My Strengths Analysis

Skepticism at its finest has been overturned. As I was taking the Clifton StrengthsFinder survey, I found myself questioning how accurate the results would be; however, as I read the descriptions of each strength, I found myself looking right back at me. According to the StrengthsFinder survey, my five greatest strengths are achiever, strategic, responsibility, learner and relator.

There are strengths that I have yet to discover or recognized within myself. But, If I were to select only five strengths that I have recognized within myself, they would be: my strength of intuitiveness, the power of being a good listener, my willpower, the extreme organizational skills, and open-mindedness. All of the strengths depend on each other to thrive

Personal strengths are attributes that come naturally and easy to yourself. When I think of my own personal strengths I think of determination, leadership, and passion.

Upon receiving a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the Haskayne School of Business (HSB), I aspire to graduate with marks of excellence. Through constant perseverance, I aim to increase my communication skills to make me an excellent team player and become a reliable leader. As a result, I will have a vast network of business contacts.

The five strengths identified by the StrengthFinder survey were deliberative, achiever, responsibility, restorative, and focus (Gallup, 2010). This is the first time that I have taken a survey of this kind. I think that some of the information obtained from the results of this survey could help me to learn more about myself, and the direction I am or have headed in. There are a few ways that I can use or plan to use the strengths in my life.

The results of my strengths from the VIA Institute indicated what my strengths were in order from 1 to 24. The high ranked the strength the more I used it in my everyday life. The results made me a little concerned as to weather or not I did it right. The top five don 't fit me as much as I would like. I received the results as Humor, Fairness, Loving to learn, Honesty, and Creativity. These are my top five used strengths, but I don 't use half of these on a regular bases so how can they me my strengths. I feel like the results are just not the true me. The fact that I feel that way has to be my own fault because I was not honesty to myself about all the questions. When we did the Myers-Briggs test I took that test four different times and I came back with different results every time. So the last test was more of how I view myself and less on what I want to be. I think that I needed to do the same with this test. If I had taken it a few times I would have been more honest about what my true strengths may actually be. In this reflection paper I will discuss each of the five strengths and how they may or may not fit me.

According to the Strengths Finder survey my five greatest strengths are Positivity, Achiever, Connectedness, Strategic and Relator. Based on my personal strengths as Positivity, I have an enthusiasm that is contagious (Gallup, 2000, 2006-2012). This saying that I am a very upbeat person who can get others excited about what they are going to do (Gallup, 2000, 2006-2012). I have often been told, where did you get all of that energy? People really enjoy my presence. I think very highly of myself and of others when I gingerly juggle my job or studies. Life is good when you begin loving whatever it is that you do and giving 100% when you are engaged in something. I love spending quality time with my family members, coworkers, teammates,

The results for my test showed that my top 5 strengths are achiever, discipline, positivity, relator and empathy. I wasn’t surprised by my results because they all show up on a daily basis. In college, I like to get things done in a timely manner. I love to stay busy and I can do that because I am great at organizing my life, and writing everything in my planner. Everyday, I try to stay positive and I find that I am always the one to cheer my friends up. I can see situation from their perspective and give them my best advice to help them. Every week, I have set time in my schedule where I call my parents or video chat with my sister or my friends back home. Currently, my major is undecided but I know my five strengths will play a role in my

In the interview, i asked one of my friend a few questions about myself. the first one was what are my strengths. the answer to that was curiosity and humility. From this I was expecting one strength to be curiosity which tells me that I would enjoy travelling in the future and learning about new things. Although humility, i was not expecting that strength only because i never noticed that in me and i never thought that strength was one of the things people noticed most about me. this strength added another career option for me that involves me understanding others issues and putting myself in their shoes. One career suited for this would be a psychologist. my second question was what are my qualities, in which the reply was honest, understanding,

One of my strengths that I would like to see improvement is to become more open minded towards other cultures, opinion, and beliefs. The reality is that the process of being open minded takes time and sometimes is a difficult task to accomplish. However, I can say that I have tried to be opened minded when presented with certain situations. Presently, there is a gap from where I am to where I would like to be and that is to let it be and move on. "Students could have opportunities to explore their beliefs about various aspects of the educational system, teaching, learning, equity, and other topics of significance in the field of study"(Richardson p.266) No matter how much I try, at times my belief, culture, education, or natural plays a toll

The strengths listed from my self-assessment were responsibility, analytical, achiever, intellection, and input. I feel that these strengths are fairly accurate when we are talking about my leadership abilities. I am a very responsible leader and in this sense of responsibility has been a gateway to the other strengths that I posses. The other listed strengths I agree strongly with is achiever and input. I do see myself as someone who is always striving to achieve more. Because I am an "achiever" this goes along with the input side of strengths. A

Trying to decide what your personal strengths are, is hard. For myself, I have grown in my strengths, and I’ve experienced my weaknesses. My personal strengths consist of: positivity, encouragement, laughter, and love. I pick these four because I feel that I am truly strongest in these aspects of my life. Being positive is a big factor in everything I do. I always want to be happy and joyful; not only to display Christ in me, but to make others feel the way I do. I want others to appreciate life and to feel any kind of uplift in his or her spirt. Positivity plays into encouragement. I make it my goal to make others feel better about themselves. My goal coming into college was to learn and know every person(s) name that I got the chance to meet. Just taking a few minutes out of your day to truly get to know someone, is such a blessing. It not only blesses me in new friendships, but it also blesses others because they feel that someone genuinely cares about them. Laughter is another characteristic I strive to pour out onto others. I laugh at practically everything. I love to laugh, and I love to make people laugh. I’ve learned the importance of laughter, and I just want to make one person smile every day. Love is my last of the four attributes. Love is so important to me. I love creation (Trees, birds, squirrels), God, and I love people. I just want the love that God has given me, to pour out onto others. I want others to know that I love them. These are my personal strengths

Over my education, I have gone through easy and rough patches with some years being fun, engaging, and I learned a lot. There were years that seemed like I stood in place. By being enrolled in more challenging classes like College Credit Plus (CCP), AP, and IB class I have discovered that as a learner I have varied strengths and weaknesses. My strengths help me create college readiness skills which Conley claims “College and career readiness is enhanced when students demonstrate these behavior” (Conley 1030). While my strengths help me to create these skills my weakness put more obstacles in my way preventing me from developing and perfecting college readiness skills.

Everyone is different in many ways. There are differences in gender, nationality, religious activities and there are differences in strengths and weaknesses. Those strengths and weaknesses are looked at in Corporate America and they assist the higher management in making decisions for the roles we play on each team. I will be discussing my strengths ' and weaknesses.

Many people throughout generations in America have been raised to focus on their weaknesses instead of their strengths; I was one of those people. After taking general psychology, I was always interested in further learning about myself through highly developed tests, like StrengthsQuest, and was very excited when I got the opportunity to take one. My strengths from the test are Analytical, Futuristic, Relator, Individualization, and Responsibility.
