The Approval Seeker Scientist card invites us to consider our need for validation and acceptance from others. Do we base our self-worth on the approval of our peers or authority figures, or do we have a secure sense of self-value? This card prompts us to develop confidence in our abilities and ideas, regardless of outside approval.
