Comparing Wingnut's Strengths And Weaknesses

• Abilities/Skills When analyzing Benson’s behavior and how it contributed to the problems in the meson lab, it becomes evident that although both Benson and Wingnut’s had similar physic background, Benson had a higher ability to utilize his practical intelligence compared to Wignut and most people in the office. As the case unfolds, there is no solid evidence of Benson giving direct feedback on solving the projects. He only gave suggestions on how to run team meetings and revisiting a problem that the team chose to let go of.
