Directive brains excel when focusing their attention entirely on one thing at a time. Their brains process small portions of information in depth. This is due to a mechanism called “sensory gating,” which restricts the amount of information entering our conscious awareness.
However, because they tend to prioritize deep processing of a limited amount of information, they may not be sensitive to external sensory stimuli and might miss subtle social cues.

Strengths and how to effectively use them

• Focus mode activated!
  You can concentrate super well. Look for tasks that require your full attention, you can really excel in these.
• Calm in chaos!
  You can completely shut out in a busy work environment. Find that cozy spot in the open office and get to work quickly. Distractions or not, you’re unaffected.
• Eyes on the prize!
  You have the goal clearly in sight, allowing you to stay focused on monotonous everyday tasks. Use this focus to make progress step by step and effectively achieve your goals.

Potential challenges and how to overcome them

• Did I miss something?
  You can unintentionally miss subtle social cues from colleagues. Specifically ask your colleagues to point these out to assist you.
• Am I still not done?
  You can get so absorbed in your work that you forget to take breaks. Try setting reminders in your schedule at fixed times for breaks.
• From one thing to another!
  You may find it challenging to switch between different tasks. Inform your colleagues that you prefer to focus on one task/project at a time for optimal results.
