4. Achiever
Executing
People exceptionally talented in the Achiever theme work hard and possess a great deal of stamina. They take
immense satisfaction in being busy and productive
Being an Achiever is why “I get the job done”. I always take the initiative to
find new opportunities and expand partnerships beyond their thresholds.

5. Strategic Thinking
Intellection
People with strong Intellection skills like to exercise the muscles of their brain. This often leads them to develop new
ideas, solve problems, or understand other’s feelings. They can serve as a sounding board that helps others “stretch”
to discover new ways to enhance the quality of their work.
My Intellectual Skills give me an edge during customer orientations, delivering
value and opening communication in partnerships. I leverage this skill during
negotiations to overcome objections.

6. Futuristic
Strategic Thinking
People exceptionally talented in the futuristic theme are inspired by the future and what could be. They energize
themselves with the visions of the future.
Being Futuristic guides me to see a broader picture in future possibilities and
allows me to strive for them. My tenacious dedication motivates others to new
heights and delivers more value to my customers.

7. Relationship Building
Relator
People especially strong in Relator talents form solid, genuine, and mutually rewarding relationships.
I pride myself on my Relator talent. I have exceptional skills in this field which includes
Communication and sincere acknowledgement. Through my consistent follow up and
persuasive sales abilities, I can often surpass negotiation in closing a deal.

8. Learner
Strategic Thinking
People exceptionally talented in the Learner theme have a great desire to learn and want to continuously improve.
The process of learning is as important to them as the knowledge they gain, intuitively knowing how they learn best
and the resources to get there.
I use this skill daily as a researcher. I strongly believe that knowledge is
power. I utilize my resources and effectively plan and organize, making me
indispensable to my customers and my team.
