You have a strong Connection preference on the Perceive dimension so you possess a very clear tendency to see how things connect. Information does not remain isolated; rather your power of perception allows you to see how information, people, and situations are interrelated. In fact, you possess twin superpowers. First, you can find patterns that others may overlook, which means you excel at finding emerging trends. Second, due to your uncanny ability to find associations between seemingly (to others) unrelated concepts, you are effective at improvising, adjusting at a moment’s notice to unexpected information and unanticipated disruptions to a plan.
Connectors like yourself enjoy taking in the whole picture. You excel in systems thinking. You can analyze and understand complex systems, recognizing the ways various elements are interdependent and how they interact. You consider the broader context when synthesizing information and generating insights. Complexity does not bother you; to the contrary you enjoy the process of discovering the hidden meaning and commonalities in complex ideas and situations.
You possess a keen eye for patterns and trends. You can identify recurring themes, similarities, and discrepancies, enabling you to make connections between seemingly unrelated information that help you draw meaningful conclusions. Your powers of association enable you to almost always find a way to blend ideas together.
When you are interacting with others at home or work, it's all about uncovering connections and patterns in different perspectives or activities. Whether you’re diving into uncharted territory, planning an event that is filled with surprises, or chatting about social issues, you tend to steer the discussion towards exploring cause-and-effect relationships. You often ask others, “what if…?” to help them find their own connections and see additional possibilities.
What about work activities and family outings? Well, those become chances to explore systems in a bigger context – whether it's nature, society, or the big world out there. And it doesn't matter if you’re talking with another adult or a kid; you’re a big fan of storytelling. You love to weave intricate narratives with real or imagined characters and themes that connect. Through these experiences, those around you start picking up on patterns and trends, boosting their ability to adapt to unexpected twists in the story of life. You often find yourself creating this connection-focused journey for yourself and others to enjoy and learn from, helping them develop a keen eye for the interconnections around them.
