INFLUENCING
1. Maximizer
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE
You focus on strengths as a way to stimulate personal and group excellence. You seek to transform
something strong into something superb.
Driven by your talents, you are keenly aware of the unique talents, knowledge, skills, and
strengths you bring to the group.
Instinctively, you invest much more time thinking about your good points than agonizing
over your shortcomings. You usually proceed faster and produce better results when you
build on your talents.
It’s very likely that you typically choose to partner with individuals who recognize what you
do well and acknowledge areas in which you excel. You genuinely appreciate their
willingness to provide you with opportunities to practice using your natural abilities. You
accept the need to build upon your raw talents to create true strengths.
Because of your strengths, you often congratulate yourself for being a fine counselor. Many
people keep coming back to you for words of wisdom. Others seek your recommendations
about how to handle problems or take advantage of opportunities.
Chances are good that you customarily figure out what makes each person special. You
talk to, observe, or study individuals who produce nothing less than excellence to identify
what inspires them. Unquestionably, you prefer to associate with those who share your
passion for taking something good and making it better. Once you understand what drives
a person, you can motivate him or her to transform whatever was made better into
something utterly superb.
You focus on quality, and you prefer working with and for the best. By seeing what each
person naturally does best and empowering them to do it, you make individuals, teams and
groups better.
• Your desire to exhaust all possible outcomes can frustrate those who want to come to a
suitable conclusion and move forward. Sometimes, you will need to accept that “good
enough” is adequate and appropriate.
• You might be disappointed when a project or initiative falls short of your definition of
excellence. Try not to get discouraged when you have to work on or sign off on something
that is acceptable, but not ideal, in your eyes.
INFLUENCING
2. Communication
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE
You generally find it easy to put your thoughts into words. You are a good conversationalist and
presenter.
By nature, you freely share your ideas or feelings with others. Being tongue-tied — that is,
unable to speak freely — is rarely a problem for you. Words quickly come to mind when you
are with people. Your ease with language enables you to meet, greet, and treat strangers as
if they already were your friends.
Instinctively, you often take part in thought-filled conversations with your colleagues or
classmates. Together, you sift through possibilities. You assess the pros and cons of each
person’s innovative theories, suggestions, or proposals. During these verbal exchanges,
ideas expand, narrow, and take on new forms. You thrive in settings where everyone feels
safe thinking out loud.
Because of your strengths, you are a magnet for fun. You personify the phrase “the life of
the party” — that is, you can make situations enjoyable, exciting, and interesting for a group
of people. You bubble with energy and enthusiasm. You welcome opportunities to create
merriment. People look forward to just being with you or attending your social gatherings.
Chances are good that you unquestionably change the topic when people are having
difficulty talking with one another. You usually bring newcomers or outsiders together by
sharing your ideas, telling stories, or reenacting humorous incidents. You often serve as the
catalyst for good discussions or interesting personal conversations.
It’s very likely that you have a gift for engaging people in group conversations. You also are
an active participant. Your upbeat attitude energizes the dialogue. You acknowledge the
ideas people share. You reinforce the value of what they say. Consequently, many people
become even more willing to reveal their thoughts and feelings.
You are good at capturing people’s attention by what you say and how you say it. Your
ability to find words for your own and others’ thoughts and feelings highlights important
messages and helps you make meaningful connections.
Use your gift for stimulating conversation to connect with and inspire others.
• Monitor your audience. Carefully watch how they react to what you say and what engages
them. Identify the words and phrases that caught their attention. Refine your upcoming
presentations, conversations and speeches to focus on these highlights.
• Keep getting smarter about the words you use. They are a critical currency for you. Spend
them wisely, and monitor their impact.
• Take your Communication talents to the level of strength by developing your knowledge
and expertise in specific areas. You can be highly effective and influential when your
message has substance.
• Keep your best stories top of mind, and practice telling them so you get better each time.
You excel at capturing people’s attention.
• Use your talents to build consensus among your peers. Get them talking, and help them
put their ideas or feelings into words.
• Because you are naturally verbal and instinctively share your thoughts, you may not realize
when you are monopolizing a discussion. Try to be mindful of when other people have
something to say, and consider pausing so they can say it.
• Remember that your words are not always enough to motivate others. Take time to listen
and pay attention to what others are saying — and not saying.
RELATIONSHIP BUILDING
3. Adaptability
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE
You prefer to go with the flow. You tend to be a “now” person who takes things as they come and who
discovers the future one day at a time.
Chances are good that you make plans as you move into and through your day. Not being
bound to a strict timeline or action plan frees you to deal with problems or take advantage
of opportunities at the moment they arise.
It’s very likely that you might deal with the requests or problems of others as soon as you
learn about them.
