Adaptability

You are likely to naturally put others at ease when the unexpected happens, reassuring them and reassessing the situation. Your calmness and ability to “roll with it” is a powerful quality in the midst of a crisis.

You live in the moment. You don’t see the future as a fixed destination. Instead, you see it as a place that you create out of the choices you make right now, one decision at a time. This doesn’t mean you don’t have plans. But because of your strong Adaptability, you respond willingly to the demands of the moment even if they pull you away from your plans.

You are naturally composed and levelheaded, and you rarely get flustered. You don’t resent sudden requests or unforeseen detours. You expect them. On some level, you look forward to them. Your ability to navigate change and respond quickly to uncertainty while remaining calm reassures others and builds confidence and stability during times of transition or confusion. You are, at heart, a flexible, unflappable person who can stay productive when the demands of work and life are pulling you in many different directions at once.
