Surprisingly, your Signature Themes will not change very much during the course of your life. Personality research reveals that your themes are most unstable when you are a child, but also that once you grow into adulthood your themes remain remarkably consistent. If you have prevalent Empathy at 18, you will have prevalent Empathy at 80. A Strategic teenager will be a Strategic senior. Does this mean that you won't change during the course of your life? No; you surely will change in some respects. Your values, the moral compass that focuses your life, will point you in rather different directions at 20 than it will at 60. Also, your self-awareness will deepen as you grow, making you less defensive about your flaws, and more sophisticated about where and how to apply your Signature Themes. But your essence -- how you feel, think, build relationships -- will remain the same. As your life progresses you more fully develop who you already are.
