I identify most with people. Why? I never met a stranger! I like talking to people and learning their story or listening to their problems. I like to help people whenever I can, however I can. I am comfortable approaching people I don’t know and I am comfortable talking in front of a group.

People dont come with the rigid guidelines that numbers do.  With people 1 +1 does not have to equal 2, according to mathamatical theory 1+1 must equal 2. Working with people allows me freedom to be creative and use my problem solving skills to be creative and effective in a way that best fits the situation.

I do like pictures, but I take them and honestly never do anything with them! I prefer to look at them than being the one creating them.

I do like words. Of course how could I talk with people without them! But with words come the rules of periods and commas and spelling and run on sentences.

Although it sounds like I am against rules, I am not! I respect and live by the rules every day. But if I have a choice in what I am doing I will pick the option that has the rules I can follow easiest and will allow me to be most successful.

I identify the most with words. I am an avid reader and do a bit of my own writing (mostly fiction). I am not the best at being grammatically correct in my writing but that’s why there are resources out there to fix it for you. Second would be pictures. I am a photographer by night. I do love talking to people and getting to know them. Its a fun time to figure out what makes them click and get up in the morning. I use an awful lot of numbers at my job as of course they are important. I was good at math in high school taking Calculus but I don’t think I have used much of it since then.

Although in my opinion, you can’t have one of these without the other. Even in writing, you have numbers for pages. You have people to read; whether its editing or someone bought it at a garage sale. You have the words that paint pictures in imaginations that speak to people on a fundamental level. On the flip side if you have people, of course you will have words to speak, ages or phone numbers, and so many pictures taken to capture memories had!

Ah, the right brain left brain quotient here.  I find that I am either one side or the other.  If I am in a creative flow, it will be difficult to be in the mathematical side.  If I am in the mathematical side, it will be difficult to switch to the creative.  And yes, geocaching is the perfect “get out of my head” activity to find the balance between.
