Approach
Specialists see work as an
extension of themselves.
They are most comfortable
and effective when they
can make a contribution
from an expert or unique
point of view and tend to
work best individually or
independently. People who
spend their lives dedicated
to a cause or research are
often Specialists.
Copy your Interpersonal Style
description:
Extroverts are sociable and
expressive, outwardly
focused, communicate by
talking and thinking out loud,
learn by discussing, and
enjoy group work as a way to
get energized. They tend to
be outgoing, gregarious,
enthusiastic, and social. They
naturally initiate and sustain
interactions that can lead to a
broad range of friends and
interests. Extroverts tend to
respond quickly when you
speak to them because they
process their thoughts out
loud instead of internally.
They seem generally
interested in you while
getting to know you by asking
a range of surface level and

toward a distant goal, but
they may not have specific

twelve months) can be
very helpful in jobs
demanding quick

Extroverts are sociable and
expressive, outwardly
focused, communicate by
talking and thinking out loud,

describes me the most
because in every part of my

very sociable and talkative
and I tend to get along with
everyone.
List a Core Driver:
Fact Checkers are deliberate
in deciding whether
something is true. They rely
on specific information and
observed experience to verify
"what is" before arriving at a
conclusion. Knowing all of
the facts and filling in gaps
are important to them, so
hey understand the
concept and benefits of
working toward a distant
goal, but they may not
have specific plans to get
there. This describes me
the best because I have a
image of what I want my
future life to be but don’t
have a plan of how I could
get there.

Abstract Thinkers are
