I have had the opportunity to take the StrengthsQuest assessment a few times now and apply my top five strengths to various areas of my life. This spring semester alone, three of my courses have evaluated the results of StrengthsQuest. Regardless of how many times I take the assessment or how many times I hear the same, lively presentation by Jaime Gresley, one thing holds true: I manage to keep learning more about myself. It is amazing how five traits can be so applicable in numerous areas of my life. My top five strengths have been fairly consistent each time I take the assessment, with only one of my top five wavering back and forth (futuristic and deliberative). This most recent time I took the assessment, my top five strengths were competition, analytical, individualization, focus, and futuristic. The first time I took the StrengthsQuest assessment and saw that my top strength was competition, I doubted the legitimacy of the results. I wouldn’t have defined myself as “competitive.” Sure, I love to win, but how is that a strength? StrengthsQuest educated me on what it truly means to be endowed with the trait of competition. Someone who holds the strength of competition utilizes comparisons and naturally recognizes, evaluates, and measures the performance of their peers. People who have competition as a strength are not satisfied by reaching their goals, but by outperforming everyone else. In my life as a student, this means that I not only set goals of achievement for
People have many different strengths in their lives. According to the strengthsfinder my top five five strength are input, harmony, maximize, communication, and responsibility. I will be utilizing my strengths in many different ways whether it's at work, home or school. While at work, home, or school I will use my input with making different decision. Utilizing input is very important for so many different reason.

After completing the strength finder 2.0 assessment, the five strengths that were identified were Focus, Achiever, Learner, Intellection and Discipline.
Strengths Finder 2.0 uses an online assessment to evaluate the individuals unique talents by having the taker rate how they view a particular question in 20 seconds or less (Rath, 2007). After taking the assessment, my five strengths were determined to be achiever, maximizer, input, arranger, and
Based on the Clifton Strengths Assessment my top five strengths are strategic, deliberative, learner, maximize and individualization. As an individual, I rarely look into my weakness. I believe that when your too focused on your weakness, you forget about your strengths. Everything the book said is true, and we need to take the time to look at our strengths and make it perfect. It is true that in this world or the school system, we are taught to look at our weakness and correct it so that we can become stronger in our life. This book brings out the truth that I longed to hear for a long time. Invariably, I hear my professor tell their students that for them success in life, they must practice and look at our weakness. This book proves it wrong because for us to become successful, we must stay to our strengths’ path.
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.
Tom Rath’s “Strengths Finder 2.0” on-line assessment identified that my top five strengths are: Strategic, Focus, Futuristic, Significance, and Learner. I see the Strength Finder Assessment as a great opportunity to get to know my personal strengths and it motivates me to work and practice my talents rather than trying to fix my weaknesses. Looking only at my strengths is a new type of skills-building which allows me to stay focus on my talents.
These strengths include organization, participation, and creation of checklists. I feel I stay very organized in this class, as I have all of my documents organized inside my binder ready for a notebook check. In regards to participation, I try my best to raise my hand nearly every class. I stay active and focused so that I can obtain all of the information. I also ask questions frequently which helps me to avoid mistakes or any confusion. My final strength, the fact that I create checklists, has benefitted me immensely. Checklists help to make sure all requirements are met for any project or essay, which is how I received a 91 on my Pilgrim Presentation and an 85 on my Canterbury Tales Short Essay. Checklists have helped me to score higher on assignments with multiple requirements, but not all assignments were as simple as creating a
Gallup’s (2017) StrengthsQuest assessment lists my five greatest strengths as competition, achiever, learner, input, and strategic. After reviewing the detailed descriptions of these strengths, I am confident that I can successfully apply these skills to my job as an investigator and further develop my capacity in leadership. Before taking this survey, I was certain that focus would be among my five greatest strengths, but after considering the book’s description of the achiever theme, I am convinced of the accuracy of this evaluation. Outlined below is my interpretation of these talents, their intrinsic drawbacks, and several illustrations of how they have helped me achieve success. I have also included a few examples of how I can implement
I like to be Faced with any given scenario they can quickly spot the relevant patterns and issues.. I improve things about myself and other people or situations. I am “fascinated by problems that puzzle,confound or frustrate most people”. My other strength is Belief. I have certain core values that are unchanging. My family is my top priority and I am driven by my talents. The strengthsquest helped me understand who really I am. I am always been an independent person who wants to complete every wish my family dreams about. A person who’s only goal in life is to make my life proud. It helped me understand what are my quantiles that my friends and family like about me. It showed me what are my strong point are like my beliefs. It also helped me what my strong leadership skills
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.

After comparing how this person thought their top and bottom five strengths should be ordered versus where the actual results placed them, we would review the descriptions of the strengths that they want to increase in the rankings. For example, my lowest ranking strength is “Modesty and Humility”, an area that I thought would have ranked much closer to my top five strengths. The description of this trait says, “You do not seek the spotlight, preferring to let your accomplishments speak for themselves. You do not regard yourself as special, and others
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.
