3. What does that mean?

Restorative: Adept at dealing with problems; Good at figuring out what is wrong and resolving it
Intellection: Characterized by intellectual activity

4. What does that mean?
Futuristic: Inspired by the future and what could be; Inspire others with their visions of the future
Individualization: Intrigued with the unique qualities in each person; Have a gift for figuring out how people who are different can work together productively

5. How do these look in my life?
Input: Even as a toddler, I have always been inquisitive and have had a craving to know more. Whether I am reading, googling, making lists or plans, or asking questions, it seems that I spend a great deal of time acquiring, often useless, information.
Restorative: Though I struggle with problem solving in areas regarding mathematics, my life problem solving skills are quite adept. Whenever there is a problem or conflict of any kind, I seek to discover the innermost cause of whatever it is and conjure a creative way to solve it.

6. What do these look like in my life?
Intellection: I feel as if I actually think a great deal more than I seek to acquire new information though. Never am I not thinking- It’s almost a problem. I like to think deeply, and philosophy is interesting to me. My mind is constantly wandering and wondering.
Futuristic: Also since a child, I have always been in a constant state of planning and looking ahead. It has not been an inhibition to my current life circumstances; Thinking about all of the possibilities of the future just excites me. I love planning things and coming up with new ideas. My family and friends probably grow tired of this, but there is always some kind of “someday” idea that I am sharing with them.

7. What do these look like in my life?
Individualization: Finally, my last but seemingly most accurate strength is individualization. My favorite people and the ones I tend to seek out are those with some sort of unique qualities that make them different from everybody else. Conformity is not something I aim for. Situations in which all kinds and types of people can come together and achieve something or just enjoy each other’s company is so beautiful to me. Additionally, I myself relish allowing my own individuality.
