Super Power Trait: Analyzing
Skill Set: The ability to use your mind to see new perspectives, project consequences, quantify, clarify and collect information and most importantly, spot future problems.
Weakness: You are superhuman analyzing skills tend to make you HARD. The better you are analyzing,
the more you like to use your logic and mind to solve ALL problems. That makes you less capable of solving emotional and relationship problems especially where fear is present - because fear is illogical.
Superpower planning makes you naturally contemptuous of those "messy"
emotions.
How does that screw you up?
You minimize feelings and exalt plans and “figuring it out”.
You’re educated enough to know that humans have three different brains.
The last brain that developed is the logical, reasoning and thinking brain or the New Brain.
The second
oldest brain which governs the limbic system is also called the Mammalian brain and it is your emotional center.
The very first brain, is the so-called “reptilian brain“ and it runs your body’s physical systems.
Can you see it? Breathing. Emotions. Thinking. In THAT Order!
Science shows you what you already know, emotions come before logic. We decide everything emotionally first and logically second. Yet, we all lie to ourselves and think we are logical FIRST.
Alphas are highly skilled analyzers, but it comes at a cost to our ability to be able to handle and process emotions. And emotions can actually be a more useful skill than logic. (Think Mr. Spock from Star Trek...)
One of the
words you want to watch for is efficiency. Anytime you’re trying to be "efficient", you are in your analyzer! Your analyzer could give zero flips about people’s feelings IF their feelings cause gross amounts of inefficiency.
Oh, and just for fun, that includes YOUR feelings
too.
