Input
Shared Theme Description
People who are especially talented in the Input theme have a craving to know more. Often they like to
collect and archive all kinds of information.
Your Personalized Strengths Insights
What makes you stand out?
It’s very likely that you are a well-read individual. People whom you have befriended turn to you for
guidance. Often you help them see a situation or problem from a different perspective because of
something you discovered while surveying a book, article, letter, or Internet site. For you, reading is
the key that opens the door to a world of fresh ideas. You collect them, never knowing when
something you read will benefit someone else. Instinctively, you occasionally ask questions and
intently listen to the answers of certain people. This behavior might surface when you meet a stranger
or newcomer. Occasionally you eavesdrop on what they are telling someone else. Not wanting
anyone to feel like an outsider, you try to draw individuals into the conversation. This partially explains
why you search for a specific reason to involve them in a few of your own or the group’s activities. By
nature, you may interpret and straightforwardly outline ideas, processes, or projects that some people
have difficulty understanding. Driven by your talents, you might have a particular desire for
knowledge. Perhaps you feel it makes little sense to skim through a book and read only the highlights.
You might want to delve more deeply into intriguing subjects than most people. Maybe you love to
gather all kinds of information. Because of your strengths, you may thirst for new ideas and
knowledge. Sometimes you dive into your reading with abandon. Other times you lose yourself in a
book. Maybe you pore over the thoughts contained in its pages for long stretches of time. Why? You
might want to absorb as much information as you can.
Questions
1. As you read your personalized strengths insights, what words, phrases, or lines stand out to
you?
2. Out of all the talents in this insight, what would you like for others to see most in you?

People who are especially talented in the Restorative theme are adept at dealing with problems. They
are good at figuring out what is wrong and resolving it.
It’s very likely that you now and then desire to “move up” within a company, club, class, or other
organization. To qualify for more important positions, you may acquire specific behaviors, techniques,
skills, knowledge, or experiences. Occasionally you practice doing certain things better. Instinctively,
you might appreciate straightforward people who tell you the truth about yourself and what they think
of you. Sometimes you have the courage to ask for and hear their responses. Perhaps you are
inclined to concentrate your energy on correcting certain problems, making specific upgrades, or
eliminating personal deficiencies. Chances are good that you may have a knack for generating
innovative ideas for certain types of projects. Perhaps you are attracted to endeavors in which things
need to be made better or upgraded. By nature, you sometimes give thought to what you could do in
the coming weeks, months, years, or decades. Perhaps you accomplish more when you have goals.
Simply considering what you might do better may motivate you to excel at certain tasks. You might be
inspired to use some talents more than you have in the past. Because of your strengths, you might
engage in self-improvement activities once you have identified things you need to know more about or
do better. Perhaps you hope to minimize some of your shortcomings.

imagining themselves in others’ lives or others’ situations.
Driven by your talents, you may feel honored when someone you know personally says you are a
friend who is worthy of trust. It’s very likely that you sometimes are aware of certain people’s feelings.
Perhaps this explains why you sometimes let tears stream down your face if you are in the presence
of individuals who are suffering or experiencing joy. You have a gift for feeling the depths of another’s
pain or jubilation. Because of your strengths, you might be aware that certain coworkers benefit from
your approval or compliments. Perhaps you sense when a person needs to hear kind, encouraging, or
supportive words from a colleague. Maybe you enjoy celebrating the contributions, strengths,
discoveries, or victories of some individuals. Chances are good that you may choose to play games
simply to enjoy them. Perhaps you gravitate to people who share this trait. Perhaps you instinctively
notice who is having fun and who is not. These insights might affect how you interact with individuals.
By nature, you may recognize some of the strengths, limitations, likes, dislikes, goals, or fears that
distinguish one human being from another. You might sense the ever-changing moods or thought
patterns of certain individuals. These insights might allow you to adjust your behavior or speech
moment by moment. Perhaps your responses show particular people you care or understand what
they are feeling, thinking, or experiencing.

others. They spot the signs of each small improvement and derive satisfaction from these
improvements.

various individuals. You likely regard this task as worthy of your effort and time. By nature, you inspire
individuals by telling them what they do well. You intentionally look for the good in people. You make

are part of their lives. Because of your strengths, you might be aware of the emotions that individuals
experience when they participate in activities or contests. Perhaps you sense who is likely to have fun
whether they win or lose. Maybe you can predict who will be disappointed by defeat or overjoyed by
victory. Driven by your talents, you occasionally tune in to the moods of specific people. You might
have spent quality time together or shared some experiences. When you make a point of really
knowing someone, it might be easy for you to accurately interpret the person’s emotions in certain
kinds of situations. Instinctively, you occasionally inspire people to try new things or adopt a more
upbeat outlook on life. Perhaps your words and/or your attentiveness bolster the self-esteem of

Instinctively, you derive much joy from assisting people in need. It’s very likely that you periodically
enjoy watching people. In the process, you may discover what makes each individual truly unique or
special. You may be a student of humankind who is curious about the backgrounds and interests of
each person. Driven by your talents, you may notice how people are distinct from one another. These
insights periodically prompt you to find ways to work better with people. Perhaps you even discover
how individuals might partner with a few others in the group. Chances are good that you may have an
ability to watch people or determine with some degree of accuracy what makes one unique, distinct,
or special. Perhaps certain talents, weaknesses, likes, dislikes, moods, or motivations attract your
attention when you observe others’ actions or listen to their words. By nature, you now and then
pause to recognize how people are alike and how they are different. Maybe you know a lot about
each person’s talents, interests, background, dreams, or limitations.
