unique qualities of each person. They have a gift for figuring out how people who are
different can work together productively.



By nature, you enjoy working and studying with people whose backgrounds, cultures, talents,
or experiences are quite different from one another. You usually are the one who determines
how each individual can contribute to the group. Instinctively, you often help visionaries
discover ways they can work with people who concentrate on the past or the present. Rather
than let differences separate them, you point out areas where they share similar backgrounds,

can experience when listeners call their ideas “far-fetched,” “impractical,” or “ridiculous.”
You are quick to show people how their unique traits complement each other. Chances are
good that you automatically ask individuals questions to discover their talents, interests,
hopes, fears, successes, or failures. By being inquisitive, you begin to see each person as he
or she really is. The insights you have are most valuable when there is a job to do. You are

chores. It’s very likely that you may enjoy coming to the aid of others. You might prefer to

in. Aware of your public persona — that is, the person you present yourself as — you strive
to appear confident and polished. Being perceived as knowledgeable, trustworthy, and

and innovative thinker. Others frequently rely on you to generate novel concepts, theories,
