Rows are your place in your country, columns are your ground after prices. Nothing on the axes is a number.
What this shape is
Your real ground grew and your place in your country rose with it. This is the rarest shape of movement — it usually means your effort met a moving economy at the right angle.
What this shape is not
Climber is not a ranking of people. It names a stretch in which two things moved the same way, and the next stretch can take any shape.

Questions
How is The Climber assigned?
From two numbers alone: how your place in your country's income distribution moved, and how your income moved after prices against the middle of your country. Each lands as gained, held or eased; the pair picks one of nine cells. No model is involved.
Is The Climber a personality type?
No. It names the shape of one stretch of time, not the kind of person you are. A different window, or the next reading, can land anywhere on the grid.
Does the family colour mean better or worse?
No. The three families share one lightness and one strength of colour and differ only in hue, so no family reads louder than another.
