the presenter

You like to observe people, situations, events, etc. and notice things that others don’t catch.

You are naturally curious. You like to investigate how and why things work and learn new and interesting information.

You love ideas - lots of ideas. The wackier the better often. You are happy daydreaming or brainstorming.

You love ideas, just not too many. Often times you would like things to be more practical and try to help people select the couple that might work best.

“Let’s get real” is something that often goes through your head. Many times when you hear a question or problem, you think of a solution right away.

You like presenting ideas to others and seeing if they actually worked. You like feedback and to see what others think of solutions you come up with.
