Who is The Ranger?
Rangers are reserved, practical, direct and flexible. You value independence and prefer to handle things your own way, in your own time. You're grounded, low-drama and good with real-world problems.
You don't need much social attention or structure. That self-sufficiency is a strength, though others may find you hard to read or too quick to go your own way.
