    * Search out and request ideas from others to stimulate your thinking.

    According to this quiz I am not a good salesman so would be unable to sell your woodwork. My hand is not steady so I could not cut the groove. All this strategic thinking but few clear ways to implement irl...so many obstacles. blah There is a disconnect somewhere between my st and communication skills. I will find a way to merge them. It may all come together on my deathbed. Hindsight is 20/20.

    I was sort of surprised to see "Leadership" as one of my top strengths. Though it's true I like to be independent and dislike having someone "above" me giving me orders. (Te PoLR)
    I do enjoy making use of my Social instinct and directing people in groups on occasion.
