The INTELLECT Component (also known as Resource Structure) consists of Analyser and Philosopher Talents.

INTELLECT Component people are known as thinkers. They are very analytical and problem-solving. They are the consummate advisors who always have the facts and figures ready at their fingertips (or, if they don’t, they will find them!). They are often very methodical and precise in all that they do. They love having information, as knowledge is what motivates and spurs them to greater heights.

Intellect Component in a positive state

When the INTELLECT Component is at its brightest, most functional, and healthiest, the person will come across as very knowledgeable and able to analyze intellectually and philosophically. They are fast learners and efficiently gather information on any topic. People with learning abilities are also empathetic and provide significant support to those in need. INTELLECT Component, at its best, is closest to what we know as motherly love and care, something purely selfless and nurturing.

These individuals excel at questioning the hows behind every project, task, piece of information, or procedure. They are very reflective and quiet in behavior and are always keen to get to the heart of the matter. As such, they can also be very structured and orderly. INTELLECT Component people can be counted on to research thoroughly before embarking on anything new.

Intellect Component in a negative state

On the other hand, INTELLECT Component individuals can also be overly pedantic and slow, with a tendency to be dull and too concerned with facts and figures. They drag things out in the hopes of getting more information, and sometimes their overthinking hinders their decision-making. Instead of acting quickly, they tend to think even more about the matter without ever reaching a practical conclusion.

When the INTELLECT Component is excessive, uncontrolled, and idle (not in use), the person might be pretty thin, even anorexic.

They also place a lot of emphasis on reputation; they can react very aggressively if their name or actions are judged negatively. Their ego is very sensitive, so other people should be careful not to question their reputation too bluntly or without good arguments.

Excessive INTELLECT also creates a strong sense of self, and those individuals can be rather eccentric and reclusive.

INTELLECT ↔ OUTPUT

INTELLECT ↔ WEALTH

Components often connect; we call these connections a Talent Bridge. These relationships are significant for the overall quality of the Talents and Supertalents, making them more valuable and productive.

When the INTELLECT Component is connected to the OUTPUT, it represents intelligence, the ability to learn, and a high level of education. The person with such a combination will be excellent in analyzing and processing data and able to put it to practical use through the OUTPUT Component.

A combination of INTELLECT and WEALTH will very likely lead a person to pursue their own business and seek financial independence, rather than work for someone else.
