2. How do you move through life?

Unstructured and more carefree finding delight in simple pleasures.
Steadily and calmly enjoying what brings me and others comfort.
Swiftly with determination focused on the end result.
Straight forwardly, concisely and precisely knowing where I stand with myself and others.

3. What would you consider your natural gift?

Ideas—“I have a new idea, and we can do it!”
Details—“What do we need to know and do to make the idea possible?”
Taking action—“Let’s get to work and get it done!”
Perfecting—“Here is how we can make it better, and here is how we can duplicate it.”

4. Which best describes your thought process?

My thoughts and feelings are quick and spontaneous, and I tend to know quickly what is right for me.
My thoughts follow a steady stream that all connect and make sense.
My thoughts and feelings are swift and deliberate.
My thoughts and feelings are deep and reflective, far reaching and penetrating. I’m not satisfied with the superficial.

5. Which best describes the way you process new information?

I process information so quickly that others sometimes perceive me as not thinking things through.
I like to put all the details together to see what the outcome could be.
I compartmentalize things in my head and can move from one compartment to the next easily, without losing concentration because it all has a purpose to me.
I take in a lot of information and can quickly figure out what has value to me and what does not.

6. Which best describes your communication style?

I can often interrupt or jump from topic to topic in midair when I am in the middle of a conversation because I process information so much faster than other people do.
I am slower in responding. If I am called upon to answer quickly or to speak without preparation, or if I fear that too much depends on my response, I become restless and do not find the right words and consequently often make a false and unsatisfactory reply.
I like to get to the point in my communication. In fact, a common phrase I will use when someone is dragging things out is, “What’s your point?” Going over too many details can bog me down.
I have a gift of being concise in my communication, and am able to share a lot of information clearly and in a few words. I am brief but comprehensive.

7. How do you relate to being on time?

I have a tendency for being late. If I get close to the agreed upon time to be somewhere, getting there close to the time feels good enough. I’m often late because I get distracted while traveling from point A to point B.
I tend to be on time because I tend to make a plan and stick to it.
I may have a tendency for being late because I want to get so much done. I am not realistic about what can be finished in the time allotted, but I will try to do it anyway.
I am always on time, or early. I take things literally and when someone says I will meet you at 4 o’clock, 4 o’clock means 4 o’clock. I take it personally and feel dishonored when the people I am closest to are consistently late.

8. Your relationship to your personal space:

I like to keep things in sight, out and around. As a result, I can be messy and appear disorganized to others.
I am the pile makers. All my piles have a connection and I have an ongoing plan to get rid of the piles. And, when I do, it does not take me long to create new piles!
I know where everything is due to how I compartmentalize things in my mind. I can have a lot out and around on counters or tables, for example, but can get it cleaned up swiftly.
I like to keep things put away and out of sight, creating empty or negative space with no movement.

9. How do you feel about cleaning up your space?

I would really rather not have to take the time to clean up. I figure I can do it later, or just do it real quick, so I can go do something more fun.
When cleaning I like to take more time to go through things in detail. I like to keep things that connect me to the memories of the past.
I don’t mind cleaning up after myself because the mess enabled me to experience the result of the effort expended.
I like your space to be clean, clear and orderly.

10. Which best describes your personality?

I have an optimistic attitude, and I can see the silver lining even on a cloudy day.
I am a connector. Connecting people, ideas, places, businesses and happenings
I have an abundance of sureness about moving forward, and I inspire others to have confidence in me, even if I don’t feel confident.
I am clear and precise in my language and manner.

11. Which best describes you at work?

I have the ability to multitask extremely well, and I can jump from one idea to another in the blink of an eye.
I am methodical in my work and absorb all the details that others may not see.
I am a natural salesperson. I know how to promote and bring in the buyer. And I also know how to close the deal.
I have a keen eye that sees clearly what needs to be done to improve, perfect and streamline things and make it so others can reproduce it in a cost-effective manner.
