Are you a big picture person? Do you love feeling creative and innovative?
You may be a Visualizer.
Visualizers are strategic thinkers. They lean on their intuitive nature and their creativity skills to pull all the small details into a larger vision. They tend to be quick to execute, and often use visual cues and colors to help them organize their tasks.
Since Visualizers are highly intuitive, they can be spontaneous and attention to detail sometimes suffers. They are great at coming up with solutions, but need focus on execution as well as planning to get the best results.

Visualizers may want to keep a list of high-priority tasks to help keep them on track. Visualizers also need to spend extra time keeping their team up-to-date on their thought process and plans, as they otherwise can seem overly impulsive and give the impression that they are not thinking things through.
