Strengths-Ideation

When I first took Strengths Finder Ideation was my number two strength.  When I took it again 4 years later--it was number 6 and as I read it is not uncommon for secondary strengths to move up and down in your scores.  Still, I beleiver that IDEATION is one of my key gifts.  I do identify with the description below as I love to think conceptually and mull over small ideas and see where they lead.
Ideation
  • You are fascinated by ideas. What is an idea? An idea is a concept, the best explanation of the most events. 
  • You are delighted when you discover beneath the complex surface an elegantly simple concept to explain why things are the way they are. 
  • An idea is a connection. Yours is the kind of mind that is always looking for con- nections, and so you are intrigued when seemingly disparate phenomena can be linked by an obscure con- nection. 
  • An idea is a new perspective on familiar challenges. 
  • You revel in taking the world we all know and turning it around so we can view it from a strange but strangely enlightening angle. 
  • You love all these ideas because they are profound, because they are novel, because they are clarifying, because they are contrary, because they are bizarre. For all these reasons you derive a jolt of energy whenever a new idea occurs to you. 
  • Others may label you creative or original or conceptual or even smart. Perhaps you are all of these. Who can be sure? What you are sure of is that ideas are thrilling. And on most days this is enough.
What are your strengths?
