Alien Cat

Key traits — Unusual mind · Out of step · Own world · Does not explain

What you are like — You are a genuinely distinctive type. It is not that you do not want to join in, it is that you are on a different channel. What you find interesting takes the table two seconds to react to. What they are discussing, you often cannot pick up, and you do not want to pretend you can.

Your strengths

· Your ideas do not look like anyone else’s

· You do not follow trends or need approval to start

· Wide and deep interests, so there is always something in you

· Genuine: you will not edit yourself to fit in

Your weaknesses

· You cost effort to follow, and people have to work at it

· Saying never mind closes the subject for good

· You get read as hard to approach

· You never explain yourself, so the misreadings accumulate

In love — What you need is somebody willing to ask what you meant. Most people nod as if they followed, and you cannot tell a real nod from a polite one. You are not looking for somebody who understands you. You are looking for somebody who asks.

At work — You suit creative work, R&D, content, anything that needs a line of thinking nobody else brought. You are wrong in highly standardised process work where everyone has to match.

Best match — Looking Away Cat and Peeking Cat. neither expects to be followed

Hardest work — OU Cat and Banana Cat. their noise does not reach you and your jokes do not reach them

One line for you — Stop saying never mind. If somebody asks, give them one sentence, then stop.
