YOUR PERSONALIZED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS

What makes you stand out?

Chances are good that you select the right combination of words to convey your ideas or feelings. In the
middle of discussions, your vocabulary provides you with precise phrases and terminology. You probably
express yourself with ease and grace. It’s very likely that you pay close attention to what is going on
around you. You listen. You quiz people. You read. You probably take notes on key points. As you
accumulate lots of information, you disregard what is unrelated, and pay heed to what is really important.
The more you reflect on what you know, the more problems begin to reveal themselves, and eventually
solutions start taking shape in your mind. Finally, given the situation, you select the best plan from your list
of options. By nature, you generate ideas quickly. You draw clever linkages between facts, events, people,
problems, or solutions. You present others with numerous options at a pace some find dizzying. Your
innovative thinking tends to foster ongoing dialogue between and among the group’s participants.
Instinctively, you notice that the right word usually pops into your mind exactly when you need it. Your
comfort with language makes the oral or written expression of your ideas or feelings appear almost
effortless. Others benefit from your ability to transmit information, thoughts, or emotions by using a
vocabulary they can easily understand. Driven by your talents, you long to know more so you remain on
the cutting edge of your field or areas of interest. Your inventive mind usually generates more possibilities
than you can handle or fund. Nonetheless, you are committed to acquiring knowledge and/or skills. You
study everything involved in a situation and conceive entirely new ways of seeing or doing things. What you
already know prompts you to ask questions and delve even deeper into a subject or problem.

individuals welcome your suggestions. By nature, you enjoy reading, but you refrain from accepting

notes on, or remembering for later reference. Driven by your talents, you automatically search for new or

YOUR PERSONALIZED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS

What makes you stand out?

Instinctively, you probably have surprised yourself and others on a number of occasions by referring to a
relatively obscure fact or insight you found in a book. You are delighted when something you filed away in
your memory or documented expands your own as well as your colleagues’ thinking. Frequently you bring
to conversations the major thoughts of writers, researchers, historians, policymakers, common folks, or
prestigious leaders. Reading is apt to be your ticket of admission to some very interesting discussions.
Because of your strengths, you tend to read several books or publications at the same time. Without
confusing yourself, you can peruse — that is, studiously examine — one for a while, then put it down, pick
up another, and continue reading where you left off the last time. Your need to gather lots of information
probably explains your capacity for juggling a variety of topics, plots, and authors in the same time span.
Driven by your talents, you typically read books, journals, blogs or websites because you enjoy collecting
new information and insights. Frequently you draw on what you read weeks, months or even years ago to
outmaneuver individuals whose performance is apt to be compared to yours. Chances are good that you
often find yourself contemplating your obligations. Your promises to others are of paramount importance to
you. Thorough by nature, you carefully consider what you need to do. As a result, you can be relied upon
to explore many angles before acting. By nature, you crave information, so reading is a pleasurable activity
for you. It is not a burden. You accumulate new ideas from books, publications, documents, or
correspondence. Few things delight you as much as being able to talk with others about your latest
discoveries. Listeners’ questions and comments probably pique — that is, excite or inspire — your
curiosity. This motivates you to read even more.
