• Strengths: Insight, strategic thinking, and inclusiveness. The ability to read the larger board and gather people.
• Points of Caution: Great water must beware of flooding. Watch for fickleness and scattered attention, a pattern of starting many things without resolving them, and the impression that others cannot know what is inside.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. I am Im Water, but I cannot stay with one thing for very long.

A. The nature of water is “flow,” so stagnation is difficult to endure. Rather than changing the job itself too often, the long-term strategy that suits Im Water is to choose an environment where flow keeps appearing within one profession, such as new projects, rotation, or expansion.
