The Four Domains: The Architecture of Talent: Strategic Thinking(Thinker)
People strong in Strategic Thinking love to ponder abstract concepts—essences, patterns, trends, data, and principles. They excel at gathering and analyzing information, exploring root causes and origins, and predicting future trends. Being strong in Strategic Thinking doesn't necessarily mean 'smart'—but they naturally love deep thinking, are the 'brain trust' of the team, and consistently surface angles and possibilities others haven't considered.
