Personality Types: What's yours? Chat/Discussion/Help/Connections

Your Temperament
Your talents fit:

A Thinker
Your personality is a mixture of several character types, but the role
it most naturally fits is the thinker. Thinkers are problem-solvers.
They are curious to understand how things work, are always asking
questions, and tend to be drawn to projects that require innovation
and creativity.
Thinkers want to unlock the secrets of the world. They are selfcontained,
strong-willed, and find it important to feel capable and
skilled in the areas that interest them. They don't often follow customs
or rules, especially if they feel the customs or rules create a
less efficient way of doing something. They tend to be precise in
their use of language, independent, and skeptical of all ideas, even
their own. They are rare; statistics show that only five to seven
percent of the population are thinkers.

Thinker's Motto:
• I want understand how things work.

Natural job talents:
• No matter how simple the topic is, your brain is always striving
to make associations and connections. You want to know how
specific parts can fit together to create a working whole.

Best environment:
• You work best in an environment that is challenging and full
of complexities. You are fascinated by systems - whether they
may be mechanical systems such as cars, airports, or computers,
or social systems such as families and companies.
• Thinkers get the job done fast, are independent and goal-centered.
They operate well when in competition.
• Seek out opportunities that allow you to put these talents to
use. Avoid environments that don't challenge you or allow
room for you to mentally explore. When a boss or co-worker
is too strict or close-minded, you will feel suffocated and tend
to become stubborn toward that person and the task at hand.

Co-Workers:
• The best co-worker for you? Someone who is skilled at what
he or she does. In work environments, you are most impressed
by competency and unique abilities, rather than by personality.
• The worst co-worker for you? A slow learner or a person who
likes to talk just for the sake of small talk. You are bothered
by superficial people and pretenders.

Biggest challenge:
• Thinkers can tend to be pessimistic or skeptical. They are often
their own worst critic. Take care to limit these self-critical
tendencies. They decrease your mood and your overall feeling
of happiness in life.

Achilles Heel:
• Biggest fear: Not appearing capable or competent enough.

Your Strength:
• Your skill is in your independent nature and in your ability to
make interesting connections between facts. You notice associations
that other people tend to overlook.

Favorite Question:
• 'How and why?'. Artists are known for asking 'Where?'. They
want to know where the action is so that they can be there and
help to sculpt it. Protectors are known for asking 'What?'. They
want to keep things regulated. Idealists are known for asking
'Who?'. They are most concerned about how decisions and
actions affect people. Thinkers, however, are known for asking
'How and why?'. They want to figure out how things work and
what the big picture is.