Driven by your talents, you allow your life to unfold naturally. You trust you will find your path
as it evolves. You resist being tied to predetermined plans and standardized systems. You
prefer to experience life in the moment. You are eager to see where it takes you.
Because of your strengths, you effortlessly adjust to the shifting challenges of the day. You
enjoy variety and change. You are comfortable allowing each day to unfold on its own
terms. You feel little stress when predetermined timelines must be scrapped. You probably
regard rigidly organized plans and routines as barriers rather than helpful tools.
By nature, you live in a state of hope-filled expectancy. You eagerly await what will come
next. You probably feel your life is a lot more interesting when you are not forced to follow
set routines, rigid rules, and/or predictable plans.
You are flexible and can quickly adjust to changing or unexpected circumstances that
upset or intimidate others. Your calm response to chaos reassures others and helps you
respond to what people need.
• You’re so willing to live in the moment that you might constantly shift your priorities. Be
aware that frequent changes can feel endless and often unnecessary to those who thrive
on structure and stability.
• You may have a tendency to miss deadlines or run late for appointments. Make sure you
keep track of the most important due dates and meetings.
RELATIONSHIP BUILDING
4. Positivity
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE
You have contagious enthusiasm. You are upbeat and can get others excited about what they are
going to do.
Driven by your talents, you are cheerful and easygoing. You typically emphasize what you
have in common with people. You diplomatically sidestep areas of disagreement. Your
even-tempered nature and friendly disposition cause you to see the good in practically
everyone. You probably feel sad for those who consistently look for the worst in individuals
and are gleeful when they find it.
Instinctively, you consistently bolster — that is, boost — the morale of some of your
teammates. You offer compliments. You affirm certain individuals’ talents, knowledge, skills,
contributions, and successes.
Because of your strengths, you lavish compliments on others. You make them feel good
about themselves, how they look, or what they have contributed. You probably describe
things individuals have done well. You usually point out evidence of professional progress
or personal growth.
Chances are good that you expend a lot of mental, physical, and emotional energy earning
the affection of the individuals you meet. You want others to feel the same fondness for you
that you naturally feel toward them.
It’s very likely that you cheer up people by telling jokes and funny stories. Your comedic flair
and your clever wit often evoke laughter. You can make others smile regardless of the
circumstances.
You have an infectious energy and enthusiasm. As someone who offers genuine
encouragement and an optimistic outlook on life, you have the power to make people feel
better when you are around.
• Sometimes your optimism and generosity with praise might come off as superficial, naïve
or insincere. Make sure your positivity and admiration are always genuine; you can do more
damage with false praise than with criticism.
• Be careful not to point out the positive side of a bad situation before others have the
chance to fully vent. Acknowledge that sometimes people are not ready to hear the bright
side and just need you to listen.
STRATEGIC THINKING
5. Strategic
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE
You create alternative ways to proceed. Faced with any given scenario, you can quickly spot the
relevant patterns and issues.
It’s very likely that you characteristically find the right words to express whatever you are
thinking. You offer explanations, discuss ideas, give examples, or share stories. You
effectively use the spoken word.
Instinctively, you may see solutions before other people know there is a problem. You might
start formulating answers before your teammates, coworkers, or classmates understand
the question. Sometimes you generate numerous ideas before sorting to the one that
makes the most sense in a particular situation.
Driven by your talents, you normally find just the right words at the right moment to express
whatever you are thinking and feeling. Many people are likely to appreciate your fine
speaking abilities. You can present your ideas in a reasonable, sequential, and methodical
way. Moreover, you generate lots of options for others to consider.
Because of your strengths, 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.
By nature, 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.
You quickly weigh alternative paths and determine the best one. Your natural ability to
anticipate, play out different scenarios and plan ahead makes you an agile decision-maker.
Always have at least three options in mind so you can adapt if circumstances change.
• Strengthen the groups you belong to by using your talent to discover the best path to
success. Because you can do this quickly, it may look as if you are “winging it,” so explain
yourself along the way to help others understand what you see.
• Schedule time each day to think about your goals and strategies. Time alone might be the
best way for you to evaluate all your options and to find the right course of action for each
goal.
• Trust your insights. Because you consider options so naturally and easily, you might not
realize how you came up with a strategy. But because of your exceptional talents, it will likely
be successful.
• Find a group that does important work, and contribute your strategic thinking. Your ideas
and expert planning can make you a strong leader in any group.
• Be prepared to explain your thought process; sometimes people can misinterpret your
Strategic talents as criticism of their ideas. Help them understand that, instead, you are
considering what is already working well and what others have already done.
• When working with others, sometimes they may misinterpret your strong Strategic talents
as criticism. Be mindful of what is already working well and what others have accomplished.
