  • You may get more time to yourself. This will offer an individual time to analyze the answers on board or the solutions
  • It makes you special and you stand out from the crowd. This creates a leader from the others and prestige kicks on
  • People may like you for having interesting different things to say. This gives an individual a chance to become a leader among the others because of always coming with unique ideas (Gray, 2010).
