This document presents the results of a strengths assessment for an individual named Robin Rex. It identifies their top five signature themes: Input, Activator, Learner, Self-Assurance, and Command. Each theme is described in 1-2 paragraphs explaining how it manifests in Robin's behaviors and approach to work and life. The assessment is intended to help Robin understand their natural talents and strengths in order to maximize their potential for success through developing these strengths.
Finding your strengths are very important in maximizing the talents that lead to your successes. Byfocusing on your strengths, separately and in combination, you can identify your talents,build them into strengths, and enjoy personal and career success through consistent, near-perfect
performance.
Many years of research conducted by The Gallup Organization suggest that the most effective people are those who understand their strengths and behaviors. These people are best able to develop strategies to meet and exceed the demands of their daily lives, their careers, and their families.
A review of the knowledge and skills you have acquired can provide a basic sense of your abilities, but an awareness and understanding of your natural talents will provide true insight into the core reasons behind your consistent successes.

Before deciding on a course of action, prudent managers evaluate the situation confronting them. Unfortunately, some managers are cautious to a fault – taking costly steps to defend against unlikely outcomes. Others are overconfident – underestimating the range of potential outcomes. And still, others are highly impressionable – allowing memorable events in the past to dictate their view of what might be possible now.
These are just three of the well-documented psychological traps that afflict most managers at some point, assert authors John S. Hammond, Ralph L. Keeney, and Howard Raiffa in their 1998 article. Still, more pitfalls distort reasoning ability or cater to our own biases. Examples of the latter include the tendencies to stick with the status quo, to look for evidence confirming one’s preferences, and to throw good money after bad because it’s hard to admit making a mistake.
Luckily, techniques exist to overcome each one of these problems. For instance, since the way a problem is posed can influence how you think about it, try to reframe the question in various ways and ask yourself how your thinking might change for each version. Even if we can’t eradicate the distortions ingrained in the way our minds work, we can build tests like this into our decision-making processes to improve the quality of the choices we make.
The way human brain works can sabotage the choices we make. But bad decisions can often be traced back to the point where the decisions were made. The key is how a problem is framed and how to develop the solution.
