Shared Theme Description
People who are especially talented in the Input theme have a craving to know more. Often they like to
collect and archive all kinds of information.
Your Personalized Strengths Insights
What makes you stand out?
It’s very likely that you are a well-read individual. People whom you have befriended turn to you for
guidance. Often you help them see a situation or problem from a different perspective because of
something you discovered while surveying a book, article, letter, or Internet site. For you, reading is
the key that opens the door to a world of fresh ideas. You collect them, never knowing when
something you read will benefit someone else. Instinctively, you occasionally ask questions and
intently listen to the answers of certain people. This behavior might surface when you meet a stranger
or newcomer. Occasionally you eavesdrop on what they are telling someone else. Not wanting
anyone to feel like an outsider, you try to draw individuals into the conversation. This partially explains
why you search for a specific reason to involve them in a few of your own or the group’s activities. By
nature, you may interpret and straightforwardly outline ideas, processes, or projects that some people
have difficulty understanding. Driven by your talents, you might have a particular desire for
knowledge. Perhaps you feel it makes little sense to skim through a book and read only the highlights.
You might want to delve more deeply into intriguing subjects than most people. Maybe you love to
gather all kinds of information. Because of your strengths, you may thirst for new ideas and
knowledge. Sometimes you dive into your reading with abandon. Other times you lose yourself in a
book. Maybe you pore over the thoughts contained in its pages for long stretches of time. Why? You
might want to absorb as much information as you can.
