YOUR PERSONALIZED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS

What makes you stand out?
Its very likely that you are apt to feel good about life the moment you can sit down and read. For you,
the acquisition of information is a basic need. Probably for you, following the twists and turns of a wellcrafted plot populated with interesting characters is a form of relaxation. Driven by your talents, you
value education and scholarship at any level and at any age. Your thirst for knowledge causes you to
explore many topics of study or specialize in one particular subject. You thoroughly enjoy
opportunities to acquire additional information, skills, and experiences. Chances are good that you
regularly find a quiet place to be alone so you can clarify your plans, theories, questions, or solutions.
Once you know what you think, you can launch discussions. In addition, you can elaborate on your
ideas when it is necessary to do so. Being deprived of preparation time puts you at a disadvantage.
On these occasions, you say as little as possible and hope someone else gets people talking.
Because of your strengths, you are determined to keep abreast of the news. You probably satisfy your
hunger for current information by habitually reading newspapers, magazines, correspondence,
memos, files, or Internet sites. Instinctively, you traditionally want to think with visionaries. You are
quite comfortable with long stretches of silence. Why? Quiet allows you and the others to mull over
theories or create inventions that can alter the course of history or change the way ordinary people
live.

Learner
SHARED THEME DESCRIPTION
People who are especially talented in the Learner theme have a great desire to learn and want to
continuously improve. In particular, the process of learning, rather than the outcome, excites them.

YOUR PERSONALIZED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS

What makes you stand out?
Chances are good that you may prefer to be an individual performer, especially when you can direct
your mental or physical energies to tasks that intrigue you. Its very likely that you occasionally center
your efforts on making improvements you decide are intriguing or relevant to your life. Maybe you
need to feel passionate about these opportunities. Why? You might want to devote time and energy to
acquiring the knowledge and/or skills you sense you lack. To some degree, this explains why you
periodically force yourself to address specific shortcomings. By nature, you feel really upbeat about
life when your desire to acquire knowledge or skills is regularly satisfied. This means you grow
increasingly unhappy with a job or assignment that fails to challenge your mind. Being forced to do the
same thing day after day can be depressing. Even when individuals in positions of authority
repeatedly reward you and tell you how much they value your performance, you eventually have
much difficulty disguising your dissatisfaction. Because of your strengths, you are motivated to
continually acquire knowledge and skills. Discovering new ways to use your talents energizes you.
You are likely to escape from situations and avoid people who want you to keep doing what you
already know how to do well. Maintaining an intellectual status quo is unacceptable to you.
Instinctively, you acquire knowledge more easily when you can talk with others about ideas, concepts,
or theories. Thoughts come alive for you when questions are posed and answers are proposed. You
have a delightful time thinking out loud and listening to intelligent people express themselves. You
naturally document or store in your mind bits and pieces of discussions. You want to refer back to
these insights or facts whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Competition
SHARED THEME DESCRIPTION
People who are especially talented in the Competition theme measure their progress against the
performance of others. They strive to win first place and revel in contests.

YOUR PERSONALIZED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS

What makes you stand out?
Because of your strengths, you regularly set up rivalries between yourself and others. Your takecharge style ordinarily allows you to create opportunities where you can vie for the top prize or
championship title. Instinctively, you set very high expectations for yourself. Typically you push
yourself until you reach your goals. You are not content unless you deliver the best performance or
produce the most outstanding results. By nature, you occasionally set out to be number one when

comparisons are being made or scores are being kept. Perhaps you derive very little satisfaction from
finishing in second or third place. Simply ranking among the top performers may actually be a source
of displeasure. Chances are good that you sometimes want to finish first or receive the top prize. In
some cases, you might do everything you possibly can to be named the very best or the champion.
Driven by your talents, you do things with great precision. Your need for accuracy is usually
heightened the moment you realize your results are being compared to everyone elses. When scores
or rankings are assigned, you become a lot more determined to be number one.

Analytical
SHARED THEME DESCRIPTION
People who are especially talented in the Analytical theme search for reasons and causes. They have
the ability to think about all the factors that might affect a situation.

YOUR PERSONALIZED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS

What makes you stand out?
By nature, you intentionally examine all aspects of problems, difficulties, or obstacles. You are quite
comfortable when you have ample time to thoroughly study the facts. Afterward, you are sure to feel
prepared to draw conclusions, answer questions, propose solutions, or design plans. Chances are
good that you may be regarded by certain people as realistic or unsentimental. Perhaps there are
times when you want to do a better job of expressing your own feelings or allowing others to voice
some of theirs. When necessary, you might be the person who brings the conversation back to
practical or factual matters. Instinctively, you intentionally acquire knowledge in areas that are foreign
to you. As long as your studies contain rational and reasonable information, you are likely to delve into
them. Driven by your talents, you earnestly evaluate problems by identifying the basics facts. You
normally let reason rather than emotion guide you to the proper solution or the correct conclusion. Its
very likely that you are determined to produce flawless results. This explains why you take time to
understand how events, data, or bits of knowledge interrelate. Your results are apt to be more precise
when you reason things through to an objective conclusion.

Ideation
SHARED THEME DESCRIPTION
People who are especially talented in the Ideation theme are fascinated by ideas. They are able to
find connections between seemingly disparate phenomena.

YOUR PERSONALIZED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS

What makes you stand out?
Driven by your talents, you may have a knack for generating innovative ideas for certain types of
projects. Perhaps you are attracted to endeavors in which things need to be made better or upgraded.
Its very likely that you may like to work on things by yourself. When you can concentrate on your own
tasks, assignments, or projects, you might conceive some original ways to approach your work or
studies. Instinctively, you regard yourself as logical and reasonable. You spontaneously reduce
mechanisms, processes, proposals, ideas, or formulas to their basic parts. You figure out how the
pieces interrelate. Your discoveries tell you why something does or does not function the way it
should. Chances are good that you occasionally feel a need to update, upgrade, or renovate. Perhaps
few things please you more than devising original tactics, inventing new processes, designing useful
tools, or proposing innovative solutions. Because of your strengths, you are sometimes aware of the
opinions people have of you. Maybe you know when individuals approve or disapprove of your
contributions, accomplishments, talents, shortcomings, words, or deeds.
