You think independently and unconventionally. You still check for yourself what everyone thinks is right. Solutions often come to you in a flash, as if out of nowhere.

You are fascinated by technology, science, social issues and ideas for the future. You like to think in systems and contexts.

If you are convinced of an idea, you stick to it, even in the face of resistance.

This is how you speak

You speak matter-of-factly, originally and often in a surprising way. Your thought processes are not always easy to understand, but they are rarely boring.

In groups, you bring new perspectives and enjoy discussing ideas that could change the world. On the other hand, you prefer to discuss personal feelings at a distance.

The task of this position is to combine one's own inventiveness with openness to other perspectives and with warmth in conversation.
