Deliberative is the natural ability to be able to recognise what could go wrong in the execution of a task.

People with strong Deliberative talents bring a thorough and conscientious approach to their endeavors. They have the ability to reduce risk and prevent problems through a natural, instinctive anticipation about what could go wrong in each circumstance and what can be done about it. As a result, they tend to make outstanding decisions.

You create safety and security for others. On your watch, nothing will go wrong. You have an ability to create outcomes that are definite.

Give me time to first evaluate the task at hand for myself.

I will only get back to you when I am ready so there is no use trying to rush me.

I will only move on something once I am convinced that the outcome can be achieved with certainty and accuracy.

You take great care as you consider options, thinking through the pros and cons of each alternative.

You prefer to listen to others rather than reveal a lot of information about yourself. Listening is an important way for you to gather the information you need to make a sound decision.

You make very good decisions. In fact, you would change few of them.

Others may become impatient with you as you make your decisions thoughtfully and slowly.

You always think about the risks and what might go wrong. You may be falsely categorized as indecisive when in fact you are making better choices in the long run.

To go fast and far, first stop, listen and assess; then take action.

You have naturally good judgment and a tendency to question people's actions, so look for opportunities to help others think through their decisions before they act too quickly.

During times of change, consider the advantages of being conservative in your decision making. Be ready to explain these advantages when asked.

You see things that others do not. Whatever your role, take responsibility for helping others think through their decisions. You will be sought as a valuable sounding board.

Your thoughtful approach gives you the foresight you need to make wise decisions. Be sure to set aside some time each day for yourself.

Explain your process of careful decision making. Clarify that you highlight risk in order to take control and reduce it. Don't allow others to misconstrue your Deliberative theme as tentativeness or fear of action.

Because you naturally identify risk, you can easily become paralysed by what you see, especially when there are too many variables or you cannot control the variables the way you would prefer. Understanding what you can and cannot control is key, otherwise life will pass you by. Alternatively discover new ways you can control what previously could not be controlled.

Watch out for: Trying to control what genuinely cannot be controlled.

When is it alright to let go and just be?
