Kerri Strengthsquest: A Self Analysis

To no great surprise, the results of the StrengthsFinder survey revealed that my five strengths are; Restorative, Empathy, Harmony, Adaptability, and Arranger. While reading each of the strengths, I found myself agreeing aloud with each one. For example, in 2014 my family had a wonderful birthday/Spring Break trip planned for my son, three days prior my beloved grandmother passed away unexpectedly. I was faced with, what I consider, a difficult situation. How could I leave my mother and aunt with making funeral arrangements along? After months of planning, how could I tell my children that we would need to cancel our week long family vacation? In an effort to fulfill my obligations with everyone, I decided that we would go on our family vacation.

As I have mentioned above, that achiever, strategic, learner, belief, and responsibility are my top five themes as revealed by StrengthsFinder. I was astounded and amazed after reading the detail description of my personal five themes, because these are the most consistent behaviors that I display in my daily personal and professional life. I think this assessment is reliable and trustworthy, because the result provided on the bases of my responses drew an accurate picture of my strengths.

I have learned many things from my experience with Strengths finder. I have learned that my strengths have given me a different sense of who I am. My strengths also helped me to find out what I am good at, and this will help me to improve myself as a person. I look back on myself and see that I am successful academically. I am able to write down assignments, and make things more organized to make my academic career a little easier. I have made game plans for what to do and when to do it as a result of Strengths finder. I have also managed to take on a big amount of responsibility by making sure that I’m doing everything, and doing it right on time. I can see my strengths represented through my vocation, which is not only to be a responsible

Upon completion of the StrengthsFinder survey, I discovered that my five greatest strengths were Achiever, Discipline, Responsibility, Relator, and Competition. However, I was skeptical about the initial results until I read what each strength entails. I found most of the information given to be accurate. According to the description of those strengths, I discovered that I use them daily without realizing it.

My top 5 themes from the StrengthsQuest Inventory are Maximizer, Relator, Adaptability, Includer, and Belief.

When one thinks of the word “strong,” he or she thinks about weightlifting, muscles, and physically demanding tasks. But when I hear the word “strong,” I think of power, or what makes one powerful. What makes me powerful are the qualities that further build me up as a person. The StrengthsFinder Inventory identifies my powerful qualities through my top five themes, which are Significance, Achiever, Responsibility, Focus, and Relator. My Signature Themes present my five most prevailing themes of talent, in the rank order revealed by my responses to the StrengthsFinder Inventory. They are very important because they can ultimately lead to my successes in the near future. Who says being physically fit is what makes me stronger? My strengths

Discovering ones strengths is an important process that every young adult should strive to achieve, that is why I was excited to take the Gallup Strengthfinder Assessment. This test aims to highlight each individual’s unique assets, which is possible by completing a short evaluation. Then the poll produces the top five signature themes out of thirty-four possible options. Like many, I was very eager to learn something new about myself. This came as no surprise once I received my test results which are closely related to knowledge.

I recently took the StrengthsFinder assessment for a class, which after a series of questions determined that my three greatest strengths are that I’m deliberative, disciplined, and an achiever. I felt that these strengths were accurate at describing me well. I have always been very deliberative when making decisions, as I like to evaluate all of the options and evidence, before I make a decision and I very rarely do things on a whim. One particular example of a decision I made after a lot of deliberation was when I was deciding which college to attend roughly four years ago. After researching and visiting all of the schools I had been accepted to, I made a chart in which I ranked all of the schools in a wide variety of characteristics that

I usually have a sense of who I am and my strengths, but I can never seem to express it in words. So this evaluation of my strengths really helped to do that for me. My top five themes are strategic, context, discipline, consistency and futuristic. And it says that those who are strategic can spot patterns in any given situation and create solutions. I agree on parts of this because I like thinking about cause and effect, but I don’t think about the multiple solutions and then pick the best. For context, it is those who think about the past and use that to connect it with the present. I do this every day. I’m always thinking so that is probably why I do like talking about the past with other individuals. And yes, problematic issues, like wars, do interest me. For discipline, it is those who like structure and routine. I can’t believe how accurate the discipline trait is for me. The whole passage described me so well, and when going over it in the book, I am just blown away by its accuracy. I’ve always believed in equality and wouldn’t want to give someone an advantage over another. I love it when things go smoothly and easy for myself and others. I am an orderly person so the 1, 2, 3, step methods are easy for me to follow and preferable. For consistency, it is those who try to treat others equally and live the world by being consistent on their beliefs. This passage also described me so very well. The first part of it was quite similar to

I’ve taken strength-based surveys before and I am always fascinated with what they allow me to learn about myself. Rarely have I’ve taken a strength-based where I didn’t learn something new about myself. There was a point in my life where I had wished I paid more attention to what the information told me; if I had paid attention my school career would’ve gone a completely different route. I eventuality got to the point where I feel like I was on the right path, there was just added bumps in the road that I learned from. This was the first time where I’ve taken a strength-based survey that listed my strengths out the way it does. It was interesting to read each character strength and see how it really relates in my life.

In the past couple of weeks I found a common theme about my personality and my strengths through Strengthsfinder, MBTI, and the FOCUS 2 assessments. I have come into touch with my strengths of adaptability, competition, empathy, curiosity, communication, and consistency. On all three assessments I have learned that I am an excellent communicator. For example, on the FOCUS 2 assessment I scored a high of twenty five for the strength of being social and had a score of zero for conventional on the bottom of my chart. As for the personality assessment, I learned I was a campaigner. This is somebody who enjoys emotional connections with other people and somebody who thrives off curiosity and energy. Lastly, the Strengthsfinder assessment allowed me to come in touch with

My Signature Themes are achiever, arranger, responsibility, input, and significance. Each of these are very significant in defining my strengths and showing me how to best use my strengths in my future. My first strength was achiever and this is representing me as a whole, and is what I use in everyday life. I am a driven person who wants to accomplish many things and I visualize my life as a mountain that I will overcome every day and at the end of every day I will have a beautiful view of what I have accomplished. I use every day in events such as: relentless volunteering, working long hours and everything is done with an impeccable sense of satisfaction after completion. My second and third strengths are arranger and responsibility. These

My evaluation test to see what matched my interests and personality reinforced my decision on continuing the Business Administration path towards a human resource specialist degree. The exercise helped me recognize the strengths I have that will be beneficial in the workplace, attention to detail which is a plus from me since I am very organized, stress tolerance which I can manage, Integrity is another positive quality I have, as well as dependability and initiative, I can work alone and get things done. After the exercise I got my score and continued where it said “Job Zones,” and my great fit based on my interests it just so happened to be the job that I am aspiring. There are many small tasks that my career requires and I feel confident

Coming to college, I have discovered many strengths and weaknesses about myself that I didn’t know existed. Adjusting to living in a dorm is tricky, especially living with someone I barely know. When I really thought about it, the strengths and weaknesses about my personality never occurred. After taking a quiz on the Strengthsquest website, my results on the themes given to me were shocking yet obvious. The five dominant themes of strength and/or talents I was given listed as: empathy, developer, activator, individualization, and relator.

According to the Strengths Quest survey, my five individual strength areas fell within the larger areas of external, motivation, internal and interaction which involve connecting, mobilizing, energizing, and reflecting. My five strengths found were strategic, activator, communication, analytical, and competition (Clifton, Anderson, & Schreiner, 2006). Each of my five strengths really paint a true picture of who I am as an individual and as an educator. Being aware of my strengths has allowed me the opportunity to choose the right career path and opened the door for many opportunities to do something great with the students I work with. Having my students succeed in life is my goal as an educator and human being regardless of their upbringings,
