Your Personalized Strengths Insights

What makes you stand out?

Chances are good that you

• Excel at launching new projects, assignments, jobs, and other activities. Many times, you are the person who motivates people to begin tasks.

• You prefer difficult-to-reach goals.

• You prefer to take charge.

• You forge ahead rather than wait for someone in authority to give you permission to start.

• It’s very likely that you derive much joy from starting new projects, jobs, or courses of study. Before moving ahead, you automatically think about the things you need to upgrade, perfect, or do better.

• By nature, you often scare people by comparing your performance to theirs. They probably grow quite edgy as your drive to be the best becomes more evident to them.

You typically take advantage of your rivals’ timidity — that is, lack of boldness and determination. By doing so, you likely earn the best scores, ratings, or rankings. Instinctively, you sometimes make people feel special. Typically you point out the importance or usefulness of something they said. Because of your strengths, you want to be in charge. As soon as you have made up your mind, you are eager to get started.
