You're an excellent planner... Your opinions are treasured and trusted.
Your Communication Style
The Ultimate Planner
You are admired by many because of your thinking skills and the way you skillfully design your life and the steps in the lives of others. You're an excellent planner. Your opinions are treasured and trusted. Most people know that before you do anything or advise others about anything, you've reached broadly and delved deeply into the history and facts. Everyone realizes that you are conscientious and respectful of doing the right thing in the right way.
Checks and Balances
Yes, yours is a life of checks and balances to the smallest decimal place. No detail is overlooked. You only take precise steps that are planned out well in advance. Thinking and logic are supreme. Knowledge is the foundation. Everything is a chess match at the Masters level!
Usually you're not a risk taker. It doesn't mean that you're not adventurous. It means that before you take the first step, every possible move and option that can be controlled has been thought through thoroughly. You only like to deal with probabilities in your favor at 99.44 percent. Joy for you is minimizing luck
How You Learn
You are a lifelong learner. Everything is absorbed like a blotter by your lock-step memory. Then, it is carefully processed and contextually stored with other pertinent information. When the need arises, you retrieve and reprocess the information for appropriate applications. Rarely does your memory or logical use of stored information fail you or others.
How You Interact with Others
You're basically an introverted and low-key person who likes everything to be orderly and impersonal. Reserved, proper and calm are words that are often used to describe you. You usually don't like to interact verbally or personally with other people. You are independent and can be a loner very easily. Sometimes, your best friend is your computer and its Internet access.
In a group setting you're mostly very quiet and hardly volunteer to speak out unless you have something very pertinent to say. Even then, you are reticent at best. However, if someone you respect directly asks you for your opinion, you'll answer if you deem the subject in question worthy of your attention. Then, and only then, will you respond to that in a thorough manner. If you are pushed to explain even more, you'll use historical and logical explanations, including answering all of the possible questions as to why your responses are correct. Thus, you'll not leave any rational leaf unturned, and immediately you'll halt the possibility that someone else may question you again about this subject area.
Exploring Other Options
Every once in a while, your awareness and thinking processes change. It usually depends upon the situation presented to you. Your thought process shifts from its logical, analytic and detailed state towards a combination of optional thinking, creativity and synthetic wholes. Here, paradoxes are accepted and enjoyed instead of being scientifically rejected; chaos is the basis for reality. Emotional and rational thought are intertwined to solve problems and to strategically plan.
Shifting Interactions
Also, you're able to relate to people on a personal basis rather than an impersonal, factual basis. Now you can explore yourself and others on deeper and broader levels. Your conversations become more fluid, heartfelt and exploratory. You are able to accept inconsistencies of another's thoughts and feelings. When you're in this place, people search you out to discover more about themselves or their deep-seated problems. You seem so much more aware of what is happening rather than what should be happening.
Those who know you over a long period of time welcome these shifts. They accept and anticipate these changes as positive behavioral outcomes. Others, who know you formally, are initially perplexed when this happens. They may seem uncomfortable because your extremely consistent, rational behavior has been transformed into high-risk ideas. What they have expected is not consistent with what has happened previously.
Your Style as a Student
For you, knowledge and ideas are supreme! You are a deep thinking student who can never have too much information. You spend most of your time asking the questions, "Why?" and "How?" about what you see, hear or read, and are determined to do whatever you can to find out the answer. Whatever you are learning about has to be analytic, systematic, and have a relevant and practical basis in order for you to take it seriously. If you do not find the information logical, you may at times rely on intuition, creativity, debate, the opinion of others or outside research to validate its importance. Always in search of a logical conclusion, you dwell between the worlds of the probable and the possible.
Traditional learning (lectures and reading) comes easily to you if the lecturer or books are factual, data-based, detailed and historical in their approach. Ironically, alternative learning (sensory, visionary) can also come easily to you because you are capable of organizing abstractions into a logical whole. You pride yourself on being an excellent, focused and disciplined learner. You are usually prepared, punctual, organized and precise. You are a superb listener who logically categorizes everything, easily memorizes things, zeroes in on the details and builds your own practical conclusions. Then, you check your conclusions repeatedly in many different ways. It is not that you are distrusting or think they are wrong; it is that you are a truly deep thinker in the pursuit of all forms of accurate knowledge.
Your learning style tends to be Logical, Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic and Intrapersonal.
Your Learning Preferences
For you, everything has its proper place, systematic methods and specific timelines. You also tend to be quietly introverted, or at least heavily focused. You have little tolerance for nonsense and disorganization. However, you appreciate creative and far-reaching ideas. This is why you as a student are a very careful, hesitant decision-maker who does not appreciate being rushed into giving an answer or pushed into completion of a project within an unreasonable timeline. It's not that you don't know the work or can't work under pressure. You just simply must weigh the numbers and raise questions about any assumptions. You know from experience that things done at the last minute are prone to mistakes, and you don't like mistakes at all, especially if you're making them. That's because you are always thinking rationally and deeply about everything.
You thrive on assignments with concise structure and discrete steps. First A, then B, then C... Even when in your more creative mode, you find it important to categorize and reference facts and data, using bullet points, table of contents, footnotes, indexes, and as many resources as possible. When you are overloaded with an abundance of information, the logician in you keeps it all tied together in an organized manner. Graphs and charts are helpful in support of your facts, as are colored diagrams. However, you can also manage without them. A student like you can never have too much information, and you know just how to keep track of it and present it all to make it all clear in your mind and the minds of others.
