3. 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?
It’s very likely that you occasionally adopt a practical, factual, or unemotional position on certain
issues. Maybe you refrain from becoming sentimental about certain people and their problems.
Because of your strengths, you normally exhibit a methodical and rational thinking style. You
determine what you could and should upgrade or improve. Your reasonable approach is apt to have a
calming effect on illogical and emotional people. Driven by your talents, you commonly are sought out
for advice by individuals who appreciate your methodical thinking style. Your approach often prevents
people from being distracted by their own or someone else’s emotions. You probably help them
concentrate on the facts more than on their feelings. Instinctively, you may feel more comfortable
starting your day by assigning a level of importance or urgency to each task on your list. Having a
well-sequenced plan sometimes allows you to move quickly into action. Chances are good that 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.

4. Input
Shared Theme Description
People who are especially talented in the Input theme have a craving to know more. Often they like to
collect and archive all kinds of information.
Your Personalized Strengths Insights
What makes you stand out?
Because of your strengths, you eagerly welcome opportunities to think out loud about ideas, theories,
or philosophies. You derive pleasure from conversations that force you to ponder matters that exist
only in the realm of thought, not in reality. By nature, you put yourself in the middle of mentally
stimulating conversations. You want to gather new ideas, discover new approaches, hear about new
theories, consider new concepts, or apply new technologies. Often you are one of the early
discoverers of innovations. Others can lag behind if they wish, but you consistently acquire
knowledge. You exhibit little need to know precisely where all this information ultimately will lead you.
It’s very likely that you may exhibit a distinctive manner of expression when you speak or write about
certain topics. You attempt to choose words that set you apart from everyone else. You might enjoy
being different, and you might dislike being regarded as only one more face in the crowd. This
partially explains why you enjoy memorizing some difficult-to-understand words and their definitions.
When you use this language, specific people may say you are trustworthy, knowledgeable, and
accomplished. Instinctively, you yearn to know a lot. It makes little sense to you to skim through a
book and read only the highlights. You delve more deeply into intriguing subjects than most people
do. You love to gather all kinds of information. This explains why you take time to grasp ideas that
appear in print. Chances are good that you occasionally appear to be a pragmatist — that is,
someone who spends time on factual matters or practical affairs. You might demand that certain
individuals working with you become fluent in the language of their chosen profession, area of study,
or field of interest. Once in a while, you may express displeasure when you must stop to explain a
subject-specific or technical term that the person should already know.

5. 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?
Instinctively, you might not allow many distractions to interrupt your intense thinking when you are
working on tasks that match your expertise or pique — that is, arouse or excite — your curiosity. By
nature, you may identify the specific traits or experiences that distinguish one person from the next.
When you familiarize yourself with someone, you might be able to predict how the person will react in
different situations. It’s very likely that you may see some value in continuous education. Perhaps this
reflects your interest in particular topics. Sometimes you are fascinated with the process of acquiring
knowledge or skills. Chances are good that you may devote yourself to things that intrigue you.
Sometimes your attention intensifies if you are encouraged to immerse yourself in a specific activity or
topic. Driven by your talents, you may insert intricate or theoretical words into your academic or
professional conversations and writings. Your interest in language partially explains why you enjoy
mastering specific types of words and their definitions. While some individuals are required to
memorize new terms in classes or seminars, perhaps you automatically commit specific words to
memory. Occasionally you describe this experience as pleasurable.

6. Context
Shared Theme Description
People who are especially talented in the Context theme enjoy thinking about the past. They
understand the present by researching its history.
Your Personalized Strengths Insights
What makes you stand out?
Chances are good that you now and then revel — that is, take intense satisfaction — in hearing
historians’ stories or intriguing theories about the past. It’s very likely that you periodically spend time
with people who appreciate history or have become experts on a particular era. Some teachers or
mentors who befriended you might have encouraged your interest in history. As a result, perhaps you
realize that you master facts a bit more easily when the teacher or expert, first and foremost, cares
about you as a human being. Because of your strengths, you occasionally turn to historians for
information about the past. Perhaps you narrow your quest for knowledge to specific topics or eras.
Driven by your talents, you periodically enjoy listening to or talking with scholars of history. Perhaps
you gravitate to specific people. They may share their unique perspectives about historic events or
individuals. Instinctively, you might ask lots of questions when you are meeting someone for the first
time. Your curiosity and interest in someone’s past occasionally helps you put your relationship with
the person into a framework that makes sense.

7. Relator
Shared Theme Description

find deep satisfaction in working hard with friends to achieve a goal.
Your Personalized Strengths Insights
What makes you stand out?
Instinctively, you consistently measure up to your high expectations when working, studying, or
playing. It’s very likely that you may realize that each individual’s interests, background, motivations,
desires, fears, and work style are different. Perhaps you strive to honor everyone’s unique qualities
and preferences. Understanding the ambitions of particular people might give you insights into the
type of support, training, experiences, partnerships, or nurturing each person needs to thrive.
Because of your strengths, you periodically are sought out by people whom you have befriended.
They may trust you when you have taken time to know them individually. This may partially explain
why certain people come back again and again for ideas or suggestions. They might realize you try to
tailor your words of wisdom to fit their unique situations, needs, strengths, limitations, goals, or
personalities. Driven by your talents, you sometimes identify with people who share their ambitions,
hopes, or intentions with you. Chances are good that you may be particularly able to deconstruct
tangled situations. Perhaps you sort through facts to discover the inner workings of intricate
processes, regulations, programs, or action plans. Some people rely on you to reduce complexities to
their basic parts. This partially explains why they trust you to present information in a manner they find
easy to understand.
