winning them over. They derive satisfaction from breaking the ice and making a connection with
another person.
YOUR PERSONALIZED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS
What makes you stand out?
Instinctively, you enjoy befriending newcomers. This explains why you regularly step forward to
introduce yourself to new classmates, coworkers, teammates, or friends of your family. You usually
ask questions that are guaranteed to stimulate discussions with people you are meeting for the first
time. It’s very likely that you characteristically are friendly, cheerful, and talkative. This explains why
you ask questions and give compliments. You are quite fascinated with each person’s unique talents
and other traits. You undoubtedly are talkative in social situations and have a good time circulating
from group to group. You feel wonderful about life when people appreciate your unreserved,
gregarious, and friendly nature. By nature, you demonstrate a natural fondness for human beings. As
a result, many individuals are attracted to you. They sense you really understand what they are
feeling, thinking, or experiencing at the moment. People usually appreciate your willingness not to
discount or belittle their emotions, ideas, or reactions to events. Because of your strengths, you
genuinely like to help people overcome obstacles that prevent them from linking up with one another.
This explains why you engage so many newcomers or outsiders in small talk as well as serious
discussions.
HIGHLIGHTS
In social situations, you take responsibility for helping put reserved people at ease.
Your Woo talents give you the ability to quicken the pulse of your surroundings. Recognize the power
of your presence and how you open doors for an exchange of ideas. By simply starting conversations
that engage others and bring talented people together, you take performance up a notch — or several.

will remember the event. Whenever possible, you are the first people others meet. Your charm and
capacity for meeting and greeting new people helps to engage others and quickly put them at ease.

3. 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?
Because of your strengths, you probably started asking people questions as a child and continue to do
so today. Others quickly notice you are genuinely interested in what they say. Your inquiries turn tense
frowns into relaxed smiles. The warmth of your presence can transform a timid person into a talkative
one. You intentionally offer compliments. Few things delight you as much as hearing a stranger say, “I
really like you — and I’ve just met you!” Driven by your talents, you customarily figure out what makes
each person special. You talk to, observe, or study individuals who produce nothing less than
excellence to identify what inspires them. Unquestionably, you prefer to associate with those who
share your passion for taking something good and making it better. Once you understand what drives
a person, you can motivate him or her to transform whatever was made better into something utterly
superb. You insert intricate or theoretical words into your everyday, academic, or professional
conversations and writings. Your natural interest in language explains why you enjoy mastering
unusual words and their multiple meanings. While others struggle to memorize new terms in classes
or seminars, you tend to commit words to memory with relative ease. You find this process is both
natural and pleasurable. By nature, you yearn to increase your knowledge by being kept in the
information loop. This explains why you gravitate to people who converse about ideas at a deeper and
more thoughtful level than most individuals are capable of doing. Instinctively, you are comfortable
saying, “I am a fine educator.” You converse with others in your field about ideas, theories, or
concepts to gather the latest thinking, and use these insights to draw people into discussions that
entice them to explore topics.
HIGHLIGHTS
Your mind is open and absorbent. You naturally soak up information in the same way that a sponge
soaks up water. But just as the primary purpose of the sponge is not to permanently contain what it
absorbs; neither should your mind simply store information. As you gather and absorb information, you
maintain awareness of the individuals and groups that can most benefit from your knowledge, and are
intentional about sharing with them.
You flourish in jobs in which you are charged with acquiring new information each day, and by simply
following your Input talents, you often become known as the authority in your field, and are not afraid to
position yourself as an expert.
Often, you make a point of identifying the facts and data that would be most valuable to others and use
this information to their advantage by leveraging this knowledge and turning it into action.
Once you have identified areas of specialization, you actively seek more information about them, and
are deliberate with whom you share the information you collected.

