/WHAT IS ASSESSED HERE:

HOW YOU THINK ABOUT AND DEAL WITH AMBIGUITY AND PARADOXES, HOW YOU RECOGNIZE DIVERSITY, FEEL ABOUT IT AND ACT TOWARDS IT.

What this tells you:

This graph shows only one dimension – behavioral - indicating that you are action- oriented. We don’t have enough data to report on your feelings about or understanding of this topic.

YOUR SMI RESPONSES INDICATE THAT you might frequently ask yourself how other people arrive at their opinions and perspectives, puzzling as they may look to you.

THINK ABOUT HOW YOU CAN FURTHER LEVERAGE YOUR STRENGTHS AND MANAGE SOME OF THE LIMITATIONS WHICH MAY BE HOLDING YOU BACK:

It is possible that you become curious and engage in conversations to better understand them. This is an extremely valuable behavior, particularly in these times!

We cannot comment on your thinking or feelings related to this topic, since you indicated (by choosing "neither") that you did not find yourself represented by any of the available options

Here is a question to consider: Can you think of an event or situation, however minor, where someone with a different opinion was able to step into your shoes? How did it make you feel? How did it impact your attitude and your behavior? What if we could shape a world that makes room for different perspectives, where people acknowledge others’ points of view, the way you frequently include theirs?

/HOW ABOUT YOU TRY:

Since we cannot control what others think or do, but do have control over our own way of thinking, there may be an interesting path worth exploring here. In what areas does empathy and inclusion come easier to you, and which situations are more challenging? This is your work.

Your behavior is role modeling appreciation of diversity. Are you aware of it? Do you help others notice it, particularly the benefits of inclusion?

/THOUGHTS TO PONDER WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE SM:

It seems that today, more than ever, we are collectively being confronted with paradoxes and ambiguity. Increased transparency and access to information from around the world makes us aware of very different ways of thinking, being and acting with which we may not agree or be comfortable.

Challenging as this may be, there is a benefit to it: We are becoming aware of our own worldviews just by realizing that there are other ways of seeing and feeling. This is an evolutionary insight of great value, the foundation for more peaceful societies. In a way, life is prompting us to expand our understanding and our scope of caring, which go hand in hand.

When we understand something, we can begin caring. This is the start of a better world for all.

Both+and thinking allows us to understand paradoxes, and calls for creative solutions that are inclusive of all stakeholders.
