Thinkers like to do things the right way. (Unlike Directors, who prefer to do things right away!) Thinkers possess a marvelous ability to focus on the problem at hand, analyzing every piece of information. The list is a trademark of the Thinker.

Thinkers tend to be more cautious than either Directors or Expressers. They tend to respect the way things have been done in the past. They also tend to underestimate the amount of time they will need to complete a project. At times they may analyze when they should try empathizing with the feelings of others.

Thinkers are the world's problem solvers. They are essential to the success of any effective team.
