·       I have the ability to talk with and have good interactions with almost anyone. 

·       I have a very strong interest in natural history.

·       I have the ability to teach people things that interest them in a way that is not pedantic or monotonous.

·       I do my best to listen and pay attention to people, especially when they have a want or need to share something. I’m quite good at using active listening to engage in a conversation that helps people talk through something they’re dealing with. 

·       I can learn to become efficient at a repetitive process quite quickly. This is useful for life on earth!

2) Interview summaries

Morgan

You have an interest in entomology. Nobody else I know has that interest.

Very knowledgeable with books. Also good with woodcarving. Also with electronics. Very booksmart.

Bernadette

Caring, outgoing, like nature, bring out different qualities in your wife.

You like to learn stuff. You’re a go getter. You’re very handy with electronics.

Kim

Always willing to jump in, no matter what it is, and volunteer to help. You like to learn and help.

The skill of narcolepsy (especially after dinner). Computer savvy.

Rodney

You’re meek, mild person. I appreciate the love you show the family. Always willing to learn and I like that. 

You grasp a lot of knowledge in the area of nature and wildlife. That’s probably your end goal is to do something with that (conservation officer). 

Dan

You have an outgoing personality. You’re different from your parents and that’s a good thing! You don’t give off a phony put-on that some in your family have. 

You have a way with wildlife and you’re also computer savvy.

3) It was nice to know that people recognize positive attributes like the willingness to get in and help out. I appreciated people’s acknowledgement of my greatest interest which is all things nature and wildlife. One aspect that I was not expecting was that people had the perception that I am tech-savvy, something I would kindly disagree with. This perception came primarily from an older demographic. 

There are no major changes in the list I created above from the attributes obtained in the interviews. Some points overlap and others do not. None are in conflict with each other however.
