Vivian Chen

1. Inclusive (70)

You include and welcome people to whatever you are doing and make them feel welcome. This way, everybody feels like part of the group, and the group benefits from all their support. You are sure that deep down, we are all alike, and therefore it doesn't make sense to judge or exclude other people.

Strength: You have the ability to make everyone feel welcome, and as they belong. You don't give anybody a special treatment and are good at keeping a positive team spirit.

Challenge: You have a difficult time (de)selecting people, and it can affect you if a person leaves the group - especially due to cut downs. You can lose focus on the objective due to valuing team spirit and relationships higher than the goal, and you most likely won't enjoy working in competitive environments.

Insight: Remind yourself who is relevant to include at what times throughout the process. It can quickly kill the effectiveness by bringing in too many opinions to the table too early. Don't take it personally, if somebody forgets to include you - Often it wasn't due to bad intentions.

2. Organising (65)

You are an expert in coordinating people and information. Be able to manage complex assignments and finding perfect configurations motivate you. You are driven by responsibility and being allowed to lead and delegate tasks between team members. You work efficiently, flexibly, and can adjust to solve the assignment in the most effective way.

Strength: Your talent makes you good at managing projects. It lets you focus and take action on many tasks at once, and that ensures you always have an overview. It gives you the ability to resolve the confusion by devising new options and finding new paths.

Challenge: You are challenged by not being the leader, and you will try to control things that you are not responsible for managing. You are not easy to lead because you are sure that the solutions you see are better and will, therefore, be mods essential to implement or take action on.

Insight: You have the overview, so be sure to use it. If you are not in charge, offer your insights as a gesture instead of forcing it through - the person in charge may have some information that you do not have.

3. Empathic (63)

You can sense the emotions of the people around you and are driven by understanding those people you interact with. You can see the world through their eyes, and without necessarily condoning their choices, you can understand them.

Strength: You have the instinctive ability to understand and anticipate others' needs, feelings, and desires. This ability makes you good at addressing sensitive and critical matters and help people find the right words and sentences to express their feelings.

Challenge: Your empathic talent makes you sometimes get too close to people. Because you have the ability to understand others, it may be difficult for you not to take responsibility for how they feel or not to act on their emotions.

Insight: Assess if you have the mental capacity to take responsibility for other people's emotions. It is okay to put yourself first and prioritize your well being. Be aware that your focus on others' feelings is not an escape path from your own.

4. Strategic (63)

You have a distinct way of thinking, and you always look at things from a strategic point of view. This perspective allows you to see patterns, play out scenarios, predict potential obstacles, and draw out the best plan to get to your destination.

Strength: You are very good at making contingency plans, playing out multiple scenarios in your head, and asking yourself "what if.." and "then we could.." to find the best alternative. This also makes you a good advisor. You are good at the political "game" because you see the different paths and how they lead to different outcomes.

Challenge: Your biggest challenge is becoming so political that you end up undermining others and forgetting the objective. You desire to think scenarios through and build plans can stop you from acting, so you become the ever drawing-board.

Insight: You will see repercussions more clearly than others, so be sure not to belittle other people's suggestions because you see something they do not see. Contribute with advice, and instead of only pointing out the obstacles, match them with solutions.

5. Charming (63)

You enjoy the challenge of meeting new people, getting them to like you, and winning them over. You thrive in a social setting and derive energy from making new connections. In your world, strangers don't exist; only friends you have not encountered yet.

Strength: You are good at creating new connections and charming them to like you. You have the ability to meet people at their eye level and establish a good dialogue. These attributes also make you very convincing and incline you to build a great network.

Challenge: Your eagerness to quickly get to know people and win them over can seem superficial or manipulative to many people.

Insight: Put yourself in a position where you can build an extensive network. Maintain your network and use it well; this will bring you much energy. Give yourself a small moment to think your arguments through before starting a conversation to win somebody over.

6. Analysing (62)

Your talent makes you value knowledge, information, and sufficient data before making a decision. It is your basis for thoroughness and precision. It also makes you critical, challenging, and demanding of evidence towards other people's decisions. You are driven by things that are or can be thoroughly analyzed and well worked out.

Strength: You discover patterns and how things connect. You get energy from understanding how these affect each other. You are good at familiarizing yourself with figures and enjoy doing preliminary analysis. This desire to analyse also makes you likely to discover areas that have not been validated yet.

Challenge: You are slow at getting started and taking action because you want the analysis and data to be in place. You may be too rigorous and tend to overanalyze decisions. Your tendency to challenge decisions can stop progress for you and your team.

Insight: Consult others about when your analysis is thorough enough to ensure you also take action. Remember that other people don't necessarily think as analytical as you and can form conclusions through other methods.

7. Assessing (57)

You are careful and vigilant because you know the world is unpredictable and not in order. You sense risks and weigh the relative impact before you take any action. The assessing talent gives you a serious and considerate approach to life.

