3. Maximizer
Shared Theme Description
People who are especially talented in the Maximizer theme focus on strengths as a way to stimulate
personal and group excellence. They seek to transform something strong into something superb.
Your Personalized Strengths Insights
What makes you stand out?
It’s very likely that you are quite determined to enhance your talents rather than waste time worrying
about your limitations. You often experience bursts of rapid growth each time you can use your
talents, knowledge, and/or skills. Driven by your talents, you instinctively recognize that you grow and
benefit when you emphasize your strong points. This explains why you routinely seek the company of
people who value your unique gifts. Instinctively, you are aware of what you do naturally and well. You
prefer to leverage your talents rather than spend time trying to overcome your shortcomings. You
expect excellence from yourself and others. Being average at best and mediocre at worst is
unacceptable to you. Chances are good that you take full advantage of your talents. This is how you
move toward your goals. By nature, you select projects, assignments, or tasks that allow you to use
your talents to produce outcomes. You actively seek opportunities to work independently. You
probably realize you make a lot more progress when you are allowed to work alone.

4. Deliberative
Shared Theme Description
People who are especially talented in the Deliberative theme are best described by the serious care
they take in making decisions or choices. They anticipate the obstacles.
Your Personalized Strengths Insights
What makes you stand out?
Driven by your talents, you are a reserved individual. You usually keep personal matters to yourself.
This is apt to explain why you are much more comfortable launching projects than you are talking
about your experiences and accomplishments. Instinctively, you may prefer to have a small circle of
close friends with whom you feel safe sharing just about anything. By nature, you work diligently to
separate your private life from your public life. You are a person with a reputation for being discreet —
that is, careful about what you say. You intentionally avoid discussing your personal problems,
successes, finances, work, or history. Because of your strengths, you genuinely enjoy working as an
individual performer. This preference aligns with your reserved nature. You probably are known for
your discreetness — that is, your ability to keep silent and preserve confidences when necessary.
Chances are good that you are rather reserved. Your preference for privacy means you work or study
alone. Observant individuals soon realize you dislike being interrupted when you have to meet a
deadline to reach a goal.

be “now” people who take things as they come and discover the future one day at a time.
Your Personalized Strengths Insights
What makes you stand out?
By nature, you periodically exhibit the flexibility to adjust your day’s priorities as circumstances
change. Chances are good that you labor tirelessly on whatever needs to be accomplished today.
You likely are willing to change your plans when the people around you change theirs. You ordinarily
remain quite calm when others reverse their decisions, modify their schedules, or cancel their
appointments. Instinctively, you are quite comfortable letting the day’s events and people’s demands
determine what really deserves your attention. Because of your strengths, you realize that each day
offers its own surprises. You trust you can handle whatever occurs. Even when you do not know
exactly what to do, you probably know someone who does. You have an uncanny ability to easily and
cooperatively proceed in the direction in which other people and processes are moving. It’s very likely
that you sometimes are particularly aware that possibility thinkers fuel your imagination. They might
convince you that you can put action to their dreams for the coming months, years, or decades.

Chances are good that you may want to be regarded by certain people as reliable or dependable. To
create this impression, perhaps you consider specific things you could do better, more completely, or
more perfectly in the future. Because of your strengths, you conduct yourself in a proper, ethical,
legal, and upright manner to avoid feeling you have done something wrong. You truly regret making a
mistake, violating a rule, breaking a trust, or producing poor results. You set high standards for
yourself in various areas of your life. By nature, you consistently work at assignments and chores to
their conclusion. People have confidence that you will see whatever you do through to the very end.
Instinctively, you may strive to do tasks correctly the first time. It makes no sense to you to quickly do
an assignment just so you can announce, “I finished first.” Quality probably is one of your top
priorities. Driven by your talents, you do much more than just try to live up to your commitments. You
persist working until you can deliver on your promises. This certainly enhances your reputation for
being trustworthy, reliable, and dependable.
