Personal Strengths In Psychology

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.

I feel as though my strengths greatly impact on the support I can provide in the year 4 class I work in every Thursday morning in a positive way. This encourages the children and the child I work one to one with (who is awaiting a diagnosis of ADHD) in this class to approach their work positively and be positive themselves. I believe I have developed a professional working relationship with the year 4 class teacher, which in affect has enabled us to have good communication skills.

“An applicant's handshake may be crucial at a job interview. But a personality test can tell a company what's behind that handshake” (Korn, 2012). When you think about a job interview you have gone on recently, do you think about what your strengths are? I can assure you that the people interviewing you are looking to see what you strengths are, whether it is in the form of asking you directly or in observing how you interact and answer the questions. I recently did a self-assessment strengths test by using the Strengths

I think that one of my best strengths is that I can get along with people. Going to a large high school has led me to become the mediator in a number of situations and I learned how to make people feel better and prevent future conflicts. This is a very important skill to have in the community due to the fact that most of my life is in the presence of other

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.

Through the last two years as a student at Manchester Community College, I have been able to experience numerous classes and meet wonderful professors. In my first semester of college, I decide to take a general psychology class with Dr. Francine Rosselli-Navarra. She taught me that psychology is a science, which studies our minds and behaviors. After that class I knew that I did not just want to study the physical feature of the brain and the brain process, but how the interactions with and within our brains that produce our cognitive functions. After completing that psychology class I realized that I did not wish to be a biology major anymore, instead I wished to study in the field of Neuroscience, which is a combination of both biology and psychology.

Much of this I learned, as many of us did, from team sports as kids. My sport was soccer before I realized how horrible of an athlete I was. However, playing soccer and leading as a thespian officer are similar in terms of being a team player. In soccer one of the most basic things you learn is how to pass the ball when you are in a tight spot. This is also true when you are being blocked, when you need to move the ball down the field faster, and when someone is closer to the goal than you are. That basic principle used in soccer became a skill I began to apply on our officer team. When I was in a position where I could not get a job done due to constraints I had on me, I would delegate or “pass” some responsibility to my team. The same was true when my strengths did not qualify me to do something as effectively as someone else, or if they were just simply a better fit for the job. As I began to delegate, so did the rest of my team when necessary. Yet we made sure to get the job done. It did not take to long for us to become a well-oiled machine, working in harmony with one another. It was through learning how to “pass the ball” and take responsibility that I learned to be a team player. You must know your strengths as well as your weaknesses. And just as important, you must know the same of your team and how to compliment each

ANSWER- A time I went above and beyond the call of duty to get a job done, would be when I worked as a pro shop assistant at Chisago Lakes Golf Course. I was working the afternoon to close shift on a Saturday night. I had made plans with my friends to hangout after my shift had ended. I was just about to close up the shop when I had a customer call the course. He said that he had a grip, but on his golf club by one of our staff members and he did not put it on to the pleasure that the customer had wanted it. The customer planned on playing the next morning. I asked the customer if he would be able to come in that night so I could get it done how he liked it before his round in the morning. He came in that night and I regripped the club and he was grateful that I did that, when I could have just ignored the phone and closed the shop to hang out with my friends. After he left the shop, long after I should have been done with my shift, I wrote down his number. The next day I was working the same afternoon to close shift. I called him later in the

That meaningful time when I put my own needs behind me and worked toward the greater good was for my school Club Friends of Fisher House. This club works with the local fisher house in Tampa, Florida, as a club, we use our time to volunteer and raise money and collect items for the Fisher House. The Fisher House is a place for the loved ones of veterans to stay for free while the veterans are receiving treatment in the VA hospital. This club is the only such high school club in the united states thus the road that is being pioneered is a new one for many. Our club allows for the use of student time to be used to gain money for the comfort items that keep the Fisher house feeling like home to the many families that stay there annually. Joining this club has allowed for me to see how the house works and meet some of the families that are helped by the Fisher House.

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.

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

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.

To some extent, yes I was surprised to discover some of the findings in my strengths profile. I was extremely surprised to find that curiosity was rated seventh on my list. I have always been aware that I am a slightly curious individual, however I did not realize that I was curious enough for it to be rated seventh on my profile. Also, love of learning was listed as twenty-second on my list, which I can somewhat understand. I do not often read books unless necessary for a particular course, but I do usually enjoy learning. I typically only like learning about particular topics that interest me that includes math and particular business courses (so far accounting has been extremely interesting for me). It was also a bit interesting to see humility

Another one of my current strengths would be that I am very detail oriented and specially in a clinical setting, can be quite useful. Being able to pay attention to minor details can be the best way to assess a patient and find the best method of working with them.

My current strengths include; my honesty and passion towards my work. I have always been positive and confident regarding my aims and targets. Along with these, I am a good decision maker, due to which I can make right and quick decisions. Moreover, I have ability to motivate others and do team work. I am also a responsible person, when I make a target; I work day and night to achieve my goal.
