- Creative and inventive; I think in terms of possibility
- Practical and hands-on; I like to get things done, built, or made
- I love investigating situations – often in a research or trouble-shooting capacity, prototyping and innovative product creation
- I like getting things done, including dealing with hands-on problems or situations,
- I enjoy being outdoors and doing tasks that are associated with being outdoors or away from the office - I enjoy being a road warrior in business development
- I like working with the written word, which may involve anything from documentation to the production of marketing materials and excel at making hard-hitting presentations
- I am straightforward and find it fairly easy to speak my mind, even with superiors
- I can think outside the box, and I’m never constrained by “how things ought to be done”
- I enjoy low-key discussions, where everyone’s contribution can be heard
- I have certain abstract, personal values, which often I also show in the work I do
- I have a high energy level, and like to be busy doing things rather than thinking about them
- I’m generally logical and objective, able to get to the heart of the problem faster than people who are more emotional than I am in business situations, helps with solution creation
- I can concentrate my attentions on the task at hand
