Ideation
Shared Theme Description
People who are especially talented in the Ideation theme are fascinated by ideas. They are able to
find connections between seemingly disparate phenomena.
Your Personalized Strengths Insights
What makes you stand out?
Because of your strengths, you seek opportunities to tell others about facts you know or experiences
you have had. You allow people to broaden your understanding with their original ideas. You have
discovered that “the life of the mind” is a joint effort. You receive from other thinkers as many — and
sometimes even more — insights as you provide them. Thinking with individuals or groups stimulates
your creativity. You realize it makes each day worth living. Chances are good that you recharge your
mind by creating ideas for new projects. This occurs even before you have completed your current
assignment. You are happiest when you can hand off your unfinished work to others. You are like a
surgeon who performs the operation but asks a competent assistant close the patient’s incision. You
have ways of freeing yourself to think about your next project. Driven by your talents, you
automatically think of new and different ways to do things. Your mind is brimming with ideas. You
probably are eager to share them with whoever will listen. It’s very likely that you may be delighted
when you can generate new and innovative ideas for doing certain tasks or projects. Perhaps you
lose enthusiasm or become bored when you are forced to follow standard operating procedures.
Periodically you wonder if you are in the right job or course of study when your creativity is stifled.
Maybe you are frustrated by people who conclude that your inventive suggestions are forms of
criticism or insubordination — that is, refusal to submit to authority. By nature, you often are the
originator of fresh ideas for brand-new campaigns, business ventures, initiatives, or special events.

Adaptability
People who are especially talented in the Adaptability theme prefer to “go with the flow.” They tend to
be “now” people who take things as they come and discover the future one day at a time.
Instinctively, you avoid individuals who work non-stop, never taking a break. You refuse to rush
headlong from one activity to the next. You are quite comfortable dealing with change, surprises, and
unexpected problems. Why? While you appreciate schedules and plans, you recognize when it is
wise to deviate — that is, turn away — from them. It’s very likely that 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. Because of
your strengths, you perform quite well in situations where shifting priorities and changing plans are the
norm. You have a gift for reacting in the moment rather than delaying action. Driven by your talents,
you effortlessly adjust to the shifting challenges of the day. You enjoy variety and change. You are
comfortable allowing each day to unfold on its own terms. You feel little stress when predetermined
timelines must be scrapped. You probably regard rigidly organized plans and routines as barriers
rather than helpful tools. Chances are good that you contend that life consists of many uncertainties.
This explains why you are cautious about guarantees, sure deals, cannot-fail projects, novel
proposals, and money-making schemes. You feel restricted when forced to adhere to someone’s
inflexible plan of action. You prefer to let the future unfold at its own pace.

Connectedness
People who are especially talented in the Connectedness theme have faith in the links between all
things. They believe there are few coincidences and that almost every event has a reason.
Chances are good that you continually seek wisdom from people with whom you have intelligent
conversations. You not only listen but also share your thoughts. In the process, you are likely to move
beyond concrete facts. Your curiosity draws you to speculate — that is, reflect or wonder — about
theories, ideas, or concepts. To keep your mind fresh, you frequently quiz individuals who are equally
fascinated with the intangible and abstract aspects of life. By nature, you might come away refreshed
after conversing with future-oriented thinkers. Maybe you inspire them with your passion for projects
or causes that benefit humanity or the environment. Sometimes you feel restless when your life lacks
great and noble purpose. It’s very likely that you consider people more important than things. The
value you place on humankind guides your decision-making. It also influences what you say and do
as well as what you choose not to say and do. Instinctively, you routinely isolate facts that link ideas,
events, or people. You are especially sensitive to how one person’s optimistic or negative thoughts
can affect the entire human family. This prompts you to pay close attention to what individuals and
groups think and do. Because of your strengths, you sense every event is somehow the consequence
of a series of actions, reactions, or lack of actions. You can accept that which cannot be fully
explained using logic. You say there are no accidents. You are confident that things are linked
together for a purpose that may or may not be revealed to you.

Empathy
People who are especially talented in the Empathy theme can sense the feelings of other people by
imagining themselves in others’ lives or others’ situations.
Chances are good that you trust your intuition. Often it allows you to resolve difficult issues and
unravel perplexing puzzles. It probably enables you to overcome obstacles that block others. Driven
by your talents, you are keenly aware of others’ moods. Your insights can be especially valuable
when you are helping someone develop strength by acquiring a skill, gaining knowledge, or using a
talent. Instinctively, you may feel honored when someone you know personally says you are a friend
who is worthy of trust. By nature, you may be delighted when certain visionaries trust you enough to
share their innovative ideas. Perhaps you sense that they simply need someone to listen as they think
aloud. It’s very likely that you may feel honored when specific individuals trust you enough to share
their innermost thoughts and feelings. Perhaps you understand that the act of listening is both helpful
and healing.

Communication
People who are especially talented in the Communication theme generally find it easy to put their
thoughts into words. They are good conversationalists and presenters.
Instinctively, you are comfortable telling others stories about your personal habits, qualities,
experiences, or background. Your forthcoming nature probably enables others to share their thoughts
and feelings with you. Chances are good that you demonstrate an ease with language. You
effortlessly verbalize your thoughts. You relish the opportunity to share your insights. You derive
pleasure from actively participating in conversations when group members propose ideas, seek
solutions, or debate issues. Driven by your talents, you love to talk with others, especially when you
are in a group exchanging information, ideas, opinions, stories, or jokes. You can spontaneously
share your thoughts and feelings with people. It’s very likely that you might be a magnet for fun.
Occasionally you personify the phrase “the life of the party” — that is, you can make situations
enjoyable, exciting, and interesting. Perhaps you exude energy and enthusiasm. You may welcome
opportunities to create merriment. Perhaps people look forward to being with you or attending your
social gatherings. Because of your strengths, you distinguish the fine points of each person’s
contribution to a conversation. You guide the exchange of information by drawing out the singular
perspectives of everyone involved. You help individuals bring forth their varied, peculiar, eccentric,
quaint, or unusual viewpoints. By honoring the uniqueness of each human being, you enliven many
dialogues.
