I am definitely a multipotentialite although I was unaware of this until moments ago. How wonderful to gain that understanding and to learn that there are others like me!
I have had over 35 jobs or careers in my life, sometimes as many as four at one time. I still don't know what I want to be if I grow up, but I am in my upper fifties so I may have to decide soon.
I remember being in school and changing my field of study. It was a difficult time as I was interested in everything and it seemed overwhelming to choose something and stick to that long enough to achieve it. I did manage to 'master' a variety of different skills (to a level I was happy with) and it has made for a very interesting life.
This was an excellent talk, and I thank you Emilie for helping me to gain some understanding. This came at a good time for me as I am feeling some worry about my path in the future and this makes me think with my diverse abilities I am going to be OK. Thanks!

I'm a multipoitentialite, who is trapped and unable to have the freedom to do what I do best and love to do. Even if my husband supported my work, I still wouldn't be paid to do what I love doing (and am good at), nor would I want to charge people. Not being paid, it costing us resources and energy, and the fact I have to share my attention and time with many people is why I am not allowed to do my work. It is expected that I give all my love, attention, and time to my husband, and only him. He doesn't even like sharing me with out children. So this talk was great, and further contributes to my self- crisis.

I consider myself a multpotentialite being a doctor in two subspecialties, teacher, and musician

I most definitely consider myself a "multipotentialite" . At first and at heart i always wanted to be a mother every since i can remember and after that, ark being a mother you want to be the best mother you can and that involves a lot of knowledge or ability to do all kinds of things and of course you want to do the best you can at anything you learn. Well i do anyway and yeah i suppose at times it is confusing you get a feeling of oh what's the word i am looking for , unstablility. Then you get a lot of " you can't do that!" or " that is not going to get you any where or what you need don't be silly". But you know what i say i want to learn everything, everything i can get my hands on =) and be proud of all the things i do know.

I feel like it is an light bulb moment. I love art, gardening, reading, writing, the human mind, mental health, design, building, nature, being around my kids. I'm a mum who has come to a cross roads. My kids are teens now and it's time for me to choose my next chapter. I work in admin but it's not my calling. So in search for the new chapter. I dropped out of of civil engineering when I realized I hated math. 20 odd years later I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Maybe I could work in comedy!

I think I'm more of a multipotentialite since I have interest in so many different fields. I got a lot of interest in politics, marketing, programming, management etc. It's hard for me to choose a job that will satisfy only one of those fields. In the future, I want to find a job that will give me the possibility of using knowledge in all those subjects I like.

A specialist because I found what I want to do in the future.

Specialist

I have never heard of the description before now - it's a good one
I hope that it becomes more prevalent
I think that the negative aspect has been said to me - that although i start many things enthusiastically but don't finish them - and I think that may be one aspect of multipotentialites - without the potential aspect taken into account

I consider my self a multipotentialite, and I consider it as a confusing thing to be.
