Investigators enjoy acquiring new information and learning how facts interrelate.
>Description :
Investigators enjoy acquiring new information and learning how facts interrelate. They like possessing knowledge, having the chance to apply it, and occasionally being involved in improving a solution. Although they enjoy making connections, they don't want to be bombarded with information constantly. They do a good job of keeping others moving at an efficient pace, whether that means slowing down decisions being made without sufficient information or moving a group into action mode.
>Easier :
1.Evaluating when there are enough facts to move on
2.Determining when more facts are needed to gain certainty
3.Making improvements to existing policies
4.Gathering relevant facts for research
5.Integrating new facts with existing knowledge
>Difficult :
1.Acknowledging the validity of another's solution to a problem without first testing it
2.Tolerating impatience in others who want to move on without collecting more facts
3.Resisting the urge to set the decision-making and conclusion-drawing pace of a team
>Results Show :
1.You take your time fitting facts into a pattern.
2.You’re not too quick-on-the-draw when it comes to making decisions, but not too slow and deliberate either.
3.You probably end up setting the pace in a group working together to solve a problem.
4. You rein in those who want to jump to conclusions and spur on those who want to drag their feet.
>Aptitude Awareness :
As a detective, you follow the Dr. Watson model. You question motivation and evidence, but you typically proceed more cautiously from accumulated knowledge rather than making huge perceptual leaps. You enjoy acquiring new information and learning how different elements influence each other. You like possessing knowledge and applying it. You also occasionally want to be involved in influencing improvements. You enjoy making connections but probably don't want to be bombarded with information constantly.
>Tips :
1.Your sense of pacing is crucial. Assert it with confidence.
2.Others might decide things more slowly. Be patient, and be ready to reassure them it's safe to move on.
3.Trust your judgment. Keep asking questions until a decision feels right.
