You may be interpreting Significance a bit too generally. The label "significance" points to Steve's unique talent "tapestry" of neuron connections in Steve's brain, so you can't really consider it in isolation.
I can't be certain, but I think for Steve significance means that he focuses on the big picture on a macro scale, not just the micro scale. I guess what I'm saying is that "stretching" talent theme descriptions such as significance doesn't seem to work too well unless it is actually grounded in your talent "tapestry".
For example, one of my talent themes is Achiever. The basic definition is that I have this feeling of discontent most of the time and I have a drive to get things done. While that may be true, especially when you factor in my Activator theme (a need to start things immediately), in practice, it doesn't work that way. Why? Because I have more then 1 talent (as do we all). Since Strategic is my #1 strength, I'll only be interested in starting something if I feel it's significant (a mixture of Strategic and Achiever, in that I'm able to look at many possible strategies and pick the most optimal one because my Achiever theme drives me to constantly try to improve my selection). Only when I feel something is worthy will I want to start doing anything with it.
