Link to Thinking Wave Length assessment and results:
http://www.stevechuaintl.com/thinkwave-graphicKeys to be Successful in Using your Wavelength
People generally cannot change their thinking wavelength, regardless of the amount or type of training received. You will tend to work best with people who are 1.5 points on either side of you. You are able to operate 1 - 1.5 points from your equilibrium numberWorking beyond 1.5 – 2 points from your number will create friction, frustration, depression, and burnout. Concrete Thinkers pop the bubble of abstract thinkers by focusing on why or the potential problems.Transformation Application: How satisfied are you with your work? On a scale of low-med-high. If you’re low to medium, could it be because you’re misaligned with your thinking wavelength score? Do some reflection.
