Significance

You have an external pull that keeps you reaching and striving for excellence. When properly harnessed, this pull can lead the team to greater heights of achievement.

Significance icon

You want other people to see you as significant. You want to be heard, to stand out, to be known and appreciated — especially for your unique strengths. You need others to admire you as credible, professional and successful. Likewise, you want to associate with others who are credible, professional and successful. If they aren’t, you will push them until they are — or you will move on.

As an independent spirit, you want your work to be a way of life rather than a job, and you want the freedom to do things your way. Your yearnings are intense, and your life is filled with goals, achievements or qualifications you crave. Whatever your focus, your Significance theme will keep pulling you upward, away from the mediocre toward the exceptional. It is the theme that keeps you reaching.

Take Action

Look for opportunities to do important work where you can help others raise the bar.
