What a Strategist Mii is like
Calm, creative and self-reliant. Does things their own way.
Strategist belongs to the Reserved group (Reserved in Europe), together with Perfectionist, Observer, Thinker. Reserved Miis use the green and teal color palette on their clothes, room and profile card.
In Europe and Australia the same personality is called Patient. Guides that say Patient and guides that say Strategist mean the same thing.
Every slider setting that gives Strategist
The game adds Movement and Speech into one score and Energy and Thinking into another. Strategist needs both scores in the right band, so there are two small tables to check. Pick any pair from the first and any pair from the second.
Movement and Speech
| If Speech is | Movement can be |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1 to 4 |
| 2 | 1 to 3 |
| 3 | 1 to 2 |
| 4 | 1 |
| 5 | none |
| 6 | none |
| 7 | none |
| 8 | none |
Energy and Thinking
| If Thinking is | Energy can be |
|---|---|
| 1 | 5 to 8 |
| 2 | 4 to 7 |
| 3 | 3 to 6 |
| 4 | 2 to 5 |
| 5 | 1 to 3 |
| 6 | 1 to 2 |
| 7 | 1 |
| 8 | none |
Steps are counted 1 to 8 from the left end of each slider. A quick, safe choice is Movement 1, Speech 1, Energy 5, Thinking 1.
What Strategist turns into when you move a slider
Strategist sits in column 1 of 4 and row 2 of 4 on the personality chart (counting from the slow, polite side and from the flat, serious side). Its neighbors are one band away:
- With a higher Movement or Speech: Perfectionist
- With a higher Energy or Thinking: Buddy (Carer)
- With a lower Energy or Thinking: Observer (Introvert)
Speech and Thinking jump by two points between steps 4 and 5, so one click there is the most common reason a Mii lands on a neighbor instead of Strategist.
