Rationals are driven to seek "the truth" and scan both backward and forward in time. The best careers for them capitalize on this long-ranging perspective.

Miguel majors in Business Management. He wants to go into international business. "I've seen businesses that failed both their customers and their employees by simply being greedy at the top.

Mina majors in Computer Science. She prefers the complex to the simple. "I like the challenge of working with multiple facets to create something new. While I have an objective in mind, I can sometimes move off the straight-forward line to follow a rabbit trail which might lead to a new break-through. Then I'll come back to my objective which is usually slightly revised." If you're a Mastermind, how does your major help develop your strategic planning intelligence?

Inventors (ENTPs) have strategic imagining intelligence. Inventors are both solo artists and group members.

If you're an Inventor, how does your major help develop strategic imagining intelligence?

Architects (INTPs) have strategic expert intelligence. Architects can't help becoming known as experts. Their minds are huge filing cabinets filled with information about the subjects that attract their interest.

Jeneka's parents were anthropologists and she has chosen the same field. "Some students choose very different fields from their parents, but I've always found physical anthropology fascinating. I have spent a lot of time in the field and have a great deal of patience. Other students come to me for answers. I prefer when they ask focused questions, because I know so much that I can't simply give them a complete data dump."
