Your Personalized Strengths Insights
What makes you stand out?
Chances are good that you sharpen your ideas about the future by spending time with possibility
thinkers. These individuals regularly talk about inventions, medicines, designs, technologies, or food
supplies that no one else has even considered. Instinctively, you intentionally take steps to be the
mastermind of your own future. You refuse to leave your destiny to chance. You probably resist
placing it in someone else’s hands. You trust your own intelligence and imagination when setting a
direction for your life. Because of your strengths, you look to the future rather than review what has
already occurred in your life. You see little reason to cling to the past. The future is full of potential.
You set your sights on being accomplished and successful. Driven by your talents, you invest
considerable time creating the future of your own choosing. You frequently share your ideas about
what will be possible in the coming months, years, and decades. You probably capture people’s
attention whenever you describe in vivid detail what you imagine. By nature, you have a capacity for
envisioning what the coming months, years, or decades could, should, or will be like. Frequently you
are prompted to transform your ideas into things you can touch, taste, see, smell, or hear.

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.
It’s very likely that you are comfortable shedding tears at movies, weddings, funerals, or awards
ceremonies. Your eyes can fill with tears when you are reading books, listening to speakers, or
watching poignant — that is, emotionally touching and moving — news reports. Chances are good
that 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 bring a keen awareness about human behavior to the classroom, laboratory,
seminar, playing field, or tutoring session. You spontaneously tune in to what individuals are thinking
and feeling minute by minute. These insights are likely to make you a better educator. Because of
your strengths, you comprehend the needs, feelings, hopes, and/or problems of others, especially
those who seek your advice. Without saying a word, your attentiveness tells them you really care.
Driven by your talents, you recognize that people feel most visible and valued when another human
being puts everything aside to hear what they have to say. Actually, the importance you attach to
heeding the spoken word causes many individuals to think, “Finally, someone understands me!”
Developer
People who are especially talented in the Developer theme recognize and cultivate the potential in
others. They spot the signs of each small improvement and derive satisfaction from these
improvements.
By nature, you like to lift the spirits of the people around you. You know what to do and say so
individuals feel useful, valued, appreciated, and important. Chances are good that you inspire
individuals by telling them what they do well. You intentionally look for the good in people. You make
sure they know how much you appreciate their talents and their results. People often thrive when you
are part of their lives. Instinctively, you might receive and even welcome diverse types of people into
your life. Sometimes you comment favorably about their individual talents, efforts, skills, knowledge,
contributions, or accomplishments. Driven by your talents, you can sometimes instill a sense of self-
worth in individuals. Perhaps you are one of the people in their lives who values them, sees what they
can become, and believes in them. Because of your strengths, you occasionally inspire people to try
2

new things or adopt a more upbeat outlook on life. Perhaps your words and/or your attentiveness
bolster the self-esteem of others.
Intellection
People who are especially talented in the Intellection theme are characterized by their intellectual
activity. They are introspective and appreciate intellectual discussions.
It’s very likely that you may be inclined to read certain types of books, publications, or Internet sites
that offer tips on how you might improve yourself as a person, a parent, a student, a professional, an
investor, or a craftsperson. Perhaps you are unapologetic about wanting to conquer some of your
shortcomings. Chances are good that you may welcome into your life people who represent a diverse
range of personalities, backgrounds, educational levels, or cultures. To some degree, this ability to be
open might influence what you read in newspapers, magazines, books, or on the Internet. By casting
your net for information far and wide — that is, in every direction — you periodically “catch” the ideas
of several writers. Possibly reading is a pleasure for you rather than a duty. Driven by your talents,
you occasionally read to acquire information or to collect insights about discoveries, events, or people.
Perhaps you conduct an in-depth examination of particular subjects. Maybe your curiosity is not easily
satisfied. If this is the case, you might rely on other books, publications, or printed materials to deepen
your understanding of a topic. By nature, you might be a frugal individual — that is, you sometimes
spend money with care. Perhaps this partially explains why you occasionally satisfy your passion for
reading by checking out library books, borrowing books from others, or quickly searching the shelves
of half-priced bookstores. Instinctively, you might gather ideas and information from reading
publications that keep you up to date on particular types of current events. What you choose to
peruse — that is, examine studiously — may reflect some of your personal or professional interests.
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.
Driven by your talents, 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. Chances are good that you occasionally link together a variety of
people who otherwise might not know each other. Perhaps you create a work climate where
3

individuals begin to understand each other and cooperate. Because of your strengths, you have no
doubts about being linked in some way with everything in the universe. This includes all creation and
all humankind. Instinctively, you may be able to accept unpredictable events in your life on the basis
of sheer faith. Perhaps you sense there is a force greater than you at work in the world. Occasionally
you can live with not knowing the exact reason why something good or bad happened to you and not
to someone else. By nature, you occasionally think about some of the ways you are linked to every
person on the planet. This may inspire you to include an interesting assortment of people in your life.
Perhaps you look for ties between yourself and family members, coworkers, friends, classmates, or
teammates.
