Your Personalized Strengths Insights
What makes you stand out?
Chances are good that you approach work and life in a very practical manner. Your realistic and
commonsensical style allows you to make progress. You leave little room for fanciful thinking. You
probably recognize that the unrestrained imaginations of others slow you down. Because of your
strengths, you naturally are aware of the way things really are. You emphasize facts and point others
in the direction of truth. You wake up those who are deluded — that is, easily misled, deceived, or
tricked. Your honest, direct, and plainspoken approach cuts through individuals’ delusions so they see
things clearly. Your matter-of-fact style helps people identify common ground. In the process,
consensus — that is, complete agreement — becomes possible. Instinctively, you may be practical or
realistic as you process ideas. Perhaps you think sequentially. You might appreciate projects that
have simple steps or defined starting and stopping points. Sometimes you test your ideas with
specialists who might be able to confirm their accuracy or usefulness. It’s very likely that you
characteristically look for practical explanations to inform your thinking. Armed with this information,
you can treat people, groups, programs, or budgets equally. Driven by your talents, you adopted a
practical outlook on life during childhood. You figured out how to avoid “rocking the boat” — that is,
how not to cause trouble or disrupt an otherwise stable situation. This was true in your relationships
with not only children, but also adults. Today, you have a knack for treating everyone the same. You
want the environment and everyone in it, including yourself, to behave in a predictable, calm, and
cordial manner.

things thoroughly before speaking or acting. By nature, you tend to be businesslike in your approach
to personal and professional issues. Instinctively, you may exercise good judgment or demonstrate
common sense when congratulating someone. Your comments might be sparing. However, some of
them might carry weight. Certain people might value your compliments. Perhaps particular individuals
grow personally or professionally because you call attention to their specific moments of excellence.
To some extent, they understand that any recognition you give them is hard won. Chances are good
that you may be selective about how much you reveal to particular individuals about your history,
future intentions, or current affairs. Maybe you are less inclined than some people to launch into
chitchat or discussions. Why? You realize you might be asked or expected to answer some personal
questions. It’s very likely that you may remain silent rather than join conversations that involve the
sharing of intimate or personal information. Occasionally you try to change the topic altogether. If your
attempts are unsuccessful, you might excuse yourself from discussions about the upbringing,

periodically institute procedures and establish rules that help certain groups of people manage the

4. Your Personalized Strengths Insights
What makes you stand out?

the abilities needed to solve problems, implement changes, or launch initiatives. You might prevent
people from losing confidence in themselves. Instinctively, you notice that people heed your demands.
What you say and how you say it can even frighten and threaten people. You probably have used this
effect to influence individuals to do what you want. Driven by your talents, you may toughen up or
fortify certain individuals by telling them how much you value their contributions, talents, knowledge,
or skills. It’s very likely that you sometimes enliven or stop conversations with your thought-provoking
statements, unusual viewpoints, jarring questions, pointed demands, or candid opinions. Sometimes
you deftly play the devil’s advocate — that is, take the opposing view. Once in a while, you force
people to think philosophically about the meaning of good, evil, truth, justice, or happiness. Because
of your strengths, you earnestly apply yourself to seeing things as they really are. You bring a
practical, matter-of-fact, and unsentimental outlook to various discussions, projects, or planning
