“The ‘catch phrase’ of an Individualist is a highly independent generalist, and for me, that just about sums it up perfectly. I’d prefer to do my bit by myself and then bring it back to the team. I can bring new ideas to the table I’ve thought through, whether on the Innovative side or the Process side.  Also, owls are awesome.”
