You have the natural ability to take full accountability for the immediate resolution of problems that occur in your life (both personal and other). You have the tenacity to push through until a resolution has been found and an issue resolved.

Your sense of accomplishment comes from solving a problem. You therefore actually enjoy problems, so you bring a resolute attitude to solving problems that most people do not have. As a result, you may readily take on projects that others believe 'can't be saved'. You also thrive on being able to fix things as quickly as possible.

You create an ability for people to get things working again, the way they should be, after a setback. Because problems do not intimidate you, your proactivity and commitment to keep trying until the problem is fixed, ultimately creates a guideline for others and equips them with a problem solving ability they would not normally have. You can also inspire people to keep pushing through and to not give up until the issue has been resolved.

You readily take on projects that others believe 'can’t be saved'.

You can analyze a situation and identify potential shortcomings and what needs to be fixed.

You quickly recognize problems that others may not detect. Other people may not like the fact that you can so quickly determine the problems and weaknesses in people, situations, and organizations.

They may find this embarrassing, even if your assessments and solutions are accurate.

Every problem has a solution. Use your talents to find it and fix it.

Seek roles in which you are paid to solve problems. You might particularly enjoy roles in medicine, consulting, computer programming, or customer service, in which your success depends on your ability to restore and resolve.

Look for turnaround situations that others avoid. You will enjoy the challenge, and you will further your 'can do' abilities and reputation. You might be attracted to difficult problems, but also look for easy-to-solve problems that offer big results.

Let everyone know that you enjoy fixing problems. It comes naturally to you, although many people shy away from problems. You can help.

Think through the ways you can improve your skills and knowledge. Identify the courses you can take to plug any gaps.

Out of everyone you know, you are probably the person you work on the most. You will instinctively want to find as many weaknesses in who you are as possible and then work on them. These could be psychological, mental or physical. Making yourself better. In itself this is a noble endeavour. However, it is important to understand that fixing something that is in an area of talent is far more useful than fixing an area of no talent. Why? Because restoring all your talents to optimal strength will lead to far greater satisfaction than just fixing what you don't have.

Watch out for: Finding problems where there are none.

When does focusing on a problem become a negative thing?
