REALIZE WHAT IS DRIVING YOUR MINDSET

  1. You are driven to ask questions and to seek a deeper level of understanding than what appears on the surface.
  2. You use the questions what, where, when, how, and who to go from the surface of what is presented to a deeper understanding. Your mind works like a tree and the questions and their answers lead to deeper questions.
  3. You are deeply interested and without prompting you naturally want to understand how it all works and/or are taking in all of the nuances.

RESOLVE BALANCE YOUR STRENGTHS

  1. Invite surprise and delight.
  2. Explore new things, a variety of sense, sights, sounds, sensations that you haven't experienced yet.
  3. Always explore the edges of what is known. Look for what you don't know.
  4. Ask lots of questions from a delightful place of surprise, and people will catch on and begin asking the same types of questions.
  5. Once you discover something, communicate it to others. Make the connection of how your discovery adds value and how it can lead to constructive insight or action.
  6. Acknowledge your sources; make them valuable contributors to your discovery.
