Consider how these can be capitalised on in subject curriculum planning:

• Competitiveness with peers
• Adventurous with ideas - willing to take risks
• Prefer experiential learning style and spatial and technical tasks
• Work quickly and efficiently to priorities - can write concisely
• Prefer factual, informative writing and non fictional reading
• Like a 'good laugh'; tend to opt for open discussion and physical involvement
• Display leadership skills in speaking and listening
• React positively to short term goals and immediate rewards
• More overtly confident than reflective
