You're an Engineer

You aim to persuade through logic alone, and people tend to remember your conclusions more than the words you used. You get frustrated that so much emotion goes into other people’s decisions, and sometimes you can’t understand why your facts and overwhelming logic fail to persuade. You need to overcome your reluctance toward tropes, including irony. When reality doesn’t work for you, change it. Your analytical ability, combined with a skilful paradigm shifter like the belonging trope, can produce an unforgettable, persuasive slogan.
