Don’t know if you’re a Scanner?

You can spot them easily: Scanners are some of the nicest, most interesting (and interested) people in the world; eclectic experts, delightful dilettantes, and totally under-rated geniuses who have the fascinating trait of losing interest in something once the learning part is over: good people who are tired of trying to change themselves and ready to find the life that suits them as they are.
With those measures, look around and see if you can find some Scanners in your life. Or in the mirror.

Oh yes, I’m pretty sure I’m a scanner. I’ve always said that my depths are pretty shallow and been self-deprecating about my ‘Jill of all trades’ approach. Recently I’ve come to believe that ‘broad is as valid as deep’. Even if I only have 2 or 3 books on the go at a time and DO tend to complete 90& of the tasks I start, this is so recognisably me. I’m a women’s life coach and coach mentor, web designer, photographer, singer and groovy granny.
This is a great website, by the way!

Just one other thing – I read somewhere that Scanners are procrastinators. I’m not. But I’m SURE I’m a Scanner.
