# Be a T-skilled person Created On: 11-01-2022 10:18 am Up:: [[Knowledge]] Tags:: #note/evergreen🌲 Topics:: [[Skill]] Related:: --- An "I-skilled person" is someone who has an extremely deep understanding of a given topic or subject matter that is very narrow. While this can be seen as positive, in most cases, and as the world has evolved, it feels like people are expected to be more "well-rounded" or multidisciplinary in their skill sets to be successful. This is where the concept of a "T-person" comes into play. This person is someone who has a deep understanding of the same topic/matter, but also has enough understanding in other relevant/adjacent areas to be more effective in a broader sense than the "I-person". For example, an "I-person" may be really good at taking photos. However, a "T-person" not only has a great eye and can execute photography well, but they can also pair the photo with effective marketing and branding strategy - unlocking its impact potential.
