Jack's Top 5 Strengths in StrengthsFinder 2.0

• Maximizer :: Excellence, not average, is Jack's measure. Taking something from below average to slightly above average takes a great deal of effort , but transforming something strong into something superb takes just as much effort and is much more thrilling. Strengths, whether his own or someone else's, fascinate Jack. Like a diver after pearls, he searches them out, watching for the telltale signs of a strength. And having found a strength, Jack feels compelled to nurture it, refine it, and stretch it toward excellence. He polishes the pearl until it shines.
  
• Communication :: Jack likes to explain, to describe, to perform in public, to design, and to write. This is his Communication strength at work. Ideas are a dry beginning. Events are static. Jack feels a need to bring them to life, to energize them, to make them exciting and vivid. He takes the dry idea and enlivens it with images, examples and metaphors. Jack believes that most people have a very short attention span. They are bombarded by information, but very little of it survives. Jack wants his information—whether an idea, an event, a performance, or a product's features and benefits—to survive. Jack wants to divert their attention and then capture it, lock it in. This is what drives his hunt for the perfect design.
  
• Input :: Jack is inquisitive and collects things. Whatever he collects, he collects it because it interests him. And Jack's is the kind of mind that finds so many things interesting. He finds the world is exciting precisely because of its infinite variety and complexity. When something has so many possible uses, Jack really doesn't feel comfortable throwing it away. So Jack keeps acquiring and compiling and filing stuff away. It's interesting. It keeps his mind fresh.
  
• Woo :: Woo stands for winning others over. Jack enjoys the challenge of meeting new people and getting them to like him. Strangers rarely intimidate Jack. On the contrary, strangers can be energizing and Jack is drawn to them. He wants to learn their names, ask them questions, and find some area of common interest so that he can strike up a conversation and build rapport. Jack is rarely at a loss for words; and he actually enjoy initiating with strangers because he derives satisfaction from breaking the ice and making a connection. In Jack's world there are no strangers, only friends he haven't met yet—lots of them.
  
• Arranger :: Jack is a conductor. When faced with a complex situation involving many factors, he enjoys managing all of the variables, aligning and realigning them until he is sure he has arranged them in the most productive configuration possible. From the mundane to the complex, he is always looking for the perfect configuration. Jack is a shining example of effective flexibility and, of course, he is at his best in dynamic situations. He is not hesitant to jump into confusing situations, to devise new options, to hunt for new paths of least resistance, and to figure out new partnerships—because, after all, there might just be a better way.
