Bryan McFarland's Problem Solving Experience:
- I've engaged in amateur theoretical physics and discovered dark energy may in fact be a manifestation of time dilation; I also discovered time and gravity are proportional. I'm currently working on the problem of time dilation in quantum mechanics. Although these are not completely original thoughts, they demonstrates my innate ability for solving abstract and complex problems using mental imagery.
- I've developed dozens of proprietary team-building initiatives utilizing portable recreational equipment. This demonstrates my creativity.
- I was on the leading edge of utilizing outdoor adventure sports as a recreation therapy intervention for those with substance abuse and dependence disorders. This was done primarily to elicit intense stimulation as a replacement for the stimulating substance.
- I'm an INTP personality type and enjoy solving problems in everything I do. Most of these are small innovations and improvements, but I also enjoy thinking about and solving global, theological and cosmic ones as well.
