The Genius & Brilliance of Strengths - Part 7

We continue our series by Dr Chip Andersen.


INTELLECTION

The genius of your Intellection talents stems from the quality of your thinking. You think about ideas, concepts, and principles in great depth. It is as if you hold discussions in your mind about ideas, concepts, observations and new learnings. This results in deep learning, deep understanding, and deep appreciation for the best knowledge. Out of this deep processing, you often come to new insights and understandings. But the greatest aspect of the genius of your intellection is the wisdom that you gain from your in-depth thinking and internal discussions. You can think by yourself for hours, but never doubt what results: wisdom, clarity and a firm foundation for action planning and decision making.

LEARNER

The genius of your Learner talent begins with the fact that you love to learn in many areas. It doesn’t matter to you what you are learning, just so that you keep on learning something each and every day. But the genius of your learning doesn’t stop there. You have thought a lot about the learning process. You know how you learn and you know what best contributes to you learning effectively and efficiently. This self-understanding provides a basis for understanding and helping other learn. With little effort, you can analyze the learning habits of others and think through how they can learn most effectively. Based on this understanding of the learning process in yourself and others, you can establish ingenious programs and services to help others become better learners, high achievers, and be better prepared for the future.

MAXIMIZER

The genius of your Maximizer talent starts with what you can see in people. You can see the strengths and talents, the potentials and the capabilities, and you can see the emerging abilities within people even before they can see them. But this is only the beginning of the genius of your Maximizer talent. You can literally see what people could be like if they were to fully develop and maximize the talents, potential and emerging abilities within them. This results in you having an incredible impact in the lives of others. As you hold up pictures and mirrors of what you see in others, you help them form new concepts of themselves that build hope and motivation to achieve and be what they have the capacity to be. Moreover, you are a great “coach” in moving people to their greatest potential and in moving people into roles where their potential can be
lived out.

POSITIVITY

The genius of your Positivity talent is found in the impact that you can and will have in the lives of other people. You see the best in people. You want to bring out the best in people. You organize environments so that people can become what they are best capable of being. But you do not “sit on the sidelines” and simply hope that these good things will just happen. You get into the middle of things and stimulate people to strive for the best they can be. As a result, people became more productive, effective, and grow because of you. Your genius is found in the impact that you have on groups and individuals. Simply stated everyone gets better if you are nearby and interacting with them. As a result, you are a most valuable part of any organization and you have the talent to be a great leader, a great manager, and a great supervisor.
