💡 What is Analytical?

Analytical is a talent within the Strategic Thinking group within CliftonStrengths.

People with strong Analytical talent themes are always looking for the reasons and causes behind things. They have the ability to consider all the factors that may influence a situation.

With Analytical, you don’t accept every hypothesis or idea emotionally. You like data, figures, evidence, and “unbiased” factors. This objectivity helps you clarify what is reasonable and what is an unproven assumption.

✨ The Power of Analytical

When used properly, Analytics can help you:

Provide a logical and objective perspective.
Keep it simple in the midst of complexity.
Find the root cause to come up with the right solution.

⚠️ Blind Spots - Blind spots to avoid

Analytical is a great talent, but if you're not careful, you can fall into a few “traps”:

Can be seen as “dry” or “overly rational” if not showing enough empathy for others.
It is easy to delay action if information is lacking or more evidence is needed.
It can be demotivating to constantly criticize or ask questions without participating in creating solutions.

🛠️ How to sharpen Analytical

You can start with simple things:

Use logical thinking to ask questions, find causes and make informed decisions.
Help the team identify gaps in the plan or clarify untested assumptions.
Provide opinions based on evidence and reason, creating trust in a professional environment.

💡 This is just a small part of how to develop Analytical . In Vietnam Strengths Academy workshops, you will be guided through specific methods to maximize Analytical and other talents.
