Achiever
SHARED THEME DESCRIPTION
People who are especially talented in the Achiever theme have a great deal of stamina and work hard.
They take great satisfaction from being busy and productive.
YOUR PERSONALIZED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS
What makes you stand out?
Chances are good that you periodically leap into the middle of difficult tasks. Perhaps you take over
projects that must be done meticulously and accurately. Occasionally you feel you are the only person who
can produce the right outcomes. Why? You likely set high standards of excellence for yourself and others.
Often you trust only yourself to reach them. By nature, you ordinarily take time and exert extra effort to
comprehend what you are reading. You probably refuse to rush through written material. Why? You likely
intend to commit to memory as many facts and concepts as possible. It’s very likely that you are quite
clever about many things. You typically outmaneuver or outthink most individuals. Why? You probably are
a lot more persistent, unyielding, and energetic than they are. Because of your strengths, you might put
forth a lot of effort to design step-by-step procedures for handling repetitious tasks. Maybe you expect
everyone to follow these rules once they are put in place. When you make a habit of using these
processes, you may reach some goals a bit more quickly, reduce certain kinds of errors, or avoid missing
particular deadlines. Instinctively, you naturally resist being held back, restrained, or controlled by people or
events. You much prefer to be in charge of situations, materials, schedules, budgets, human resources,
processes, or decisions. Waiting for someone else to issue orders or level judgments certainly is not your
forte — that is, strength.

Activator
SHARED THEME DESCRIPTION
People who are especially talented in the Activator theme can make things happen by turning thoughts into
action. They are often impatient.
YOUR PERSONALIZED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS
What makes you stand out?
It’s very likely that you empower people with your air of certitude — that is, confidence. Your very presence
reassures them that they indeed are quite ready and capable of tackling assignments, spearheading
projects, or playing key positions on a team. Driven by your talents, you notice that people heed your
demands. What you say and how you say it can even frighten and threaten people. You probably have
used this effect to influence individuals to do what you want. Because of your strengths, you often scare
people by comparing your performance to theirs. They probably grow quite edgy as your drive to be the
best becomes more evident to them. You typically take advantage of your rivals’ timidity — that is, lack of
boldness and determination. By doing so, you likely earn the best scores, ratings, or rankings. Instinctively,
you may be particularly decisive about implementing certain upgrades or enhancements. You may realize
that great ideas without action are rather meaningless. You might become frustrated with individuals who
lack the gumption — that is, boldness — to transform some of their original thoughts into tangible results.
Chances are good that you often tackle assignments with great enthusiasm and speed. Your “Let’s just do
it right now!” attitude causes many of your friends to pitch in and work alongside you. They probably share
your desire to capture topmost honors and first-place titles.

Focus
SHARED THEME DESCRIPTION
People who are especially talented in the Focus theme can take a direction, follow through, and make the
corrections necessary to stay on track. They prioritize, then act.
YOUR PERSONALIZED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS
What makes you stand out?
Chances are good that you sometimes may be bothered by people who wander aimlessly from one activity
to another or from one idea to another. Perhaps you prefer collaborating with individuals who know what
they want to accomplish in the coming weeks, months, years, or decades. When they understand how they
are going to reach each objective, you might be more inclined to partner with them. By nature, you derive
satisfaction from working with others to identify goals for individuals, yourself, or the group. You probably
want everyone to agree on one process for narrowing down a number of possible objectives to a
manageable few. Participating in orderly meetings that produce worthwhile results is a good use of your
time. You are apt to dislike chaotic, unstructured sessions where little, if anything, is accomplished. Driven
by your talents, you normally establish step-by-step performance targets for yourself. Keeping each week’s
tasks and goals in mind probably improves your chances of finishing in first place and being declared the
best. Instinctively, you sometimes become a bit frustrated with people who have few clear goals. Perhaps
these individuals remind you that ill-defined objectives seldom are realized. If this thought crosses your
mind, you might decide to concentrate more of your mental or physical energy on reaching specific goals
you have set for yourself. It’s very likely that you keep your assignments and projects on track by setting
weekly objectives. You work your plan and concentrate on your goals until you attain them.

Futuristic
SHARED THEME DESCRIPTION
People who are especially talented in the Futuristic theme are inspired by the future and what could be.
They inspire others with their visions of the future.
YOUR PERSONALIZED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS
What makes you stand out?
By nature, you channel your mental and physical energies toward what you can accomplish in the months,
years, or decades ahead. The question you must answer is this: “How far into the future can I think before
my ideas start becoming vague or uninspiring?” Instinctively, you are innovative, inventive, original, and
resourceful. Your mind allows you to venture beyond the commonplace, the familiar, or the obvious. You
entertain ideas about the best ways to reach a goal, increase productivity, or solve a problem. First, you
think of alternatives. Then you choose the best option. Because of your strengths, you look to the future
rather than review what has already occurred in your life. You see little reason to cling to the past. The
future is full of potential. You set your sights on being accomplished and successful. Driven by your talents,
you occasionally think about what you could fix or do better. Your mind might be occupied by what you can
accomplish in the coming months, years, or decades. This partially explains why you find today’s events
ordinary and less fascinating than the future. Chances are good that you invest considerable time creating
the future of your own choosing. You frequently share your ideas about what will be possible in the coming
months, years, and decades. You probably capture people’s attention whenever you describe in vivid detail
what you imagine.

Discipline
SHARED THEME DESCRIPTION
People who are especially talented in the Discipline theme enjoy routine and structure. Their world is best
described by the order they create.
YOUR PERSONALIZED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS
What makes you stand out?
By nature, you might derive great satisfaction from putting photographs in albums, books on shelves, files
in order, and/or tools on hooks. Perhaps you are not intimidated by messy drawers, disorganized financial
records, cluttered closets, or untidy study notes. Instead, you may use these opportunities to showcase
your ability to bring order to chaos. Driven by your talents, you sometimes discover ways to make people’s
daily chores easier to perform. Perhaps you identify a recurring pattern of essential steps or create
shortcuts for handling things such as paperwork, filing, inventory, or data entry. Maybe you help individuals
who are willing to use your streamlined methods. You might pay less attention to those who fuss and fume
about change. Why? They might create problems for everyone else. Chances are good that you thrive in
settings where you can accomplish things. Of course, you have your own step-by-step way of performing
repetitious tasks. As long as you can stick to your preferred plan of action, you usually enjoy handling the
details and deadlines related to jobs, chores, projects, hobbies, assignments, or errands. Because of your
strengths, you intentionally ready yourself for group meetings or discussions by carefully researching
topics, collecting materials, completing assignments, or practicing skills. Many people count on you to be
well-versed about important issues, opportunities, possible solutions, or background information. It’s very
likely that you customarily establish weekly performance targets for yourself. You organize and plan new
projects. Usually you know exactly where you are headed, how you will proceed, and when you will reach
your goal. Pushing hard for desired results energizes you.
