Curious

You’re naturally inclined to seek out new things.

icon-analytical-purple

Analytical

Thinking deeply about subjects comes easily to you.

icon-document-purple

Perceptive

You often pick up on the meaning behind things that others miss.

Congratulations — you are the Informer! Inquisitive, analytical and perceptive, you naturally gather knowledge as you move through life. You’re probably the person your friends turn to when they want insight and well-thought-out advice. Fun facts? You’ve got one for every situation!

Because of your natural curiosity and interest in communication, you’re drawn toward knowledge-centric careers. Informers are often found in jobs that involve researching, analysing and communicating information. If you’re looking for some career inspiration, some good places to start are in the professional services, scientific, and educational sectors.

Any fool can know. The point is to understand.”

– Albert Einstein

Technical skills

While technical skills depend largely on the industry or occupation you’re in, here are some skills in demand across the Informer cluster.

 

Data analysis

Gone are the days when data was just for analysts. Across organisations big and small, and across all industries, data is playing a significant role. Whatever your role, you’ll find data analysis useful for gaining useful insights and making more evidence-driven decisions.

 

Report writing

Writing good reports is both an art and a science. The best ones can inform, but also persuade and even entertain by shaping a narrative from dry facts. Chances are that if you’re a knowledge worker, you need to be able to produce reports to explain important information and distribute it to colleagues.

 

Policy development

Policies and procedures are an important part of many organisations and become particularly key in government roles. If you plan on taking a management or leadership role, you’ll be well-advised to brush up on this skill.
