Who do you think you are?
My company wanted to get to know me. That is to say, my company as an entity. So They asked me some very stange questions and provided me with the following summary - what do you reckon? Accurate?
Restorative
Instinctively, you characteristically notice how people are distinct from one another. These
insights automatically prompt you to find ways to work better with them. You are apt to
discover how you can partner with others in the group. Driven by your talents, you frequently
put your talents, knowledge, and skills to the test by comparing your scores, results, or
rankings with those of your rivals. You naturally look for opportunities to enhance your
chances of victory. Because of your strengths, you frequently think about ways you can to do
a better job of underscoring the good things people do. You intentionally downplay the bad
habits, mistakes, or shortcomings of others. You prefer to help individuals realize what they
have done accurately, properly, brilliantly, or right. Chances are good that you are mentally
quick and highly resourceful. You constantly consider how you can upgrade all sorts of
things in your personal or professional life. You eagerly seek and find opportunities to better
yourself. By nature, you frequently identify parts of your life you want to change for the
better. You also seek ways to upgrade things. You feel renewed mentally, physically, and
emotionally each time you turn around a situation with your innovative thinking.
Input
It’s very likely that you enjoy reading, but you refrain from accepting information on its face
value - that is, its seeming worth or truth. Typically you examine ideas, suggestions, or facts
from a variety of angles. Only then do you judge what is worth filing away, taking notes on,
or remembering for later reference. Chances are good that you read to stimulate your mind, to
broaden your perspective, and to explore familiar as well as unfamiliar subjects. Reading is a
solitary activity, which is one of the reasons why you like it so much. You are quite
comfortable being alone with your books and your thoughts. By nature, you believe you make
great strides mentally when you have opportunities to exchange ideas, theories, or concepts
with intelligent people. You delight in accumulating unusual insights. Often you expand on
these thoughts. You probably are eager to test them during conversations with other
intelligent individuals. This is one way you broaden your knowledge base. Because of your
strengths, you are devoted to reading books, publications, or correspondence that uses many
of the sophisticated, difficult-to-understand, or technical words you know. You have
discovered that your vocabulary is a linguistic powerhouse. The ease with which you insert
these terms into everyday speech or writing places you in a dominant position in others’
minds. These words give you an air of authority that compels people to do what you say or
accept your views. Driven by your talents, you continually sharpen your methods for adding
new words to your everyday vocabulary as well as your academic or professional vocabulary.
You frequently use sophisticated terminology to make sure people who are well-educated
about a topic or an issue really listen to what you say.
Intellection
Instinctively, you need uninterrupted quiet time to be alone with your thoughts. Seldom do
you automatically accept all the ideas of someone who has authored a book, been interviewed
by the media, or been invited to address an audience. Instead, you scrutinize the theories and
concepts of writers, speakers, and philosophers. You probably are a critical thinker. By
nature, you have a rich vocabulary upon which to draw. The words you choose often expand
and challenge your listeners’ or readers’ thinking. Because of your strengths, you pay close
attention to current events. Numerous people merely recount what they heard, saw, or read.
Typically you dive deeper into the topic. You are likely to generate theories, concepts, or
philosophies to explain the reasoning behind newsmakers’ decisions. You routinely gather
information about events, policy statements, people, or crises. Your fresh insights are likely
to draw equally engaged thinkers into the conversation. Chances are good that you engage
others in conversation about the meaning of life. You discuss subjects beyond the
understanding of the average mind. You afford individuals an opportunity to be creative,
study, reflect, speculate, or tell stories. These activities stimulate your thinking. Undoubtedly,
you prefer to spend time with intelligent people who can understand what you are saying.
Driven by your talents, you gravitate to conversations in which intelligent, unemotional, and
reasonable thoughts are freely exchanged. These give-and-take sessions inspire you to
consider what you need to upgrade, perfect, or raise to excellence.
Connectedness
Instinctively, you may enjoy the company of people who have faced and conquered some of
life’s difficulties. Perhaps they have gained wisdom you lack. Occasionally you benefit from
their philosophical insights. Because of your strengths, you occasionally are curious about
people’s diverse philosophies of life. Maybe you search for ideas that link one person’s
fundamental truths with another person’s core values. Perhaps you realize human beings are
linked to one another regardless of their age, language, education, socio-economic status,
nationality, race, religion, or culture. By nature, you have no doubts about being linked in
some way with everything in the universe. This includes all creation and all humankind.
Driven by your talents, you consider people more important than things. The value you place
on humankind guides your decision-making. It also influences what you say and do as well as
what you choose not to say and do. Chances are good that you may be guided by the notion
that no one can live life without some help from others. Perhaps this idea compels you to
consider how what you do and say affects people you know and individuals you will never
meet.
Ideation
By nature, you occasionally contribute more innovative ideas to group discussions than some
people do. You may help strangers, newcomers, or outsiders feel they can share their
thoughts. You might welcome their ideas. Why? They may stimulate everyone’s thinking,
including your own. Because of your strengths, you automatically think of new and different
ways to do things. Your mind is brimming with ideas. You probably are eager to share them
with whoever will listen. Driven by your talents, you favor conversations where information,
facts, or data are considered objectively - that is, emotions do not distort the truth. You pose
questions, evaluate answers, and figure out how things work. Reducing an idea, theory, or
process to its most basic parts provides you with many insights. You are likely to archive -
that is, preserve - your discoveries so you can use them later. It’s very likely that you might
generate certain types of ideas quickly. Occasionally you draw links between facts, events,
people, problems, or solutions. You may present numerous options for consideration. Perhaps
your innovative thinking fosters ongoing dialogue between and among associates, committee
members, teammates, or classmates. Chances are good that you sometimes feel comfortable
sharing your original ideas with groups. Perhaps they welcome your innovations. Maybe they
realize you suggest novel ways of doing things they would never have considered.
