Puzzles and personality
Do you like puzzles? Are you the kind of person who enjoys solving difficult problems? Maybe you find yourself jumping in to find solutions when other people walk away. If this is you, most likely you have a problem-solver personality. So what are some of the characteristics of a great problem-solver?
According to some people, one of the most important qualities is perseverance. After all, complex problems take time to figure out, so being able to stick with a problem is a real asset. It’s not so much that great problem-solvers are obstinate. What they do have is the ability to spend time with the problem they want to solve.
Another characteristic critical for untangling thorny problems is being open-minded and adaptable. Difficult problems take us into unfamiliar situations, so being able to call on creativity and imagination is key. That includes being able to listen to—and assess—the input of others.
This leads us to another personality trait of great problem-solvers. We sometimes think that people who are good at solving puzzles prefer to work alone. As a matter of fact, it’s the opposite. The personality type best suited to solving complex problems belongs to the person who thrives when working with other people.
Finally, you won’t be surprised to know that having a strong sense of curiosity is a tell-tale sign of someone who can discover a solution where others have failed.
Does your career fit you?
If all of this describes you, then it’s worth asking if your career is the right match for your personality. When it comes down to it, not all careers challenge us mentally. And while working in a predictable, low-stress job is great for some, it can be unendurable for those who enjoy taking risks, and want the opportunity to let their problem-solving skills shine.
If you are beginning to think your current work doesn’t match your personality type, then maybe it’s time to find a career path that will reward you—not only financially, but mentally as well. One place to start is by getting a better sense of your personality type, and what your skills really are. There are many different tests you can find online to uncover your aptitude for creative problem-solving, for example. From there, you can begin to explore different career possibilities with career quizzes and tests.
But just a minute! At Palette Skills, we know about a great career that matches your personality, offers great financial rewards, and best of all, is one that you can begin almost right away, no matter what your background is. Interested?
