Experience: Strengths Finder Assessment

The need for another personality test seems small. Personality tests have been in use in American since 1943 when the Meyers Briggs was first published (OPP, 2015). The field is now very diverse. With the Meyers Briggs and Smalley’s Animal Types on one end to What Star Wars Character Are You? On the other, these tests run the gambit from serious to funny, and then on down to time wasters. To really prove your usefulness, a new test must fill a niche in the market. Something only your test can provide. However the 34 vaguely worded themes give no great bit of detail to really

Today, the modern medical model worldview bases its functions on the concept of deficit-based and disease process as a means of understanding human behavior, as advanced by the DSM and psychopathology. However, the medical society fails to recognize the impact of this worldview on an individual’s view about all human behavior, and human inability to designate behavior in various contexts. According to the article, Graybeal (2001) argues that this approach is commonplace in social services, where people’s perception about behavior influences how services are provided, which in turn limits access to services. The worldview also considerably affects the perceptions of customers and practitioners in the world (Graybeal, 2001).

Gallup’s (2017) StrengthsQuest assessment lists my five greatest strengths as competition, achiever, learner, input, and strategic.

I don't usually like reading unless it is in an area that I have an interest in but wow, StrengthsQuest was very inspiring and motivational. I loved the stories of Kerri Strug and her determination to win the gold in the 1996 Olympic games, and the story of teacher Angel Alcoser, and how she found children's talents and gave them encouragement to work on their strengths(Clfton, Anderson, Schreiner, 2006,pp.1-11). In taking the StrengthsFinder Survey, I discovered pretty much what I already knew about myself and my themes where Futuristic, Ideation, Significance, Individualization, and Achiever.

Problem solving approach is a traditional and foundational aspect of general Social Work practice. It is based on identifying a problem or set of problems facing a client and formulating a framework of possible options with the hope of fixing the problem or improving the situation. Although, the worker may guide the client and inform them of the possibilities and options available, the client is still solely responsible for their own choices and actions. The formal application of this principle is the definition, assessment, setting of goals, intervention and resolution.

According to the Strengths Finder Survey which identified my top five strengths by analyzing my answers to the questions asked of me on a website they are as follows: Strategic, Deliberative, Context, Adaptability and Learner.

The Strength Finders test by Gallup took about an hour asking me decision based question about society, beliefs, and personal decision of my day-to-day life.

My strength include context, significance, command, woo, and competition, in which it focuses in my life and gives me the power, motivation, inspiration, in my daily life.

My understandings of strengths based perspective come from both class discussions and from reading chapter one in the text written by Dennis Saleebey. Strengths based theory is a type of practice in the social work profession that helps the clients see their problems or struggles from a positive perspective, what I mean by this is that instead of using the clients problems to guide the focus of the sessions and practice. The social worker practitioner uses the person’s strengths, abilities and willpower to guide the client in helping the client improve their quality of life. Though in the reading the author goes in-depth about strengths based perspective the point of strengths based perspective is to help the client see that no matter what circumstances they have been in or currently are experiencing, every single person and family has strengths.

This internal focus tends to have me be labeled as quiet or reserved but this internal world of thinking and reflection is a fertile place for ideas where I can plan and organize tasks. Being “organized and methodical,” (BSM Consulting, Inc., n.d.) ISTJ’s “can generally succeed at any task which they undertake” (BSM Consulting, Inc., n.d.) although the area that can undermine this is my lack of self-confidence.
