Hi Man, thank you for that really good video. I am a german girl. I read two books from barbara sher, where she talks about scanners. I want to ask you a question: "How can i be sure that i am really a scanner and really NOT a specialist type personality?"

@christina4699 - There are no hard rules for it. If you think you're a scanner, chances are you probably are.

@TotalKombatArts - It's funny. I didn't realize just how many scanners were attracted to my Blog. Makes sense.

Hi Man, your opening is brilliant, but the desk isn't working for you. Try standing up (it's more open and engaging) and using a blue/green screen to insert a cool background :D

One other facet that always gets underestimated is how brutal Specialists can be towards Scanners, when in fact 90% of their criticism often stems from garden-variety jealousy. The Specialist knows they cannot do what a Scanner does and often resents it. They label Scanners as frivolous or wasting their lives, when in fact they harbor a deep envy of the Scanner's seemingly endless abilities to learn new things. And as many times a Specialist makes more $ than a Scanner, they use that for "proof"
