Human Capability Maturity

According to me there are four categories of people. Every one of us lies in to all these four categories for different skills. But dominant characteristic will decides individual category. I think moving from analyzer to actor/creator is difficult and from actor/creator to spiritual is even more difficult. Our current society prepare us to become analyzer and informer.

1. Informer – Such persons has lots of information. Something like live encyclopedia. You have very high chances of getting the latest information from such persons. Their expertise is not limited to one field but rather many fields. Although they are bestowed with very good memory but not necessarily with great (every one has some) great amount of analytical ability. They normally don’t form their opinion based on analysis but rather based on their preferred experts. I think people like quiz master will qualify for such categorization.

2. Analyzer – Such person are very good at analyzing data, finding trends (even hidden one), making logical conclusion. They can create theories, form their own opinion based on their own analysis. Professors, scientist, Guru, critics, consultant etc. will fall into this category. Even though they have capability to see through data, derive conclusions, they find it difficult to act or arrange necessary resources to act on these results. Although many of them influence the action of those who will act on these results.

3. Actor/Creator – Such person may not have great deal of information or create theories but one who acts. Even though these people find it difficult provide theories behind their actions, they understand things intuitively. Such person need not be formally educated. Leaders, Entrepreneur, painter, musicians etc. will fall in this category. Such people might have strong opinion and can be highly emotional. In fact a formally educated person might find it hard to be actor or creator because it requires ability to take risks. Once a person graduates he can expect a decent paying job. He has spent more that quarter of his life for having this option and it just increases the stake against trying something new.

4. Spiritual – Such people are next level of actor. They not only act or create but also understand what they are doing, why they are doing. They also understand why other are acting in certain ways which could be different from their and appreciate it. They are somewhat detached from what they are doing. Statesman, spiritual Guru etc. will fall in this category.
