You have a moderate preference for Connection on the Perceive dimension, which means you combine elements of analysis and synthesis in your approach to understanding complex information. You can identify connections and relationships between different concepts and information. Because of this tendency, you are able to see patterns that may seem hidden or obscure to others.

You and others with a moderate preference for Connection recognize the importance of a holistic perspective. You strive to understand the bigger picture and consider the broader context when synthesizing information, considering interdependency and the interactions between different components. Since you look at situations from a broader perspective, you rarely let yourself get stuck in the granular details. Or said another way, you see the forest instead of the trees.

You can bring diverse ideas and perspectives together to create a more comprehensive understanding, and turn those pieces into a vision that has meaning for others. When taking in information, your first inclination is to see how things fit together versus how things stand out as being different. Due to this preferred way of perceiving, you can recognize recurring themes, similarities, and discrepancies, which aids you in synthesizing information and drawing meaningful conclusions.

You and others with a moderate Connection preference bring to your interpersonal interactions this visionary way of seeing patterns and your big-picture lens to everyday activities. You are all about understanding the big picture, and help others with this too. You avoid getting bogged down in nitty-gritty details. Whether it's work or family time, you are likely to spice things up by introducing topics or guiding a conversation that helps everyone see the related ideas. You recognize how what is happening or what your team is doing is similar to what other teams or families experience. You enjoy finding the connections between your personal experiences and information you’ve read about or discussed with others.

With this visionary lens, you share your big-picture, holistic perspectives with those around you, including your colleagues and family members, fostering a tendency to see how everything is interconnected in the world. You bring a curious vibe to the table as you seek out similarities, and make everyone in your circle feel like together you’re playing a game of connecting the dots.
