The Razzle Dazzle Strength
WOO® is an acronym for Winning Others Over. It is a charming and sociable strength seen all over Hollywood, reality TV and pop culture. If you ever wonder how a certain celebrity is so popular with so little talent, you could very likely be overlooking their WOO...
The Moneyball Strength
Genius by birth. Grumpy by choice. I saw this funny saying on a t-shirt and thought it might as well be an Analytical® moniker. Opposite of Positivity®, Analytical® loves the intricacies of data and numbers, and how they can be identified to create more...
The Fairness Strength
With Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg ushering legal opinions from her hospital bed, it has me thinking about the Consistency® strength. Whether it is Constitutional law or your own personal code of ethics, Consistency® loves when things can be objectively...
