Maria is a Thinker
- Intellect: Thinker
- Skills: Communicator
- Emotions: Instructor
- Dynamism: Innovator
Your Core Skills
Extremely confident and articulate, leadership roles come naturally to you. You enjoy facilitating group activities and are at your most comfortable when you feel that the channels of communication are open. You also have a very academic side and enjoy exercising your analytical brain. You like facts and figures. But you also have a sparky creative streak.
Potential Areas Of Weakness
You can be very single-minded and don't always involve others in your thinking. There's a chance that you may come across as overly confident and arrogant. Good leadership involves listening as much as talking. It's important that your desire for process and rigorousness don't handicap your ability to work dynamically.
Areas You Might Want To Work On
- try to be more patient with people who may not find communicating as easy or natural as you
- push yourself by taking on projects of a more practical nature
- be more open to criticism

Your Detailed Personality Assessment
Winning the respect and loyalty of your colleagues comes easily to you. You feel at home in the limelight and find great stimulation from enthusing and inspiring those around you. But how often do you sit down and really think about ways that you could use your wonderful unique skills to truly make the impact that you would like? You enjoy a challenge and always rise to the occasion so make sure that your attitude stays fresh so that you perform to your highest abilities in everything that you do.
When it comes to leadership, you're high-powered and ambitious. You want to be respected for your opinions and like the idea of using your position to motivate and inspire others.
You have a deep connection to your spiritual self. This balanced outlook is an extremely powerful force in your life. You have a healthy sense of perspective and are driven by a strong moral value system.
You're quite a maverick at heart. Not for you the traditional paths of career development. You have true entrepreneurial flair and are always thinking of new and original ways to get ahead in life. It's good to keep things fresh. You like variety and may feel frustrated in a work set-up which limits your potential for self-expression. Being your own boss is definitely appealing to you.
You're feeling very fired-up right now. Life is fast-paced and hard to keep up with. Your mind is often racing and you may sometimes feel as if you have too much to deal with. But you also get a real buzz from feeling super-charged - it's a kind of addiction and makes you feel alive. It's not surprising that you're feeling upbeat. You're feeling very relaxed about work and that sense of ease impacts the rest of your life.
The way you approach each day can have huge implications for your success in the workplace. Bouncing out of bed with a spring in your step doesn't exactly come naturally to you. You sometimes find it difficult to get moving in the mornings. It might be worth trying to reinvigorate your morning routine so that getting out of bed is more of a pleasure than a battle! That way you can face the day firing on all cylinders. If you haven't already, why not try exploring some evening relaxation techniques that might help you get the rest you need - whether it's yoga, a soak in the tub or even a full-on gym session. It could make all the difference.
The Future
You may still be a student but you're smart to be thinking ahead and checking out your career options. You're about to embark on a really exciting time in your life - and there's going to be lots of decisions to make that will shape your future. You definitely seem to know the meaning of positive mental attitude. You're full of vital energy and enthusiasm for the challenges ahead.
