Thinkers at Work

Thinkers gravitate toward work that appeals to their ability to analyze problems logically and make objective decisions. They enjoy working with colleagues who are just as competent, skilled, and reasonable as they are. If they don’t respect a colleague’s abilities, they have difficulty trusting that person. Thinkers find employment easily since, in most organizations, thinking is the accepted mode of decision-making. They tend to do well in their jobs or careers. For them, money is a measure of success and enables them to exercise power and control.

Because Thinkers have high expectations of themselves, learning a new skill can be frustrating until they’re able to perform up to their standards. Once they’ve achieved this comfort level, they enjoy the challenge of solving problems, the tougher the better. Thinkers are good at analyzing and assessing objectives, setting priorities and goals, and organizing facts or ideas into logical sequences. They’re also adept at identifying what is inconsistent, inefficient, or illogical.

Thinkers tend to define their success and happiness by what they do in the world. Their self-esteem comes from being capable and competent and accomplishing the things they set their minds to do. Partly because they themselves are capable of high achievement and partly because they lack empathy for those in different circumstances, Thinkers believe that everyone can make something of themselves if they just work hard enough.

Since they fully expect everyone to perform competently (including themselves), Thinkers seldom see the need to congratulate or praise anyone for a job well done. On the other hand, they can be quick to tell others where they need to improve.

Thinkers tend to form and rely on their own opinions independent of the reactions of others. They’re also more capable of developing an independent image of their self-worth and to determine when they’ve done something well.
