Driven by your talents, you allow events to unfold. You have the good sense to be flexible and accept
change as it occurs. This explains why your friends often describe you as unflappable — that is, not easily
excited. By nature, you need to have time to rest and unwind. Rushing from one activity or assignment to
another can take a toll on you mentally, physically, or emotionally. So, rather than do the opposite of what
everyone else is doing, you prefer to move in the same direction as they are. Typically you choose to use
the processes they are using. In your opinion, being cooperative is not only sensible and efficient, but also
less exhausting. It’s very likely that you deal with things as they happen. “Why rush? Why hurry?” you ask.
You understand the wisdom of long-distance runners who set a pace that suits their body, mind and spirit.
Your work style mirrors that of a marathoner who runs at a measured, predictable and even pace from start
to finish. Instinctively, you may prefer to be an individual performer. Why? Apparently, it is because working
alone allows you to deal with things as they occur. Your flexible approach makes your job or studies much
more pleasurable. You are less effective when you are forced to adhere to every step or deadline of
someone else’s action plan. If the plan is outdated, your efficiency is apt to diminish. Chances are good
that you allow events to unfold. You have the good sense to be flexible and accept change as it occurs.
This explains why your friends often describe you as unflappable — that is, not easily excited.

insights into human behavior. Ordinary and extraordinary experiences, philosophies of life, and research
findings captivate you as well. Guided by your unique interests, you regularly add to your storehouse of
knowledge whenever you read. By nature, you are attracted to the written word. Each discovery raises new
questions. Each insight enables you to forge linkages between facts, statements, events or data. The more

Through reading, you acquire knowledge and gain new skills. You feel happy when you are growing and
becoming more independent. Instinctively, you may have acquired a sophisticated vocabulary, comprised

certain procedures, you might rely on this terminology. Perhaps your attention to detail works to your
advantage when you are addressing particular types of experts. Because you comprehend the meanings of

understand. Because of your strengths, you probably are one of those people who reads the regulations
first, especially when they apply to everyone in a group. Your need to commit these rules to memory is apt
to be the way you prepare to play a game, assemble a device, use a computer program, or adhere to a
standard process. Driven by your talents, you thirst for new ideas and knowledge. Often you lose yourself
in a book. You pore over the ideas contained on its pages for long stretches of time. Why? You want to
absorb as much information as you can.

strengths, you are drawn to teams in which members rely on you to simplify everyday duties and tasks.
You can provide them with appropriate rules and systems to handle recurring activities and events. You

own way, thus causing systems to fail.

Chances are good that you turn to experienced individuals to help you pinpoint areas where you need to do
something better. You probably seek their counsel about personal or professional matters. You often trust

much satisfaction from fixing things and enhancing your own performance. This is especially true when
others are not meddling — that is, interfering — with the process.
