JUDICIOUS - REALISTIC - DETAILED
CURATOR THINKING STYLE REPORT
Your location in the MindTime map
The true value of understanding your Thinking Style is that you will then understand your deepest drives and needs and hear everyone else’s points of view more easily:
• Points of view are the result of our individual ways of thinking
• Everyone has value to bring with their point of view
• What seem to be differences between us are actually our individual ‘takes’ that all arise from one thing, our relationship with Time
• Saying ‘from my point of view’ is like saying “using my Thinking Style”.
You Seek:
•Evidence
•Disciplined thinking and approaches
•Well-defined methodology
•Well-defined course of action
You Avoid:
•Spontaneity
•Impulsiveness
•Unverified information
•Inappropriate behaviour
Core Needs – Your intensity measures
We all need security, stability, and possibilities. Depending on who you ask they will rank these needs in a different order of priority. This seems intuitive enough. What is perhaps less intuitive is that the reason why people rank them the way they do is driven by exactly the same motivating drives that shape the way they communicate, learn, grow trust, engage with other people and in their work. It is how we develop our individual point of view on the world around us. The MindTime Framework shows us how and why we think and behave the way we do.
Here is the degree to which each of these three perspectives influences your thinking:
CERTAINTY
This core need is responsible for:
How much Risk you tolerate (the higher the number the LOWER your tolerance)
How much Time you need to digest and internalize new information (the higher the number the more time you need)
formation you neeHow much Information you need to feel like you understand the risks (the higher the number the more ind)
STABILITY
This core need is responsible for:
How much Chaos you tolerate (the higher the number the LOWER your tolerance)
How much Organization you need in your affairs (the higher the number the more organized you need to be)
How much you Invest yourself in security and long-term stability (the higher the number the more you invest)
POSSIBILITY
This core need is responsible for:
•How much Change you are comfortable with (the higher the number the greater your comfort)
•How much appetite you have for pursuing Opportunity (the higher the number the more opportunities you seek)
•How much Resilience you have for coping with adverse conditions (the higher the number the more resilience you hav
Layers of Insight
Your Thinking Style is responsible for many of your innate tendencies, the ways you go about doing life. Here are two layers of information laid on the MindTime Map of Thought. One is about how you approach learning and the other points towards the kinds of things that stress you.
In the book Why You Are You that you can download at the end of this report, you will find useful tables with lists of adjectives and other words and concepts which typify the characteristics attributable to each location on the map. These are very useful guides for how you can adjust your thinking when communicating and collaborating with people who have differing Thinking Styles from you.
EVERYONE HAS VALUE TO BRING
The gift of the Curator Archetype
The value of Curator thinking lies in its ability to examine future consequences, in the light of past
experiences, and then plan accordingly. With the facts known and the weighing of pros and cons
completed, the question becomes, ‘What unknown impact might my decision have?’ With
customary caution, Curators turn from looking for facts and understanding; they instead look at the
implications of pending decisions. All of this is done to ensure that they get the desired results
without suffering from unintended consequences as they move forward with their plans. The
sceptical attitude towards opportunities often presented by Curators is a counter to the destabilising
and often dangerous influence of unchecked opportunism. Their true gift is one of caring about
what happens; they foster a culture of moderation and clear thinking.
For you, the importance of MindTime is that it provides you with an accurate, predictive and reliable
way to understand yourself and how to engage with what is in front of you. The more you develop
your expertise at using the MindTime Framework the more effective you will become at taking the
‘right’ actions.
