Intellection

You think deeply and examine all sides of an idea or an argument. This makes you a valuable resource for your coworkers as you provide logic and thoughtfulness that help the team make good decisions.

You like to think. You like exercising the “muscles” of your brain, stretching them in multiple directions. Your need for mental activity may be focused. For example, you might be trying to solve a problem, develop an idea or understand another person’s actions. Sometimes, you may think about practical matters such as the events of the day or a conversation you plan to have. The exact focus will depend on your other strengths.

There might be times when your mental activity lacks focus. Intellection does not dictate what you think about, just that you like to think. You are introspective, and you enjoy time alone to reflect. You are your own best companion as you ask yourself questions and experiment with answers to see how they sound. This musing will always be a natural part of your life.

Take Action

Think deeply. Think often.