• Because you evaluate patterns and pathways so quickly, others might find it difficult to
follow or understand your thought process. Be aware that sometimes, you might have to
backtrack to explain how you got to where you are.
INFLUENCING
6. Woo
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE
You love the challenge of meeting new people and winning them over. You derive satisfaction from
breaking the ice and making a connection with someone.
You have an exceptional ability to win others over. Because you energize social situations
and naturally put strangers at ease, you help build networks by connecting people with
each other.
• Others may view you as shallow and insincere because you connect with people quickly
then move on. In social situations, when you are talking with someone and have the urge to
go meet someone else, try to remember that some people may just be getting
comfortable.
• You may have a tendency to reveal yourself and trust others too quickly. This may cause
more reserved people to step back from a relationship. Be aware that people’s personal
comfort zones differ, and you will need to adjust your approach if you want to win people
over.
STRATEGIC THINKING
7. Learner
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE
You have a great desire to learn and want to continuously improve. The process of learning, rather than
the outcome, excites you.
You love to learn, and you intuitively know how you learn best. Your natural ability to pick up
and absorb information quickly and to challenge yourself to continually learn more keeps
you on the cutting edge.
Use your passion for learning to add value to your own and others’ lives.
• Become an early adopter of new technology, and keep your coworkers, friends and family
informed. You learn quickly, and others will appreciate when you share and explain cutting-
edge developments to them.
• Respect your desire to learn. Take advantage of educational opportunities in your
community or at work. Discipline yourself to sign up for at least one new course or class
each year.
• Find opportunities to expand your knowledge. Take on increasingly difficult topics, courses
or projects. You love the challenge of a steep learning curve, so beware of learning
plateaus.
• You place a high value on learning and studying, and you may tend to impose this value on
others. Be sure to respect others’ motivations, and resist pushing them toward learning for
learning’s sake.
• You love the process of learning so much that the outcome might not matter to you. Be
careful not to let the process of knowledge acquisition get in the way of your results and
productivity.
EXECUTING
8. Achiever
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE
You work hard and possess a great deal of stamina. You take immense satisfaction in being busy and
productive.
You love to complete tasks, and your accomplishments fulfill you. You have a strong inner
drive — an innate source of intensity, energy and power that motivates you to work hard to
get things done.
Bring intensity and effort to the most important areas of your life.
• Set challenging goals. Take advantage of your self-motivation with a more ambitious goal
every time you finish a project.
• Take time to celebrate each success before moving on to your next item or task, even for
just a few minutes.
• Limit your commitments to projects or assignments that align with your highest priorities
as much as you can.
• You might get frustrated when others don’t work as hard as you do, and they might see you
as too demanding. Remember that not everyone has the same high expectations for
themselves or is driven to work as hard as you are.
• Your pressing need to get things done might cause you to take on projects or agree to
deadlines before you know everything that’s involved. Before you commit to something,
make sure you have the time and resources you need to do it right.
STRATEGIC THINKING
9. Ideation
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE
You are fascinated by ideas. You are able to find connections between seemingly disparate
phenomena.
You are fascinated by ideas. Because you enjoy looking at the world from different
perspectives and are always searching for connections, you are a powerful and creative
brainstorming partner.
• Your limitless thoughts and ideas can sometimes overwhelm and confuse people.
Consider refining your ideas and sharing only the best so others won’t reject them simply
because they cannot follow your abstract thinking.
• You might struggle to follow through on the ideas you generate. Think about collaborating
with someone who can help you turn your best ideas into real results.
INFLUENCING
10. Self-Assurance
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE
You feel confident in your ability to take risks and manage your own life. You have an inner compass
that gives you certainty in your decisions.
You trust your instincts, so you forge ahead confidently, even on risky paths. Because of
your certainty, persuasiveness and ability to make decisions easily, you lead the way for
others.
• Your confidence in your ability to make the right decisions might make you feel like you
don’t need to consult anyone else. But no one is right all the time, so consider asking
others for their input; they might even validate your hunches.
• Because you usually sound like you know what you’re talking about — whether you do or
not — others might be nervous about questioning you. Be careful not to alienate or
intimidate others with your confidence.

The best teams are made up of individuals who understand their own — and others’ — unique contribution
to the team. This awareness and appreciation empowers the team to be more cohesive, versatile,
productive and engaged.
However, be careful not to let the four domains limit your thinking. If you don’t have any top themes in a
particular domain, don’t worry. That doesn’t mean you can’t think strategically or build relationships, for
example. Everyone accomplishes tasks, influences others, builds relationships and processes information.
You just use your stronger themes in different domains to get to the same outcome.

which domain you lead with can help you understand your most powerful contribution.
