As an 
Uncertainty Optimist, 

you may:

  • Overworry
  • Like to be in control
  • Are less receptive to differing opinions to your own
  • Can get caught in indecision paralysis
  • Rush to get an answer just to get certainty 
  • Find it hard to adapt your thinking.

OK, so you have a moderate tolerance to uncertainty - how can you work with that?

You display some of the key responses needed to turn uncertainty into opportunity.

This is great news!

You have the awareness needed to break habitual responses to unpredictable situations and are beginning to build your tolerance to ambiguity.

But it’s important to keep an eye on these responses; uncertainty tolerance can fluctuate depending on your stress levels.

For example, if you’re stressed, you might have lower resilience to cope with new challenges.

A good way to handle this is to build a better understanding of the situations that might trigger anxiety or stress; this will help you regulate your emotions - which will increase uncertainty tolerance.

So, from this solid foundation, the only way is up! 

Build on that uncertainty tolerance and see what potential you can unlock. 

Why does uncertainty tolerance matter?

Uncertainty tolerance matters because it indicates how you deal with the unknown, which in turn impacts your overall well-being.

Higher uncertainty tolerance leads to:

💪🏽 Improved decision-making skills

🧭 Greater ability to navigate the unknown

🙂 Greater patience for unfamiliar experiences and individuals

🤔 Greater capacity for problem-solving

Lower uncertainty tolerance leads to:

😬 Increased anxiety
