Pit yourself against a fellow student to increase your chances of being the first person to finish the paper, test, or project.

Find organizations that need your planning abilities.
Choose classes that emphasize alternative ideas or solutions.

Choose classes that promote discussion, bringing out varying beliefs from students.
Create small support systems, using your Individualization talents to determine who might benefit from another’s insights.
As you read about well-known people, make a chart listing specific differences among them. This will hone your observation talents.
A career in education would directly use your talents because you would value and treat each student as an individual.
As a supervisor or manager, you would help individuals determine what they could do what they do best on a regular basis. Your evaluations would be based on who the person is and on what he or she had accomplished.
