STRENGTHS.

Gallup Strengthsfinder:

connectedness: it’s very likely that you intentionally get to know people individually in your quest to gain wisdom. discovering the qualities that distinguish someone from everyone else is an essential aspect of your personal search for truth. instinctively, you have no doubts about being linked in some way with everything in the universe.

intellection: driven by your talents, you routinely scan data to find meaningful and repetitious sequences. you are delighted whenever you discover answers others typically overlook. chances are good that you absorb the written word like a sponge sops up water. you need ample quiet time to critically examine new information, theories, concepts, or philosophies. 

activator: it’s very likely that you may want people to like you. this partially explains why you speak candidly about yourself. you are willing to risk being vulnerable now and then. you make choices or judgments when no one else seems willing to do so. you energize others so they feel enthusiastic about a position you have taken, a conclusion you have reached, or an innovative idea you have proposed.

adaptability: you exhibit the flexibility to adjust your day’s priorities as circumstances change. chances are good that you might prefer to be an individual performer because you like to deal with things as they occur. you might be less effective when you are forced to adhere to every step or deadline of someone else’s action plan. you have a gift for reacting in the moment rather than delaying action.

positivity: chances are good that you have a gift for engaging people in group conversations. you acknowledge the ideas people share. you reinforce the value of what they say. consequently, many people become even more willing to reveal their thoughts and feelings. by nature, you are comfortable complimenting individuals you know quite well.
