It’s very likely that you may be the person to whom group members turn for original thoughts. Perhaps

ideas pop into your consciousness as soon as someone describes a problem or an opportunity. Because of

your strengths, you tune in to people and work out what they are saying and thinking about you. You are

acutely aware of how individuals regard you. You probably curry — that is, try to win — the favour of some

and seek to impress others. Chances are good that you might welcome opportunities to exchange new

theories, innovative thoughts or intriguing concepts. Sometimes the original thinking of individuals

stimulates your creativity. Driven by your talents, you sometimes feel comfortable sharing your original

ideas with groups. Perhaps they welcome your innovations. Maybe they realise you suggest novel ways of

doing things they would never have considered. Instinctively, you sometimes have more innovative ideas

What makes you stand out?

It’s very likely that you sometimes feel comfortable being open and honest about who you are. Maybe you

Instinctively, you occasionally uncover how and why certain things happen as they do. You might share

these discoveries with colleagues, teammates or friends. Perhaps you streamline your explanations,

covering only the essential facts. Some listeners may appreciate receiving less detail so the main points

processes, theories or rules. Maybe you intentionally use easy-to-understand words and phrases. It’s very

By nature, you may be earnest, solemn or businesslike when circumstances require socially correct

behaviour. Perhaps you thoroughly study certain things before making decisions, designing plans or taking

action. Because of your strengths, you may approach certain win-lose situations in a practical and realistic

manner. When you are intent on being victorious, perhaps you extinguish any sentimental feelings you

might have toward your rivals. Chances are good that you enjoy finding recurring sequences in numerical

data. Numbers tell you stories about emerging trends, potential problems, profit and loss forecasts or

information gaps. People probably marvel at your ability to process the numbers and decide what they

mean.

YOUR PERSONALISED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS

What makes you stand out?

Instinctively, you might be a guide for certain types of people. Perhaps you are interested in finding better

make more progress when they pinpoint something they do poorly, then concentrate on fixing it. You hint

that this approach has sometimes worked well for you. By nature, you may be determined to be the best,

“number one,” or the champion. Maybe you have mentors and coaches who tell you what you need to do

better, even when their messages are somewhat painful to hear. Now and then, you devise ways to

overcome deficiencies that prevent you from finishing in first place. Because of your strengths, you now

and then consider new ways to help people recognise and enjoy their accomplishments. Perhaps you

ponder how you could do a better job of encouraging particular individuals to excel. Driven by your talents,

you may create opportunities to spend time thinking with forward-looking people. You might rely on their

vivid imaginations to help you work out how to fix things in your personal or professional life. Chances are

things better the next time.
