative solutions before deciding.
Brooke defines a problem first and then gathers and assesses facts with (amongst other decision modes) a strong emphasis on Logic. She draws valid conclusions and develops alternative solutions with proof of their correctness.
Brooke uses 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. Brooke has a ready answer, and she readily forms opinions based on assumptions, experience, beliefs and values. This behaviour will be useful where prompt answers are needed, but only if Brooke is truly familiar with the situation.
Where matters of Fate are concerned, Brooke shows almost no preference for this decision mode. Instead she prefers to take action to influence the train of events, and to seek answers to questions.
Brooke shows a very clear indication that she goes with the flow of events, letting Fate decide as issues run their course and resolve themselves.
Brooke 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, Brooke 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, Brooke 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.
Brooke 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, Brooke shows some inclination for being Adaptive to such pressures. But if the situation calls for it she will work to fit into the group.
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 Brooke’s circumstances, as well as the range of learned and creative responses that stream from her personal behavioural archives.
Lastly, when exploring how Effective Brooke rates her decision making, the result shows that she usually makes balanced and timely decisions that lead to wanted results. She also reviews and revises her decisions to keep on chosen path.

Provide anecdotes and examples about Brooke to support the result
Here are three instances from publicly known information:
Policy Influence: Brooke Rollins was instrumental in the passage of the First Step Act, a piece of criminal justice reform legislation signed into law by President Trump in December 2018. Her involvement in encouraging this bipartisan effort showcases her ability to navigate complex policy landscapes towards effective legislative outcomes.
Leadership in Trump Administration: Rollins replaced Reed Cordish as Trump's assistant to the president for intergovernmental and technology initiatives in February 2018, indicating her recognition for a logical and assertive approach to policy development within the administration.
Think Tank Leadership: Before joining the Trump administration, Rollins was the president and CEO of the Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF) for 15 years. During her tenure, she transformed TPPF from a small organization into a significant conservative think tank, which highlights her effective leadership and strategic planning. This growth was not just in size but in influence, as TPPF became known for its free-market public policy research.
