- Questioning – innovators constantly ask questions. They question the unquestionable. They ask “what-if?, “Why?”, “Why not?” They get a kick out of messing with the status quo.
- Observing – scrutinizing everything from common phenomena to outliers. They watch, and in doing so, question, and associate.
- Experimenting – innovators experiment with ideas, intellectually, and in the real world. They go see for themselves, try new things, observe the outcomes.
