Competition
Shared Theme Description
People who are especially talented in the Competition theme measure their progress against the
performance of others. They strive to win first place and revel in contests.

Driven by your talents, you are determined to be victorious. As much as you yearn to be “number
one,” you know cheating is unacceptable. You probably experience remorse when you unintentionally take unfair advantage of anyone. You likely think finishing first counts only when you have followed all the rules just like everyone else. It’s very likely that you refuse to be content with your performance until you have been declared the most capable, successful, or accomplished person in the group. Just knowing you are being compared to others gives you the extra energy and determination you need to surpass everyone else’s performance.

Chances are good that you feel in control of your final scores, outcomes, and overall performance when you first outline a detailed action plan. Timelines and deadlines probably are very important to you. Your attention to the little things tells people you are quite serious about being “number one.” Instinctively, you aim to deliver the best performance in specific areas. You use every bit of the knowledge, skill, talent, and energy you possess to snag the topmost prize. You probably let little, if anything, distract you from your goal. By nature, you yearn to get ahead. You strive to acquire many of the status symbols and special privileges that come with rank, title, or position.


Strategic
Shared Theme Description
People who are especially talented in the Strategic theme create alternative ways to proceed. Faced
with any given scenario, they can quickly spot the relevant patterns and issues.

It’s very likely that you select the right combination of words to convey your ideas or feelings. In the
middle of discussions, your vocabulary provides you with precise phrases and terminology. You
probably express yourself with ease and grace. Because of your strengths, you work diligently to
invent alternative courses of action. You notice new as well as unusual configurations in facts,
evidence, or data. Others, however, can see only separate, unrelated bits of information. You are
fascinated by problems that puzzle, confound, or frustrate most people. Driven by your talents, you
analyze the lessons of the past to find clues for handling future situations. Piecing together the causes
and effects of historical events allows you to discover alternate routes to your goal. You are seldom
taken by surprise. Why? You probably have studied your options and crafted innovative solutions.

By nature, you might easily detect unusual configurations or spot new trends in data or factual
information. Devising options appeals to you. You have little interest in simply repeating what worked in the past. Chances are good that you trust your ability to be an innovative thinker. You routinely invent many ways you can reach a single goal. Only then do you start narrowing down your options to the best one. You probably take into consideration prevailing circumstances, available resources, budgetary constraints, or pressing deadlines.

Activator
Shared Theme Description
People who are especially talented in the Activator theme can make things happen by turning
thoughts into action. They are often impatient.

By nature, you are a reserved individual. You usually keep personal matters to yourself. This is apt to
explain why you are much more comfortable launching projects than you are talking about your
experiences and accomplishments. Chances are good that you routinely raise the spirits of people by
putting aside what you are doing and giving them your undivided attention. You work diligently to
repeat the key ideas or questions they voiced. Instinctively, you empower people with your air of
certitude — that is, confidence. Your very presence reassures them that they indeed are quite ready
and capable of tackling assignments, spearheading projects, or playing key positions on a team.
Driven by your talents, you relish talking to others. Frequently you help people express their opinions, thoughts, or viewpoints with enthusiasm.

Your words frequently energize individuals or groups.Because of your strengths, you normally pinpoint and acknowledge the grand ideas people share with you. You ask questions. You also listen to others talk about their unique interests, backgrounds, experiences, strengths, limitations, goals, or fears.

Maximizer
Shared Theme Description
People who are especially talented in the Maximizer theme focus on strengths as a way to stimulate
personal and group excellence. They seek to transform something strong into something superb.

Driven by your talents, you credit yourself with unraveling tangled issues, dilemmas, or puzzles. You
instinctively find the right solutions and correct answers. Because of your strengths, you routinely
choose to spend time with people who recognize, applaud, or value your accomplishments. You
probably prefer the company of those who see what you have to offer. You thrive when surrounded by supportive individuals. You tend to distance yourself from people who repeatedly ignore, downplay, or feel threatened by what you do so naturally and so well. It’s very likely that you look forward to attending social events. Meeting familiar and unfamiliar people delights you. You deftly maneuver your way in and out of conversations.

You typically have a wonderful time. You are unlike individuals who feel obliged to accept invitations. You probably are puzzled by those who cannot say, “I am sorry, but I must decline.” By nature, you are aware of what you do naturally and well. You prefer to leverage\ your talents rather than spend time trying to overcome your shortcomings. You expect excellence from yourself and others. Being average at best and mediocre at worst is unacceptable to you. Chances are good that you sense you have an ability to create word pictures that describe the future. You can inspire people with your images of what can be. The individuals who most appreciate your forward thinking probably want and need to hear from you often.

Focus
Shared Theme Description
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.

It’s very likely that you channel your energy toward what you can accomplish in the coming months,
years, or decades. Your mind churns out new and inventive ways of reaching your goals. You risk
becoming bored and delivering a lackluster performance when you are constantly forced to adhere to
a predetermined process, a tried-and-tested procedure, or a traditional method. You can hear yourself
pleading, “But, if we only did it this way, it would be so much better.” Chances are good that you seekto govern the circumstances of your life. You probably choose to work on tasks by yourself so you can determine what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. Group decision-making usually frustrates you.

 Because of your strengths, you can feel uneasy and anxious about what might happen tomorrow, next week, next month, or next year. Your concerns prompt you to anticipate potential pitfalls. Such forethought often works to your advantage. It causes you to devise ways to overcome real and imaginary obstacles before they materialize. You desire to take charge of your life. You really want to think and plan before moving into action. By nature, you pinpoint what you need to accomplish. Then you give it your undivided attention. Few people can match your natural powers of concentration. Driven by your talents, you enjoy establishing objectives in the company of others.
