Before entering to the class of Design Management and Entrepreneurship, the students have to complete a strength quest:
LEARNER
You love to learn. The subject matter that interests you most will be determined by your other themes and experiences, but whatever the subject, you will always be drawn to the process of learning. The process, more than the content or the result, is especially exciting for you. You are energized by the steady and deliberate journey from ignorance to competence. The thrill of the first few facts, the early efforts to recite or practice what you have learned, the growing confidence of a skill mastered—this is the process that entices you. Your excitement leads you to engage in adult learning experiences—yoga or piano lessons or graduate classes. It enables you to thrive in dynamic work environments where you are asked to take on short project assignments and are expected to learn a lot about the new subject matter in a short period of time and then move on to the next one. This Learner theme does not necessarily mean that you seek to become the subject matter expert, or that you are striving for the respect that accompanies a professional or academic credential. The outcome of the learning is less significant than the “getting there.”
好學不倦－－活到老學到老的「終極學生」
你喜歡學習。 你感興趣的主題大多視你其他主導特質以及經驗而定，不過，無論哪種主題，都會受學習方法影響， 尤其是方法比內容或結果更令你興奮的主題。 從無知到足以勝任的過程使你能量飽滿； 從初期少數事實帶來的興奮、下功夫背誦或練習，直到技巧純熟後展現自信的過程深深吸引你。 學習的興奮帶領你去參加進修、瑜珈、鋼琴課或研究所課程。 使你在充滿活力的工作環境有所成就。公司也會較願意指派你參與短期計畫，希望你在短時間學得新知，然後繼續下一項計畫。 「好學不倦」的主導特質不一定代表你想變成該領域專家，也不代表你想獲得伴隨專業或學術地位而來的尊崇。 學習的結果遠不如過程重要。
INTELLECTION
You like to think. You like mental activity. You like exercising the “muscles” of your brain, stretching them in multiple directions. This need for mental activity may be focused; for example, you may be trying to solve a problem or develop an idea or understand another person’s feelings. The exact focus will depend on your other strengths. On the other hand, this mental activity may very well lack focus. The theme of Intellection does not dictate what you are thinking about; it simply describes that you like to think. You are the kind of person who enjoys your time alone because it is your time for musing and reflection. You are introspective. In a sense you are your own best companion, as you pose yourself questions and try out answers on yourself to see how they sound. This introspection may lead you to a slight sense of discontent as you compare what you are actually doing with all the thoughts and ideas that your mind conceives. Or this introspection may tend toward more pragmatic matters such as the events of the day or a conversation that you plan to have later. Wherever it leads you, this mental hum is one of the constants of your life.
愛動腦－－看看別人，想想自己的獨行俠
你喜歡思考，喜歡腦力激盪、運動大腦的「肌肉」，讓它們多方伸展。 這種腦力激盪的需求很集中。例如，想解決某些問題、想新點子或是了解另一個人的感受。 至於以哪些事為重心，就視你其他方面的能力而定。 相反地，這種腦力激盪也可能沒有焦點。 「愛動腦」的主導特質無法指揮你該想什麼，只代表你喜歡思考。 你喜歡獨處，因為那是你深思熟慮的時間。 你經常內省，因為你是自己的最佳伴侶，你會自問自答，傾聽自己。 當你將真正付諸實踐的部分，跟內在想法和觀念相比時，內省能力也許會使你感到些許不滿足， 或者，內省能力也許會傾向比較實際的事情，例如今天的活動、稍後預定的談話等。 這股內在聲音終其一生將與你常相左右。
Your Analytical theme challenges other people: “Prove it. Show me why what you are claiming is true.” In the face of this kind of questioning some will find that their brilliant theories wither and die. For you, this is precisely the point. You do not necessarily want to destroy other people’s ideas, but you do insist that their theories be sound. You see yourself as objective and dispassionate. You like data because they are value free. They have no agenda. Armed with these data, you search for patterns and connections. You want to understand how certain patterns affect one another. How do they combine? What is their outcome? Does this outcome fit with the theory being offered or the situation being confronted? These are your questions. You peel the layers back until, gradually, the root cause or causes are revealed. Others see you as logical and rigorous. Over time they will come to you in order to expose someone’s “wishful thinking” or “clumsy thinking” to your refining mind. It is hoped that your analysis is never delivered too harshly. Otherwise, others may avoid you when that “wishful thinking” is their own.