Strength: You can spot pitfalls in plans and identify and assess possible risks in the future. This ability makes you good at avoiding or solving issues before they arrive. You dare to be critical and point out errors that can prevent problems down the line.

Challenge: Your serious approach and your focus on what can go wrong will often make you perceived as negative or pessimistic. You are often too careful with decisions because you see what will go wrong instead of potential possibilities. You don't give praise or much recognition to colleagues because you tend to focus on the errors and pitfalls.

Insight: Force yourself to praise people in your team and work on understanding their positive sides. Consult for others' opinions on the risks you see, to ensure they don't paralyze you. Bring more value in your feedback to others by communicating the opportunities for avoiding potential issues or find solutions instead of only presenting the problems.

8. Targeted (55)

You are always in the pursuit of achieving or accomplishing goals. You work hard and get things done. Your talent explains your drive, and it pushes you to do more and to achieve more. By being targeted, you focus on the goal and what is essential to achieve. Once you meet your goal, you quickly set up the next objective to pursue.

Strength: Your talent fills you with the energy needed for working long hours without burning out. It is the trait you always can rely on to get you started with new tasks, objectives, and challenges. It is your power supply that sets the pace and defines the level of productivity for you individually and in your workgroup.

Challenge: You need to achieve something every day, or you will start feeling a sense of dissatisfaction or discontent. No matter how restless you feel, you sometimes deserve a day off. Others may feel pushed aside or even stepped on with your relentlessness to reach your goals.

Insight: Be sure to align objectives with your manager, partner, or team to ensure you accomplish priority goals and do not diverge towards other tasks due to your restlessness for achieving something. Accept your restlessness by understanding your targeted talent and remember to celebrate your victories before moving onto the next goal.

9. Improving (55)

You always strive for excellence and resent mediocrity. You are driven by taking something good and making it superb - whether it is your skills, others' abilities, solutions to tasks, or anything else. You prefer to work with other highly skilled people to capitalize on their strengths, and you are motivated to deliver the highest quality of work.

Strength: You have a critical but creative mind that always seeks out opportunities for improvements and has a desire to raise the bar or push it further. You love performing at your maximum, and your level of ambition can inspire others.

Challenge: You don't deal well with chaos as it hides what is good and doesn't focus on making anything superb. You tend to be restless and unsatisfied because your critical mind always looks for areas to improve. It can be challenging for you to find the first innovative idea as your creativity builds on existing work.

Insight: Understand that not everybody sees the same possibilities for improving as you do, which may be why they don't understand the need you feel. Create an overview or a backlog of all the ideas you have for improvement to assess what is most important.

10. Responsible (54)

You take psychological ownership for every task that is expected of you, and you feel emotionally bound to follow through to completion - Excuses are unacceptable. You have high standards, so you always deliver at least what is expected, and you get the things done.

Strength: You have a high work ethic and are willing to do anything to deliver what you have promised. You are very dependable and are driven to take on responsibility.

Challenge: Your willingness to volunteer may lead you to take too much on your plate at once. This willingness can force you to work too hard to get everything done, or you will end up not delivering what you have promised. Your high standards can make you spend too much time on a single assignment if you don't align expectations from the beginning.

Insight: Always consider if it is the responsible thing to do towards you and your employer to take more responsibility on your shoulders. By being responsible for too many tasks can exhaust you mentally and physically.

11. Individualising (54)

You are fascinated by the differences in people and can notice the unique qualities of each individual. You can instinctively observe how each person is motivated, builds relationships, and thinks, thus their potential and opportunities for development.

Strength: You have the ability to identify each individual's strengths and potential. This ability makes you able to accommodate your behaviour to each person and excellent at spotting talent and uncovering potential. You can select and organize teams so everyone can contribute the most.

Challenge: You are not good at working in rigid and controlled environments where rules dictate people's behaviour. Your ability to vary your behaviour to each individual may be perceived as negative and untrustworthy.

Insight: Remember, many people expect fairness among individuals, so if you choose to treat everyone uniquely, you should be explicit about it. Another way for you to derive energy is to help write desired actions or goals down for others, as it will help you hold them accountable.

12. Mediating (53)

You look for agreements and common grounds because there is little to be gained from conflicts and friction, so you prefer keeping them to a minimum. You find it much more essential to create harmony and cooperation.

Strength: You create consensus and peace where there is war or controversy. You think about the team before you think about yourself and have an easy time finding a compromise that can create harmony.

Challenge: You have a difficult time around conflicts and confrontations, and you tend to modify your own opinion for the service of harmony willingly. You can have a hard time making uncomfortable decisions or being direct in interactions with others.

Insight: Play the devil's advocate with yourself - If you do not settle this discussion or avoid this confrontation, will this be better for the harmony in the team? When people are arguing, use your talent to draw more people from your team into the discussion - it is easier to reach consensus when more opinions/options are available.
