大多数的特质都像是一把双刃剑，可以带来好处和坏处。这一特质越极端，可能产生的好结果或坏结果就会越极端。比方说，一个富有创造力、以目标为导向、擅长于构思新想法的人可能会忽视日常生活的细节，但其实这是很重要的，他可能太过注重追求长期目标，而不屑于注重生活细节的人。同样，一个以任务为导向、注重细节的人可能会不重视创造力、甚至会以效率为由遏制创造力。这两个人或许能组成一支很棒的团队，但也可能在实现互补上存在困难，因为他们的思维方式使彼此很难看到对方思维方式的价值。 Most attributes are a double-edged sword that bring potential benefits and potential harm. The more extreme the attribute, the more extreme the potential good or bad outcomes it is likely to produce. For example, a highly creative, goal-oriented person good at imagining new ideas might undervalue the minutiae of daily life, which is also important; he might be so driven in his pursuit of long-term goals that he might have disdain for people who focus on the details of daily life. Similarly, a task-oriented person who is great with details might undervalue creativity–and worse still, may squelch it in the interests of efficiency. These two people might make a great team, but are likely to have trouble taking advantage of the ways they're complementary, because the ways their minds work make it difficult for them to see the value of each other's ways of thinking.
