This exercise asks you to describe who you are and what you do, but instead of using five words, you'll use five simple visual symbols or icons.
Think of each symbol as a tiny, powerful picture that represents one main aspect of your personality, job, or role in life.
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Identify Your Five Core Functions: First, list the five most important things you do or are. Don't worry about symbols yet.
- Example: Teacher, Planner, Listener, Problem-Solver, Friend.
- Match Each Function to a Concrete Image: For each item on your list, think of a very simple, well-known image or symbol that directly relates to that function.
- If you are a **Planner:** You might pick a **Clock** (to represent time management) or a **Calendar** (to represent scheduling).
- If you are a **Problem-Solver:** You might pick a **Lightbulb** (for ideas) or a **Wrench** (for fixing things).
- Refine Your Symbol and Write the Explanation: Once you have your symbol, your explanatory text should clearly state: **"This symbol represents..."** and then describe the function you chose in Step 1.
In short: Pick five things you do, and then find a simple picture or icon that stands for each one.
