My Core Values

I am the cornerstone, and my core capacity is Inspiration. I am committed to giving and receiving inspiration in all its forms. I am constantly working to know and understand the truth about others and myself. My commitment to these capacities is so strong that I rely upon the strategies of this capacity set even when these strategies may not be the most effective. My best successes will be realized in specialized fields where the strategies of this capacity set are usually effective and are required most of the time.

I am willing to risk myself in thought and action. I have the ability to help people feel hopeful and courageous. Motivating others with my visions and ideas is very satisfying. Talking with others is my way of learning and teaching. Something new and inspiring every day is the spice of my life. I seldom feel defeated; I see good potential in most situations. Free and open discussion is a major element in my leadership style.

I thrive on new opportunities, especially if I participate in creating the change process. Charm and enthusiasm are part of my arsenal for success. Too much formality is boring and restrictive. I like a new charge in my life, and I like to be in charge of others. I like to trust people and to share myself with them freely. I like to have a good sense of connection between what I am doing today and what I see in my future. Absolute proof, knowledge, and understanding are not required for me to act.

Nothing feels right when the people I value are distant or are in conflict. I have a natural enthusiasm and like to be in situations that are fully engaging and energized. I want to receive good rewards and appreciation for the time and energy spent. No potential plan, idea, or possibility gets me. A core strategy for me is to work effectively with others. Being acknowledged as a friend is important to me. I like to work, and others enjoy working with me.

I share my knowledge and information with others; I enjoy it, and others appreciate it. I am at home with intangibles and creative ideas. I am good at getting others to work for and with me. Choosing my words carefully works well for me. My commitment to others and to my own life is an encouragement to others. I need to see people and things as they really are.

My cornerstone core capacity is Wisdom. Understanding and compassion are central to my life strategy.

My Innovator capacities are strong enough to bring balance into my life. Learning to shift my strategy to this capacity set in times of high opportunity or during conflicts will contribute significantly to my success. I strive to cause people and things to function well together. I never quit. I like to communicate with visuals and descriptions. My willingness to see things through and wait things out is a primary asset. If different things can be brought together from various resources, I will do it. I consistently observe and measure the worth of people and things. The development of effective responses to situations is one of my primary contributions.

I see and understand the relative worth of people and things. People see my ingenuity and resourcefulness. I pride myself on seeing and understanding people and situations. It is important for me to watch, look, and listen before I act. Sometimes, this is hard. I can always see another way to put things together. I have wit and creativity in my thinking. Complicated situations and problems are not a threat to me.

Finding the best solution is one of my primary contributions. I like to consider all the options. Others look to me for my quick and responsive mind. I like difficult situations and challenging questions. Rapid and clever exchange of ideas is a personal joy and a method of work for Me. I am able to see the ways things are, and I know what to do about it. I am a valuable resource for leading people toward the right ideas and the right direction. I use everything available to meet requirements. I value and rely upon my mental abilities.

My knowledge is generally available to others. I like to provide others with proven ideas and methodology. I care deeply when situations or people's behaviors are unfair or when others use my knowledge incorrectly. Having all of the information is important to me, even the small things. I do what I say I will do. I like steady, solid situations with limited change. The reliability of my words and actions is critical to my sense of self-respect.

When things get messy, I may get testy. I enjoy being the source of information and proven methodology. Once started, I don't give up easily. I surround myself with facts, figures, and data. People should obey the law and stay within social conventions.

You do not rely significantly on Builder capacities to create success. You like to work, and you admire others who work. There are a few situations in which I feel I need to improve. I use my power, physical and personal, to get what I want. Accomplishing tasks now is a primary drive for me. I pride myself in knowing what to do. Things go best for me when I am responsible for results. Starting new projects and ventures makes me happy. I like to set things in motion. I want the things I do to make a tangible difference. Knowing the cost and the gain for all actions is essential to me.

So many people just don't get it, or me, for that matter. Life and people are not that hard, but they can be difficult to deal with sometimes. I will find what I am looking for, and I will be able to enjoy that.
