studying, reading, or researching. The more you know, the more questions you have to ask. Your

step. Chances are good that you are devoted to building your vocabulary. Each time you memorize a
complicated or theoretical word and its meaning, you probably are eager to use it in conversations,
discussions, or presentations. Undoubtedly, your work or studies demand that you continually add
highly technical terms to your vocabulary. Instinctively, you may help your teammates understand
some of the pieces, parts, or steps of elaborate procedures or systems. You might outline how all the
human and material resources are scheduled for distribution. Driven by your talents, you purposely
interject highly technical language into your conversations — language that may be understood by a

opinions carry extra weight. Simply put: Your air of authority causes individuals to take quite seriously

Perhaps your core values explain why you participate in certain social, political, educational, religious,
legal, or environmental activities. Because of your strengths, you may be more industrious when you
are working on projects that you feel are really important. Perhaps your fervor increases when the
outcomes affect the quality of your life. By nature, you are a wordsmith — that is, a person who works
with words. With ease, you collect hard-to-understand terms and their definitions. Whether you can
use these immediately or months later is of no concern. You probably realize your sophisticated
vocabulary is an “open sesame” — that is, words that unfailingly bring about a desired end. You are
likely to speak or write in such a manner that the condition of humankind improves in a meaningful
way. Chances are good that you have no doubts about being linked in some way with everything in
the universe. This includes all creation and all humankind.
