My Strengths And Weaknesses

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.

When I took my strengths test I was not necessarily shocked with what I received, more with what I did not receive. I thought for sure that I would have received positivity because people are always telling me how positive I am. Through learning about my strengths I have come to realize that all five of my strengths together may be the cause of my positive attitude, and all five of my strengths working together constantly are what people see. My strengths are restorative, communication, input, strategic, and achiever.

Self-assessments are usually hard for people to do because most of us don’t know much about ourselves. It is difficult for me to see my strengths because I typically only see my weaknesses.

According to Rath (2007), we cannot be anything we want to be, however, we can be a lot more of who we already are.

Clifton created a database containing 34 of the most common talents based on a 40-year study of human strengths. The Clifton StrengthsFinder was created and then evolved into Strengths Finder 2.0. This book focuses on talents because talents are more likely to be consistent through the lifetime; nevertheless, knowledge, skills, and practice also play important roles in personal strengths (Rath, 2007). These talents are then evolved into strengths. After taking the short Strengths Finder 2.0 test my recognized strengths included, in order of highest to lowest, achiever, learner, responsibility, harmony and consistency. This paper will focus on my top three strengths, achiever, learner and responsibility and how these play into my personal life, nursing practice and how finding my strengths can lead to personal growth.

After attending many interviews over this year, I have been asked “What are my strengths” numerous times. After careful consideration, the two characteristics that I feel are my greatest strengths are my passion for teaching, and the fact that I am coachable. According to Benekos (2016), Passion for teaching includes the ability to teach students how to learn and to instill enthusiasm and interest in learning. Since I was a little kid, I have always had a love of numbers. From playing with numbers, to calculating numbers, to talking about numbers, I have always been very fond of numbers. As an adult and mathematics teacher now, I try to instill my students with that same love and enthusiasm that I have for numbers. Everyday that I am in the

Throughout this interview that was conducted with my brother I learned a lot of things about myself that I never knew before, which will certainly help me in the future when I will be applying for work or volunteer positions. According to my brother I have many strengths, skills, qualities, talents and things that I need to work on. During the interview with my brother he said that my strengths were hard working, considerate, easy-going, generous, responsible, patient, passionate, loyal, dependable and determined.

The strengths and weaknesses of a committed actor can be paradoxical. For this area I chose to consult with an acting colleague of 17 years. I thought it was necessary to have an objective perspective to honestly describe what has been observed from someone that knows me, personally. The following paragraph from a close friend and veteran actor explains this quandary in her description of me.

My current strengths include; my honesty and passion towards my work. I have always been positive and confident regarding my aims and targets.

One of my strengths is that I am hardworking with everything I do. I want to do well when I attempt something, so I make sure I give my all to everything that I attempt to accomplish. This usually pays off and when it does not, I know I tried my best and that is all the matters to me. I am also very dependable and trustworthy. My manager made a revelation yesterday that I had never called into work within the five years that I have worked there. I have a strong morale code and feel guilty when I miss an obligation; therefore, I try to do it as little as possible.

As a communicator, I acknowledge that I have strengths and weaknesses. I was raised in a small country town and had an ethnocentric view on other cultures. After learning from lectures, I have become aware of this barrier and realised I needed to learn to understand other cultures. Now, I reflect on my behaviours and interactions. I acknowledge biases and plan to improve on difficult situations. I request feedback from my friends, family on my communication. This is now a strength, and has influenced my above average Meta-Cognition score of 5.5.

I feel that I have a fair amount of strengths, however there are a lot of aspects of myself that I would like to work on. One of my biggest strengths would have to be my personality, When discussing personality I try and stay away from work/education related aspects such as work ethic or organization. When I talk about my personality, I’m talking about qualities that make me, me. I am extremely extroverted, there isn’t anyone I won’t approach and start a conversation with. I also see myself as someone who is honest, respectful, caring and empathetic. Besides my personality, some of my strengths include determination and drive, along with being passionate about any task put in front of me, along with the amount of connections and networking I’ve accomplished over the years.

My greatest strength in life is my high moral values and standards. I believe I can make the right decisions that will best benefit my life and the lives around me. Being able to make the right decisions in life will really help me be successful in the work world. I believe having the values also gives me a great outlook on life itself.
