Your Personalized Strengths Insights

What makes you stand out?

Because of your strengths, you take in lots of information by reading books, newspapers, magazines,reports, documents, or correspondence. Typically you are eager to discover all the factors that arecontributing to the current state of affairs. By nature, you show some signs of preparing forconversations or discussions by collecting background information. You might set aside at least fivehours of quiet time each week to review what you know. You might use part of this time to expandyour thinking. Maybe new material sends you hunting for additional evidence to support such thingsas a specific theory, concept, or proposal. Driven by your talents, you need uninterrupted quiet time tobe alone with your thoughts. Seldom do you automatically accept all the ideas of someone who hasauthored a book, been interviewed by the media, or been invited to address an audience. Instead, youscrutinize the theories and concepts of writers, speakers, and philosophers. You probably are acritical thinker. It’s very likely that you may gain the advantage by using difficult-to-understand wordsin your speech or writing. To some extent, this forces certain people to ask questions. When theymust depend on you for answers, perhaps you become an authority figure. Possibly much preparationgoes into your examination of the subject prior to these interactions. Because you realize knowledgeis power, you might be inclined to delve into specific topics for the sole purpose of making discoveriesor acquiring new information. Chances are good that you enjoy reading as long as you can savoreach sentence and consider each idea. Your goal is to comprehend everything you read. It makes nosense to you to rush through books, magazine or newspaper articles, Internet sites, or other forms ofwritten material just to say you finished them.
