You think in clear, practical terms. You are particularly interested in theories when they prove effective in everyday life. Before you believe something, you want to see it, touch it or experience it yourself.

Your thinking is patient and thorough. You work your way into a topic step by step and build solid knowledge.

You are less comfortable with quick changes of direction and hectic discussions. You need time to process new things.

This is how you speak

You speak calmly, thoughtfully and often in a pleasant voice. You choose your words carefully and prefer to say less and instead say something that has weight.

If you are convinced of something, you stick with it. Good arguments can convince you, but pressure cannot.

Learning and decision making

You learn best with all your senses and at your own pace: with examples, repetition and practical application. You make decisions slowly, but they are usually well thought out and last a long time.

Where things can get difficult

Your consistency can turn into stubbornness. Once you have formed an opinion, it is difficult for you to change it, even if new facts support it. Sometimes the fear of change also slows you down.

The task of this position is to value your own thoroughness while remaining open to new perspectives.
