Numerical Predictors may relax by solving number games or puzzles, but they aren't likely to devote excessive time to them.
>Description :
Numerical Predictors may relax by solving number games or puzzles, but they aren't likely to devote excessive time to them. They may enjoy uncovering a pattern when they know one is present, but won't devote excessive effort without a clearly defined goal. They often get satisfaction from the process of puzzle solving due to the acute level of focus involved. They find this ability useful in roles that require instant access to facts and information.
>Easier :
1.Applying numerical formulas
2.Choosing an appropriate formula to analyze a situation
3.Crunching numbers according to a prescribed methodology, such as generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
4.Reading well-designed graphs
>Difficult :
1.Decoding patterns in numerical information without serious understanding
2.Analyzing numbers for extended periods of time
3.Creating complex estimates for a project
4.Reviewing presentations or reports with large, uncorrelated data sets
>Results Show :
1.You have a solid ability to spot patterns among numbers.
2. You can analyze data, especially if you know what to look for.
3. You enjoy trend-spotting most when it’s not an end in itself.
4.You consider your number knack a tool for reaching some other, clearly defined goal.
>Aptitude Awareness :
On a political campaign you'd probably prefer to set up a grid pattern to reach as many people in the proper voting districts as possible. You strike a balance between analyzing numbers when that is called for and applying existing formulas when that is more appropriate. You're the person who uses the formulas to direct the action.
>Tips :
1.Consider integrating data analysis as a regular tool for your problem-solving.
2.Make sure numbers somehow supplement and support your other activities, even if only occasionally or indirectly.
3.If you work in data analysis, do some research on the project to give you a broader frame of reference and comprehension of any underlying assumptions.
