Bingo.

Add individualisation (and learner) to the mix, and I both want effective solutions (strategic, achiever, activator), but crave interaction with people (in general, someone with talents primarily from the thinking and achievement domain come to effective solutions better without having to deal with people since such people--commonly inaccurately labeled as "introverts"--work best in environments where reality can be a direct extension of their thinking.

It's pretty challenging being this specific. To dilute the specificness, though, is to lose something very effective. That's why I'm so mindful of remaining true to it--I know what it can potentially do. It's a matter of blending the specificness with the general essence of specific ideas.

(Man it's great speaking with people who know StrengthsFinder. And yes, it is a language, just as real as English or Subjectivese. ).

Thank you, everyone--you've proven very helpful. The time is now for consideration and space. I get the feeling I'll be back, but not yet.
