Learner

Don’t restrict your learning experiences to the classroom. Engage in activities in which you can expand your knowledge about subject that interest you most.

Choose challenging courses that will broaden your knowledge base in important areas.

Identify classmates who share your thirst for knowledge, and get to know them.

Select work where competency is valued and where you will have opportunities to keep developing your competencies.

Choose a work environment that encourages constant learning.

Intellection

Join clubs that allow you to be part of stimulating conversations.

Choose professors whose reputations indicate that they demand careful thinking.

Get to know your professors, and engage them in discussions.

Choose a work environment that matches your most productive thinking environment. If you think best when it’s quiet, choose a quiet work environment. If working with others stimulates your thinking, choose to work in a team environment.

Choose work that will challenge you intellectually.

Achiever

Join clubs that have members who share your strong work ethic.

Sequence the order in which you take classes. Each term, enroll in one course that is more demanding than any you have ever taken. Repeat this process each semester.

Intentionally nurture friendships with people who are as driven as you are.

Seek a position that lets you do what you do best every day. Inform people that you have a need to exceed, not just meet, minimum requirements.

Choose work environments that challenge you. Opt for situations where your success is measured each day.

Individualization

Be a mentor. You will pinpoint people’s unique qualities and encourage them to follow their own paths.

Choose professors who allow students to make choices regarding their own learning.

See the great talents in people, and encourage people to follow their own dreams. Help them understand and maximize the power of their talents.

Counseling could be a fulfilling role for you. Your ability to see people as distinct individuals will empower them and help them grow.

A career in education would directly use your talents because you would value and treat each student as an individual.

Restorative

Join an organization in which you can restore something to its original condition.

Select classes in which you learn to solve problems.

Let others know that you enjoy fixing their problems.

Look for work opportunities that allow you to fix whatever is wrong, from restoring art objects to cars to inadequate telephone service.

Choose a profession where deficits are remedied.

Subtopic

Think about school as a way to improve yourself. You will increase your motivation, particularly if you reflect on your progress.
