The same traits are key for succeeding in the workplace.Let’s do a thought exercise. Imagine that you were selected by NASA to be part of an experiment designed to simulate a four-month mission on Mars. The objective of the experiment is to study what actual life on Mars would be like, physically and psychologically, under tightly controlled conditions, with a small group of people together constantly in close quarters.
Considering the delicate nature of space missions, what do you think NASA would consider to be the three most important traits for anyone who gets chosen to be part of the crew? Before continuing to the next section, take a moment to think to come up with your guesses for what the correct answers would be.Before I reveal the answer, you should know that such an experiment was actually. It was called the Hawai’i Space Exploration Analog and Simulation, or HI-SEAS.
So, then, coming back to the question of the three most important personality traits, did you come up with your guesses? If one of your guesses was “,” that’s a nice guess but remember that intelligence is a basic trait for any aspiring astronaut and without it you can’t even become an astronaut in the first place. But just because you’re an astronaut doesn’t mean you get to be on a four-month mission to Mars. That requires something more.
A very timely analysis, here!
