These people enjoy solving complex problems where they can use their analytical skills. They prefer ideas and concepts over people or things. They like working alone, observing interesting phenomena, learning, exploring their surroundings, and solving problems - especially in scientific fields. Investigative types have highly developed abstract thinking and dislike repetitive activities. They always gather many details before reaching a final conclusion, though sometimes they can't see the forest for the trees. They always want to know the reasons behind a decision, then analyze the findings, and only then make their choice. They are reluctant to express or assert their opinions.
