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?
Instinctively, you are drawn to the process of gaining knowledge and skills. You long to build on what
you already know. You yearn to improve on what you already can do. When you meet people who
value education as much as you do, you are eager to hear about their personal or professional
ambitions, intentions, or goals. Understanding what others aim to accomplish in the coming weeks,
months, or years can be the beginning of a practical partnership or an enduring friendship. By nature,
you channel your efforts into the task at hand. You persevere until you have gained the knowledge
and skills needed to attain a goal. You can toil for many hours to secure your objective. You probably
work hardest and most productively at a particular time of day. Chances are good that you are
comfortable offering suggestions to people who regularly seek your counsel — that is,
recommendations about a decision or course of action they are considering. These individuals usually
feel deep affection for you. You are likely to spend time together socializing as well as working or
studying. Driven by your talents, you usually equate education — formal and informal — with
understanding more about something today than you understood about it yesterday. It’s very likely
that you yearn to know a lot. It makes little sense to you to skim through a book and read only the
highlights. You delve more deeply into intriguing subjects than most people do. You love to gather all
kinds of information. This explains why you take time to grasp ideas that appear in print.

Your Personalized Strengths Insights
What makes you stand out?
Instinctively, you may notice that multiple solutions to nagging problems just pop into your mind.
Sometimes you study each option from many different angles. Perhaps you carefully evaluate the
entire situation, then choose the alternative that makes the most sense. Why? Maybe you aim to
outscore or outperform your rivals. By nature, you occasionally opt to work by yourself. Perhaps you
trust your talents, knowledge, and skills in identifying problems. You might consider numerous
solutions before you pinpoint an appropriate course of action. Sometimes questions and answers
materialize without much effort on your part. Driven by your talents, you are innovative, inventive,
original, and resourceful. Your mind allows you to venture beyond the commonplace, the familiar, or
the obvious. You entertain ideas about the best ways to reach a goal, increase productivity, or solve a
problem. First, you think of alternatives. Then you choose the best option. Because of your strengths,
you long to know more so you remain on the cutting edge of your field or areas of interest. Your
inventive mind usually generates more possibilities than you can handle or fund. Nonetheless, you are
committed to acquiring knowledge and/or skills. You study everything involved in a situation and
conceive entirely new ways of seeing or doing things. What you already know prompts you to ask
questions and delve even deeper into a subject or problem. It’s very likely that you occasionally
marvel at your ability to vividly express your thoughts and feelings.

activity. They are introspective and appreciate intellectual discussions.

What makes you stand out?
Chances are good that you might take a long and hard look at yourself from time to time. Perhaps you
review what you have and have not accomplished. Maybe you scrutinize — that is, give close
attention to — how you treated certain individuals and how they responded to you. Occasionally you
consider reordering your personal or professional priorities. Periodically you examine many aspects of
your life. By nature, you relish the nuances and intricacies of language. Your sophisticated or
specialized vocabulary allows you to choose words for their power and clarity. Whether speaking or
writing, you convey what you are thinking and feeling in a forceful, matter-of-fact manner. Usually no
one has to second-guess — that is, wonder about — the true meaning of your intentions, messages,

3. expectations, or orders. Instinctively, you periodically feel restless until you have collected enough
insights to thoughtfully examine certain kinds of abstract concepts, theories, or ideas. This may be
one reason why you are attracted to specific people. Perhaps they engage in intelligent
conversations. Possibly they refrain from casual chit-chat or meaningless small talk. It’s very likely
that you probably examine facts, data, or the sequence of events to determine why something
happened. You customarily use reason to make sense of whatever is going on in your life. Because of
your strengths, you enjoy reflecting on what you already know and on what you want to know. Your
concentration leads you to major and minor discoveries. You need ample quiet time to critically
examine new information, theories, concepts, or philosophies. Wherever you go and whatever you do,
your mind is seldom at rest. You consider what you have observed. You pose never-before-asked
questions. Thinking deeply about things is a necessity for you. It is not a luxury. It is not an option.
Ideation
Shared Theme Description
People who are especially talented in the Ideation theme are fascinated by ideas. They are able to
find connections between seemingly disparate phenomena.
Your Personalized Strengths Insights
What makes you stand out?
Chances are good that you regard yourself as logical and reasonable. You spontaneously reduce
mechanisms, processes, proposals, ideas, or formulas to their basic parts. You figure out how the
pieces interrelate. Your discoveries tell you why something does or does not function the way it
should. Driven by your talents, you are highly sensitive to what others think of you. This sensitivity
continually motivates you to do things better than you have in the past. By nature, you frequently
identify parts of your life you want to change for the better. You also seek ways to upgrade things.
You feel renewed mentally, physically, and emotionally each time you turn around a situation with
your innovative thinking. It’s very likely that you frequently question whether others regard you as
aloof or standoffish. Those who have this impression need to understand how hard it is for you to
initiate discussions or casual conversation. Because of your strengths, you tune in to people and
figure out what they are saying and thinking about you. You are acutely aware of how individuals
regard you. You probably curry — that is, try to win — the favor of some and seek to impress others.
Deliberative
Shared Theme Description
People who are especially talented in the Deliberative theme are best described by the serious care
they take in making decisions or choices. They anticipate the obstacles.

4. By nature, you select your friends with great care. You are comfortable nurturing up-close and
personal relationships with these chosen individuals. The quality of your relationships is much more
important to you than the number of people who say you are their friend. It’s very likely that you might
work hard to separate your private life from your public life. Perhaps you are a person with a
reputation for being discreet — that is, careful about what you say. Maybe you avoid discussing your
personal problems, successes, finances, work, or history. Driven by your talents, you periodically
choose to keep certain facts about your life to yourself. You might avoid some jobs, projects, or titles,
especially when they cause you to be regarded as a public figure. Chances are good that you are a
no-nonsense person. This explains why you spend time thinking about things you could and should
review, revise, repair, reorganize, or do better. Instinctively, you are very earnest and businesslike
about the things you choose to perfect, do better, or upgrade. You give careful and thorough
consideration to the changes you want to make. You are seldom inclined to act in haste or be
superficial in your handling of important matters.