4. 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?
You enjoy spending time with possibility thinkers. This is often the case when they present intriguing
ideas that no one else has considered. You enjoy exploring the fascinating frontiers of medicine,
politics, fashion, renewable energy sources, humanitarian aid, or the arts. It’s very likely that you
may be the person to whom group members turn for original thoughts. Perhaps ideas pop into your
consciousness as soon as someone describes a problem or an opportunity.
Driven by your talents, you are acutely aware of how your teammates perceive your abilities. You can
sense what they think of you as a person. These insights many times allow you to earn their
confidence so you can contribute even more to the group’s success. By nature, you have a rich
vocabulary upon which to draw. The words you choose often expand and challenge your listeners’ or
readers’ thinking. Because of your strengths, you marvel whenever you create a link between one
thought or object and another. You develop entirely new concepts, theories, innovations, designs,
plots, conclusions, proposals, and more. With each mental leap, you experience feelings of
happiness, pleasure, and success.
HIGHLIGHTS
By understanding the fuel for your Ideation talents: When do you get your best ideas? When you’re
talking with people? When you’re reading? When you’re simply listening, or observing? You take note
of the circumstances that seem to produce your best ideas, and recreate them. You understand the
added impact gained by finishing your thoughts and ideas before communicating them; especially for
those lacking your Ideation talents, “connecting the dots” of an interesting idea reduces the likelihood
of it being dismissed.
You are a natural fit with resource and development; you appreciate the mindset of visionaries and
dreamers, seek pleasure by spending time with imaginative peers and sitting in on their brainstorming
sessions. Thinking energizes you because the ideas and experiences of others become your raw
material for new ideas.
You have an abstract and conceptual thinking style and often make your ideas more concrete by
drawing pictures, using analogies or metaphors, or simply explaining your concepts step by step.
Your Ideation talents by gathering knowledge, studying fields and industries different from your own,
drawing ideas from outside, and linking disparate ideas to generate new ones.

5. SHARED THEME DESCRIPTION

be. They inspire others with their visions of the future.
YOUR PERSONALIZED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS

You feel enthusiastic about life when you contemplate everything you can accomplish in the coming
months, years, or decades. You probably need to know what the future holds before you can
concentrate on today’s activities. Because of your strengths, you are a visionary thinker. Your vivid
mental images of the coming months, years, or decades often impel you to move into action. By
nature, you routinely create vivid mental images of what you plan to accomplish in the coming weeks,
months, or years. You delight in sharing your dreams and goals with others. Formal and informal
discussions usually capture your interest and keep your attention. You welcome opportunities to
refine your thinking about what is possible. Instinctively, you may design forward- looking plans for a
specific aspect of your life, such as investments, entrepreneurial ventures, education, vacations, or
retirement. Driven by your talents, you prefer to spend time with visionaries. Why? You probably
enjoy listening to them describe innovative products, labor-saving devices, medical possibilities, or
new ways of governing. Thinking about only the present usually bores you.
HIGHLIGHTS
You take time to think about the future. The more time you spend considering your ideas about the
future, the more vivid your ideas will become. The more vivid your ideas, the more persuasive you
are.
You push others to greater heights of creativity and vividness, and seek audiences who appreciate
your ideas for the future and are motivated by expectations of those who expect you to make those
ideas a reality.
You inspire others with your images of the future. When you articulate your vision, you often describe
the future in detail with vivid words and metaphors and often make your ideas and strategies more
concrete via sketches, step-by-step action plans, and mock-up models so that others readily grasp
your intent.
You often surround yourself with people who are eager to put your vision into motion. They feel
exhilarated by your Futuristic talents, and ability to harness their energy to propel the vision toward
reality.
Your Futuristic talents equips you to be a guide or coach for others. Unlike you, they might not be
able to easily see over the horizon. If you catch a vision of what someone could be or do, you don’t
assume that he or she is aware of that potential. By sharing what you see as vividly as you can. In
doing so, you inspire someone to move forward.

interesting event, even if it feels like hard work. When your listeners respond favorably, you might be
eager to share another tale or two. You enthusiastically welcome opportunities to converse with
people. The animated give-and-take of dialogue is likely to help you appreciate what is right about
your life and the world in general. By nature, you truly enjoy participating in give-and- take dialogue
with people who can offer their insights into the future. You probably are much more intrigued by the
next decade’s or century’s possibilities than by today’s realities. It’s very likely that you are a lot more
upbeat about life when you are surrounded by teammates, classmates, coworkers, family members,
friends, or even strangers. Being alone for too long can be quite disheartening — that is, lower your
spirits. Driven by your talents, you seek the company of individuals who ponder, reflect, consider,
