You’re the go-to person when a friend seeks help to solve a problem. You enjoy figuring out solutions and sharing that knowledge with others. Like, not in an obnoxious, Big Bang Sheldon kind of way…but in a supportive, patient way that makes them leave feeling heard, understood, and with confidence to tackle the issue at hand.
You live to understand how things work. Do you remember that old science channel show, “How it’s Made”? It’s ok, we know you do (psst…it’s on our DVR, too). Sometimes, your natural curiosity has gotten you in trouble for asking “too many questions”. You’ve spent more than a few Saturdays teaching yourself how to fix something that you could hire someone else to do. But hey, for you it’s about the journey – not the destination, right?
