According to a survey at https://www.kairoscognition.com/,
I am Associative preferent.
My competitive advantage is for rapid, integrative thinking. I respond effectively to predictable randomness: the things life sends to each of us, we just can’t be sure when. I let my experience and training take the lead when making decisions under pressure.

- Center on the task in front of you
- Close out any distraction I can: email pop ups, message alerts, phone sounds
