They want to know “why”, “how” and “for what”. They like working with complex concepts or large amounts of information -- trying to find patterns, and to reduce and simplify as a way to reach conclusions or recommendations.

Job position:
- Data Scientist

Creating & Developing
Creating & DevelopingThese people tend to enjoy the process of building – starting with some basic ingredients – or even a blank slate – and working to bring something new and innovative to life. For example, they might enjoy developing an app, uncovering a cool pattern in complex data, or inventing a tech-based solution to a challenging business problem. They also like activities that involve turning their big ideas into tangible outputs that can be used by others or implemented within an organization.