實事求是－－善於分析的智者
善於分析的主導特質使你經常質疑別人：「拿出證明，為什麼你說的是事實？」 有些人出色的理論就因為這種質疑而終結。 你不一定想推翻別人的觀點，但堅持理論務必正確。 你自認為客觀公平， 凡事皆以事實為後盾， 尋找其中的模式與關連。 你想了解某些模式如何互相影響？ 如何結合？ 結果如何？ 結果符不符合相關理論或現實的狀況？ 你抽絲剝繭直到水落石出， 在別人眼裡，是一個邏輯嚴謹的人。 有時朋友會找上見解精闢的你，透露「別人」的內在渴望或低俗想法， 希望你的分析不至於過度嚴厲。 因為那些所謂的「別人的心聲」，其實很有可能就是說的人自己的想法，因為聽了你嚴苛的批評後，因而對你敬而遠之。
ACHIEVER
Your Achiever theme helps explain your drive. Achiever describes a constant need for achievement. You feel as if every day starts at zero. By the end of the day you must achieve something tangible in order to feel good about yourself. And by “every day” you mean every single day—workdays, weekends, vacations. No matter how much you may feel you deserve a day of rest, if the day passes without some form of achievement, no matter how small, you will feel dissatisfied. You have an internal fire burning inside you. It pushes you to do more, to achieve more. After each accomplishment is reached, the fire dwindles for a moment, but very soon it rekindles itself, forcing you toward the next accomplishment. Your relentless need for achievement might not be logical. It might not even be focused. But it will always be with you. As an Achiever you must learn to live with this whisper of discontent. It does have its benefits. It brings you the energy you need to work long hours without burning out. It is the jolt you can always count on to get you started on new tasks, new challenges. It is the power supply that causes you to set the pace and define the levels of productivity for your work group. It is the theme that keeps you moving.
有始有終－－精力旺盛的實踐者
精力旺盛的實踐者 「有始有終」的主導特質是一種對成就感的持續需求， 對你而言，每天似乎都是從零開始。 在一天結束前必須完成某件事才覺得對得起自己， 不論多累，也不管週末或例假，一事無成的日子就會覺得不滿足。 你的內心永遠燃燒著一把火， 促使你去完成更多事。 每完成一件事，火勢會稍微減弱，但是很快又會恢復熊熊烈焰，迫使你朝另一個目標邁進。 你必須學會跟這股不滿足的感覺和平共存， 這種特質帶給人精力充沛的能量， 衝擊新工作的展開、面對新挑戰。 這股能量也是替工作團隊制定工作速度、生產目標的動力來源 ，更是讓人不斷前進的主導特質。
FUTURISTIC
“Wouldn’t it be great if . . .” You are the kind of person who loves to peer over the horizon. The future fascinates you. As if it were projected on the wall, you see in detail what the future might hold, and this detailed picture keeps pulling you forward, into tomorrow. While the exact content of the picture will depend on your other strengths and interests—a better product, a better team, a better life, or a better world—it will always be inspirational to you. You are a dreamer who sees visions of what could be and who cherishes those visions. When the present proves too frustrating and the people around you too pragmatic, you conjure up your visions of the future and they energize you. They can energize others, too. In fact, very often people look to you to describe your visions of the future. They want a picture that can raise their sights and thereby their spirits. You can paint it for them. Practice. Choose your words carefully. Make the picture as vivid as possible. People will want to latch on to the hope you bring.
有遠見－－描繪願景的夢想家
「如果……的話不是很棒嗎？」 未來深深地吸引你， 彷彿投射在牆壁上，你很清楚看到未來可能的模樣，這一幅逼真的景象拉著你向前走。 儘管實際內容需要視你其他能力與興趣而定，但是夢想總能帶來很大的靈感。 你是一個能看到未來願景的夢想家，也很珍惜這些願景。 當眼前的一切令人沮喪，周遭的人又過於現實時，你會想出種種前瞻性的願景，為自己注入動力， 同時也能帶給其他人動力。 事實上，大家經常指望你描繪未來的願景。 你可以為他們畫出能提升視野與精神的景象。 多加練習， 小心遣詞用字， 盡可能讓景
