			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/undergroundbastard/"><img alt="fremitic ideation" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2591/3744177054_ce806aedbd_m_d.jpg" title="fremitic ideation" class="alignleft" width="180" height="240" /></a> Have you ever heard of <a href="http://sf1.strengthsfinder.com/en-us/faqs/default.aspx#WhatIsStrengthsFinder" target="_blank">strengthsfinder.com</a>? It has nothing to do with the image on the left. I searched for <a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=ideation&#038;l=cc&#038;ss=0&#038;ct=0&#038;mt=all&#038;w=all&#038;adv=1">Ideation</a> and don&#8217;t you think this one is pretty crazy?</p>
<p>Anyway, some time ago at the place I worked we all read the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Marcus-Buckingham/e/B001H6NQ20/">first 2 books</a>. The second we&#8217;d refer to as now-disco. Almost like one word. I&#8217;ve always thought of them as, &#8220;First, Break Now, Disco&#8221;.  One guy added &#8220;<a href="http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/The_Simpsons/Season_11#Grift_of_the_Magi_.5B11.09.5D">stabby</a>&#8221; to his strengths. </p>
<p>I took the test again and this time, my top strengths are: <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ideation">Ideation</a>, <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/intellection">Intellection</a>, Maximizer, Learner and Input.  A colleague suggested to create a mnemonic and &#8220;I&#8217;d tell Max, learn to putt.&#8221;, is what I made. If you&#8217;ve taken the test, what are your strengths? What acronym or other phrase could you craft them in to? </p>
