In a professional environment, individuals with Trait 61 activated in their Business Sociology Career Design Chart bring unique insights and fresh perspectives to the team. This is the energy for deep introspection and self-awareness. As a team member, because you are able to see beneath the surface, you understand the deeper dynamics and are able to provide incredibly innovative pathways forward. It’s your innate ability and inner drive to seek out the truth that makes you valuable in any field or position that calls for deep thinking and contemplation including research and development, psychology, strategic planning, and therapy for examples.
In your workplace, you bring fresh impulses to discussions, strategies, or creative processes. Teams that provide space for reflection and openness create the best conditions for you to fully display and share your strengths. Your best work comes when you have the freedom to pursue creative and visionary ideas without having to deliver immediate results. You are especially valuable in projects that require innovative concepts, as you often connect the dots in unexpected ways and bring new perspectives into play.
Others appreciate your ability to connect big visions with clear and understandable details that make the next step easier, you set them up for success!

An environment that supports your thinking motivates you to develop and share bold ideas. You help others expand their perspectives, promoting new ways of thinking and behaving. Your gift is not necessarily in solving the problem, but in your ability to raise new questions and spark thinking processes.
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
You contribute to the team more so by asking profound questions rather than providing answers when asked for your input. Notice I stated, “when asked”. Your insights are so impactful that they are best received after being asked for as opposed to volunteered or freely offered. This is because others have to ready themselves to received your transformational inspirations. Additionally, your inner knowing are very unique to you so there may take a lot of effort to communicate your insights in a way that other can understand. It’s nearly impossible to explain pure genius sometimes so circumstances where you experience isolation or being misunderstood may occur. You can minimize this or general resistance by waiting for an invitation from those who want to hear what you have to share before you do so. Once your insights are shared and applied, it can serve as a catalyst for breakthroughs on a project.
Ask yourself:
Am I sure that my thoughts are based on truth, or am I making assumptions and jumping to conclusions?
How can I best use my thinking as a resource for others instead of engaging in conjecture and attempting solve the unsolvable?
