Tank you for te link GOR. Well i did that quiz in the above post gave it a break and did it again as some answers I was not sure about and I like to answer honestly - first time I came out as a communicator second as a builder so maybe I am a bit of both !  It set me thinking that self assesment can be subjective and even a bit biased lol, and in thinking of skills maybe we should look to confirm what we think are our skills.My gut often gives me intuitions and insights, and others told me I am insightful  so next step was to check a quiz on insight - result was Empress of Insight, I scored high. My next thought was lets be honest here - it happens frequently but is not guaranteed, lol,  be real, check a different insight quiz so I tried a CEB assesment for business insight after all I am not just gut feelings - I check these feelings out with a brain to bring some balance too. here is the result

Informed Skeptic

• Applies judgment to analysis
• Has strong analytic skills
• Listens to others and is comfortable with dissent

Still digesting this as they seem very different

Empress of insight v informed skeptic !   Thinking about it, my intuition developed quite young and at that time it was easier to let these insights run away with me sometimes though usually they served me and others well - so I learned to double check / confirm with my brain - there are some insigts so strong they leave no room for doubt and we act on them immediately others are more subtle just hunches and that is where checking out the facts come in handy, I guess we need bot to strike true balance and it takes time, lol possibly a lifetime to schieve that

So when are we starting the weekly meetings Windswept ?

Nul, what do you think - you up fot it too ?

 I definitely think we could do weekly meetings about this subject, find out peoples talents, and put them to good use...yes I will facilitate!!!! perhaps right before the Monday or Thursday Roundtable meeting???? Either day works... An hour should do it...getting word out and active participation is crucial!!! Let's get it started!!!

Excellent job, "Nul"!

Indeed EVERYONE has a skill/talent that they can USE to help this movement!! It is NOT all tech info, as you have brilliantly pointed out! Mothers, fathers, artists/musicians, gardeners, carpenters, trash collectors, shopkeepers, cooks, cleaners, unemployed, students, veterans, homeless, people of all ages & backgrounds etc., the list is infinite...IMHO

We need active groups like this to teach everyone that they DO have IMPORTANT and NECESSARY SKILLS!! The key is  PARTICIPATION by ALL in order to make this movement succeed!!!

Wake up SHEEPLE and learn about how to become self reliant! All of us have skills we can share and HELP one another to get away from the tyranny of corporations, banks, money, and corrupt governments!!!
