What words or phrases stick out to you? How would you define each of your top 5 talents in your own words?

Futuristic- "Wouldn't if be great if" Always looking ahead. Consistency- constant balance. Achiever- constantly pushing myself. Doesn't like to settle always reaching. Discipline- follow a set routine to maintain order or balance. Harmony- agreement. Don't like to rock the boat so to speak.

Do these top 5 talent themes resonate with you? Why or why not?

I would say for the most part yes. The futuristic one I'm not a huge fan of, because my first reaction was that I'm also preoccupied with the future and can't stay in the preseent moment. That was what I immediately thought of. The other themes I think are accurate of me and paint an accurate picture.

How have you seen yourself using each of these talents? How often do you see yourself using these talents?

Absoutely I've seen myself use these talents. It's nice to have a better and professional description of each one now. Instead of a general one that you might associate and not necessarily encapsilate the entire definition. I would say I use these everyday to some degree. Sometimes more than others, and probably sometimes not at all. Now that I have a better idea and specific idea of each one I feel I can impletment them everyday.

When has it been difficult for me to be aware of this talent?

I feel I'm really frustrated and not thinking clearly then you overlook things and make stupid errors or mistakes.
