Analyzer Talent belongs to the INTELLECT Character Component, along with its counterpart, Philosopher.

Analyzers are typically introspective types, known for their intelligence and intellect, and are often seen as wise and knowledgeable.

They are also very interested in culture and history, and have a sophisticated taste for various things.

Analyzers are very interested in how the world works, and they can develop large-scale theoretical models across a range of topics, from finance to health and education. Often, analysts are involved in the stock market because of their ability to discover and develop patterns.

They aim to get to the root of the matter, and for that, they need as much information as possible.

Analyzers are pretty much the opposite of Performers; they dislike anything flashy and attention-seeking.

They are elegant, refined, often singularly unique, imaginative, and witty, with a high sense of aesthetics and sensibility.

Analyzers enjoy working alone or in a small group united by a common goal, in a quiet, unobtrusive environment. They dislike large groups and crowds because they interfere with their thinking and reflection.

But being too much of a thinking person, they can also be entirely impractical in the real world and occasionally overly laid-back.

They spend too much time analyzing their thoughts and emotions, which can lead to procrastination, laziness, and depression.

Often, they neglect the simplicity and power of action and expect to analyze their way out of everything, which is usually not the case, which frustrates them.

Below are a few key character traits and professions that are related to the Analyzer Talent, accompanied by real-life examples from famous people, so that you can get a better idea of its unique characteristics.

Healthy and balanced analysts can apply their intellectual skills across many fields. In science, we have Albert Einstein, by far the most famous scientist of our time. In technology, we have Ray Kurzweil, with a high reputation in the tech world, and Steve Jobs, whose intellectual and creative skills made Apple the most valuable company in the world.

In business, we have Peter Thiel and Jack Ma; in politics, we have Martin Luther King.

Sherlock Holmes, a fictional character, is probably the best embodiment of Analyzer Talent. And what is also very interesting is that the creator of the Sherlock character, Arthur Conan Doyle, had a powerful Analyzer in his chart.

All these individuals are superb thinkers in their fields, with the ability to grasp knowledge from other areas as well, thanks to their sizable mental capacity.

Due to their high intellectual skills, Analyzer Talent is often seen in charts of famous songwriters, such as Jim Morrison, Michael Jackson, Chris Martin, Eminem, Pharrell Williams, and many others.

From all ten Talents, Analyzers are the most compassionate. They are always in touch with their feelings and thoughts; therefore, they have an excellent understanding of others as well.

Probably the most well-known nun and missionary, Mother Theresa, dedicated her entire life to helping other people, and her most active Talent is Analyzer.

Being too much of an intellectual has, of course, its negative connotations. When Analyzer Talent is excessive and out of control, a person might suffer from laziness and hypochondria. They spend too much time analyzing, while real-life implementation gets neglected. Analyzer Talent can be especially useless if a person doesn’t have a Performer or Artist Talents, which can act as a positive output for excessive Analyzer. When Analyzer gets combined with one or both of these creative Talents, it’s a clear sign of very high intelligence.

ANALYZERS ARE MOTIVATED BY:

• The need to express their individuality
• The opportunity to attract a “savior” who understands them fully
• The potential to surround themselves with comfort and happiness
• The chance to maintain certain moods and feelings

DEMOTIVATED BY:

• Being unrecognized for their work and effort
• Impersonal rules and codes of conduct
• Having their taste and judgment questioned
• Having to spend time with people lacking emotional depth
• Feeling like they are “required” in social settings
• Having to restrain emotions

Please note that every Talent has good, bad, and ugly characteristics. It’s unlikely that a person will react ONLY with positive or ONLY with negative traits. The balance between these two depends heavily on a person’s overall emotional stability.
