5. Focus
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.
Driven by your talents, you are more comfortable talking about ideas than issuing orders or dealing
with conflict. You gravitate to conversations with intelligent people. You intentionally cast aside
emotions and concentrate on the facts. You continually search for evidence to make your points and
wish others would do the same. Chances are good that you collect as much information as possible
about past events and people. Often these stories and facts raise your spirits, renew your faith in
humankind, or fill you with hope. When you find another thinker who loves conversing about the
recent or distant past, you are delighted. Few things please you more than delving deep into the lives
of people whose deeds were especially heroic, generous, daring, kind, or original. By nature, you
acquire knowledge more easily when you can talk with others about ideas, concepts, or theories.
Thoughts come alive for you when questions are posed and answers are proposed. You have a
delightful time thinking out loud and listening to intelligent people express themselves. You naturally
document or store in your mind bits and pieces of discussions. You want to refer back to these
insights or facts whenever the opportunity presents itself. Because of your strengths, you probably
have surprised yourself and others on a number of occasions by referring to a relatively obscure fact
or insight you found in a book. You are delighted when something you filed away in your memory or
documented expands your own as well as your colleagues thinking. Frequently you bring to
conversations the major thoughts of writers, researchers, historians, policymakers, common folks, or
prestigious leaders. Reading is apt to be your ticket of admission to some very interesting
discussions. Its very likely that you make sure you comprehend more than any of your opponents do
about what it takes to win something. Whenever your results are going to be compared to those of
others, you are determined to be the sole victor. Consequently, you welcome opportunities to put your
talents, knowledge, and skills to the test. You are especially interested when meaningful and objective
measurements are used to pinpoint the best performer.
People who are especially talented in the Connectedness theme have faith in the links between all
things. They believe there are few coincidences and that almost every event has a reason.
By nature, you have no doubts about being linked in some way with everything in the universe. This
includes all creation and all humankind. Instinctively, you routinely isolate facts that link ideas, events,
or people. You are especially sensitive to how one persons optimistic or negative thoughts can affect
the entire human family. This prompts you to pay close attention to what individuals and groups think
and do. Chances are good that you sense you are linked to all humanity. You contend that harming
another human being eventually harms you. Misusing the environment has personal consequences,
you argue. This perspective on life influences your thoughts, actions, decisions, or choices. Driven by
your talents, you bring people together. You form a bond with each individual as you begin to
understand his or her circumstances. You naturally identify with someones situation. You have a gift
for helping people discover what they have in common. Often this frees them to communicate and
cooperate. Its very likely that you often are the one who helps people understand how they are linked
across time, distance, race, ethnicity, religion, economic levels, languages, or cultures. You make it
possible for individuals to work together. You aim to break down barriers that separate them.
Learner
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.
Because of your strengths, you naturally latch onto opportunities to acquire knowledge. You carefully
Command
People who are especially talented in the Command theme have presence. They can take control of a
situation and make decisions.
Its very likely that you may have the confidence needed to work on specific projects by yourself.
Perhaps you are inclined to take chances as an individual performer when doing so improves the
results. Maybe your daring ideas are less appreciated when you are part of a group. Because of your
strengths, you customarily generate more new concepts than anyone else on the team. Knowing this
probably motivates you to be even more prepared for upcoming meetings, presentations, activities,
conversations, or debates. You have a gift for capturing and holding peoples attention. You probably
describe your latest thoughts, innovations, solutions, theories, or answers in ways that make sense to
the groups members. Driven by your talents, you usually set out to be the very best, whether the
contest is official or merely an invention of your mind. Your desire to get ahead in life impels you to
regularly compare your results to those of others. You probably have questioned whether your
yearnings for greatness are entirely healthy and wise. Chances are good that you often tackle
assignments with great enthusiasm and speed. Your Lets just do it right now! attitude causes many
of your friends to pitch in and work alongside you. They probably share your desire to capture topmost
honors and first-place titles. By nature, you are unsentimental and not often swayed by emotional
Focus
People who are especially talented in the Focus theme can take a direction, follow through, and make
the corrections necessary to stay on track. They prioritize, then act.
Chances are good that you act like a rival when you are pitted against others and only one person can
be declared the very best at something. Your deep-seated desire to finish in first place probably drives
many of your choices and explains much of your behavior. Driven by your talents, you channel your
mental and physical energies toward what you can accomplish in the months, years, or decades
ahead. The question you must answer is this: How far into the future can I think before my ideas start
becoming vague or uninspiring? By nature, you approach most win-lose situations in a practical and
realistic manner. When you are intent on being victorious, you automatically extinguish any
sentimental feelings you have toward your rivals. Instinctively, you are determined to be in charge of
your own destiny. This is your life. You intend to be the ultimate decision maker regarding personal
and professional matters. Because of your strengths, you normally direct most of your talent, energy,
effort, and reasoning to the task at hand. Your good judgment probably allows you to establish long-
term goals that are truly worthy of your undivided attention.
