Andrew Guerra Strengths

Deliberative

Choose a career in which you and others can benefit from your careful thinking and deliberation.

You may want to work in roles that require research and analysis of information to plan wise actions or gain new understandings.

Attend all lectures and class sessions — make sure you don’t miss anything. Be thorough in your preparation for a class by reading ahead and reviewing class notes to avoid being caught off guard.

Know your reading pace, and set aside plenty of time to finish reading assignments. Take notes on what you read, and study your notes for exams.

Work extra problems just to be sure you understand the materia

Command

Leverage your persuasiveness when choosing a career. Consider fields such as law, entrepreneurship, sales, politics, education, medicine, and ministry.

Subtopic

Restorative

Subtopic

Analytical

Refuse to sacrifice your passion for a field because others say it does not require linear, sequential thinking. Prove them wrong.

Notice the subtle nuances of a subject. Question the authors’ conclusions. Flag topics for scrutiny. Refuse to accept blindly whatever appears on the printed page.

Break down situations. How is the same set of facts likely to be interpreted by someone older than you? Younger than you? From a different cultural, ethnic, religious, socio-economic, or racial background?

Examine data, collect facts, and read material for discussions. Anticipate problems. Ask questions to discover others’ perspectives on issues. Clarify your own position.

Opt for jobs that allow you to make decisions based on your evaluation of facts, data, tangible evidence, circumstantial evidence, and research findings.

Ideation

Find work in which others like your ideas and in which you are expected to keep learning.

Build on your creativity to find a career that encourages you to think freely and express your ideas.

As you read an idea, use it as a stimulus for your own further thought and creativity.

Allow yourself ample time for thinking. If you rush through a reading assignment, you are less likely to be engaged with it.

Brainstorm with your friends about topics you are studying. Let your mind “go wild,” knowing that you can sort through the ideas later.
