Square Pegs are the most pessimistic of segments. With their troubled childhoods, combined with the wrong career choices, they have extremely low scores against work-related values. As the expression goes, they are “square pegs in a round hole.”

​

Square Pegs feel unfulfilled and disconnected at work. Many feel that they don’t contribute to society (potentially because only few work directly with people). Their unhappiness may also stem from not seeing the bigger picture of where they fit in the company, and from neither having control over work-related decisions nor ownership over their work.
