Your Secret Weapon for Solving Problems
Your first approach when a piece of work gets stuck
When work stalls, you might investigate, consult someone, or try another route. Observe the habit behind your first approach rather than rating whether a solution succeeds.
WHAT THIS TEST EXPLORES
WHAT THIS TEST EXPLORES
A familiar approach can provide a quick foothold, but a different situation may call for another tool. Notice what you look for first in choices involving obstacles and priorities. A problem-solving weapon is simply a metaphor for an approach you often reach for, not competitive superiority. Consider what that approach might overlook and what another person could add.
- The entry point you choose at a barrier
- Information your usual approach misses
- A question that opens another route
