For this article I was assuming people were already familiar with the 2 strength assessments. As for the significance of the arrangement: these were just examples from people I have coached - how they see their strengths combining. In the Maximizer example this person saw her other 4 strengths working together to ultimately "take something good and make it even better" (definition of a Maximizer).

Input, Learner, etc. are names from the StrengthsFinder instrument -- talent themes identified by the Gallup organization after analyzing interviews with more than 2 million people. A good source is Tom Rath's book, StrengthsFinder 2.0. As for the significance of the arrangement, good question! I expect the single vertical line in the Achiever box is an artifact of PowerPoint... Kathryn Chuck,

Is Curiosity one of your character strengths?

Input, Learner, etc. are names from the StrengthsFinder instrument — talent themes identified by the Gallup organization after analyzing interviews with more than 2 million people. A good source is Tom Rath’s book, StrengthsFinder 2.0.

As for the significance of the arrangement, good question!

I expect the single vertical line in the Achiever box is an artifact of PowerPoint…

What are these? Why are the boxes arranged in that order? Why is the 'Maximizer' box tilted? Why is there a single vertical line in the 'Achiever' box? The ‘Input’, ‘Learner’, ‘Arranger’, ‘Achiever’, and ‘Maximizer’ boxes were not explained in the article. What are these? Why are the boxes arranged in that order? Why is the ‘Maximizer’ box tilted?
