Mechanist

You're always looking at the world through a different set of lenses, so to speak, than everyone else.

You've become quite good over the years at your job and your fingers have become nimble enough to allow for very intricate workings with small devices, which has allowed you to become adept at making those designs and dreams into a reality.

Suggested Characteristics

Where other are content with the world around them, you only see how to create and improve the things around you. You live by the thought that there is always something new to learn. You love taking things apart, seeing how they function, and putting back together with your own spin on them. Your natural curiosity is what pushes you forward.
