Are you analytic? Do you dig deep into the data of a problem to find the root cause?
Even those of us who embrace analysis can forget that the data may be flawed. It may reflect an undetected perspective. It may even be compromised with an agenda.
No matter what the data says (and it's easy to miss this when we really like what the data says) it is important to check it for accuracy. Test it.
Successful centered problem solvers embrace the data but test it carefully.
Maybe it's true, maybe it's useful -- but maybe it's not.
Who do you have checking your data?
