find age-appropriate stories to read to youngsters in your family, little ones you baby-sit, or students at

even when you are personally inconvenienced. You usually place the well-being of others above your

You occasionally know without trying what they are thinking or feeling as they deal with life’s joys,
sorrows, challenges, or monotony. Because of your strengths, you sometimes ask people questions
so you can collect background information. Maybe the insights you gather make it a bit easier to
pinpoint what makes this person totally different from everyone else. You might be fascinated by the
diversity of human beings. You might amass enough facts about specific individuals to prevent others
from stereotyping them. Because no two people are the same, you try to decipher who works well with
whom. Instinctively, you enhance your own quality of life each time you reach out to someone in need
of assistance. It’s very likely that you greatly enjoy the written word. You often are found poring over
— that is, studiously reading — a book to acquire simple facts or to deepen your understanding of a
favorite topic. Because you are well-read, you routinely provide people with information they currently
need. Chances are good that you sometimes view events from the perspectives of the people

the behavior of certain individuals. Instinctively, you diligently examine past events. You find patterns
that keep recurring. This information allows you to anticipate what can happen in the future. You
grasp the meaning of George Santayana’s warning: “Those who cannot remember the past are
condemned to repeat it.”
Learner
Shared Theme Description
People who are especially talented in the Learner theme have a great desire to learn and want to
continuously improve. In particular, the process of learning, rather than the outcome, excites them.
Your Personalized Strengths Insights
What makes you stand out?
Driven by your talents, you might place a high value on seeking and gathering specific kinds of
information. Perhaps your need to be informed motivates you to acquire knowledge so you are as
smart as you want to be about certain subjects. Chances are good that you occasionally center your
efforts on making improvements you decide are intriguing or relevant to your life. Maybe you need to
feel passionate about these opportunities. Why? You might want to devote time and energy to
acquiring the knowledge and/or skills you sense you lack. To some degree, this explains why you
periodically force yourself to address specific shortcomings. By nature, you may prefer to be an
individual performer, especially when you can direct your mental or physical energies to tasks that
intrigue you. It’s very likely that you may be attracted to assignments that demand original and
inventive thinking. In some cases, you track down new ideas, facts, or data. Your out-of-the-box
thinking might challenge some people to abandon, or at the very least to question, specific
conventional practices. When you cause one or two of them to suggest options, maybe their need to
protect the status quo will be replaced by a desire to gather more information. Because of your
strengths, you may enjoy pondering what you can revise, correct, renovate, upgrade, or relocate.
When you are curious about a person, event, topic, project, activity, or idea, you probably devote a bit
more energy and time to studying it.

consider what someone else should upgrade. Occasionally you spot things that need to be fixed.
Perhaps you are hardwired to see certain kinds of existing flaws or to detect specific opportunities to

exactness, or accuracy. This partially explains why you stop to check, revise, streamline, or enhance
everything you do. You might make some corrections. You may even discard what you have done if it
fails to meet your high standards. Some individuals might tell you your results are acceptable. Even
so, you try to produce flawless outcomes. To some degree, your own opinion about quality matters to
you more than anyone else’s. Driven by your talents, you might engage in self-improvement activities
once you have identified things you need to know more about or do better. Perhaps you hope to
minimize some of your shortcomings.
