Military Intelligence

Is intellection one of your strengths? Do you know what intellection means? Spell-check clearly does not. Because intellect and reasoning are not among its strengths. At school, we are going through the Strength Finder series as a cohort. And though we'd been warned not to read ahead (so we'd end up choosing strengths we wanted rather than what we actually had), a few details inevitably slipped out. And it is now clear that Allison, Marie, and Louise are all intellection strong. But not Meredith or me. And the fact that this 30-minute online test doesn't think we possess it is smarting (heh) more than it really should. It's become a dividing line. And as usual, I fall on the special side (with weak sauce strengths like "maximizer" and "connectedness"-- no one ever wins a gold medal for being maximizing maximus).
