After completing the strength finder 2.0 assessment, the five strengths that were identified were Focus, Achiever, Learner, Intellection and Discipline.

Identifying and applying these strengths to your leadership style, will enhance your effectiveness as a transformational leader.

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.

The Strengths Finder is an assessment that measures your real talents. Knowing your best skills and investing time on practicing and developing those talents are the two main ingredients to building and improve your true strengths and

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

5. Your strengths are highlighted so you can concentrate on them and solve problems you are having in other areas, for instance. If your strengths are, good personal skills and tremendous patients, then you might overcome a later problem easily by deciding to make a social call around a person’s house and discussing your concerns.

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

• Positivity: Positivity is for someone who is upbeat and positive, which tends to rub off on others.

(Explore): I have been an individual learning all my life. During my undergraduate years, I seek quiet locations at the library where I can study alone. Coming into pharmacy school I reserved time during my day to study individually. Something, I have incorporated into my schedule is studying alone, but in a group of people. It has been fulfilling because I can ask questions about materials I need clarification on. (69)

In his book What You’re Really Meant to Do: A Roadmap for Reaching Your Unique Potential, author Robert Kaplan observes that most people actually have no clue what their strengths and weaknesses are. Kaplan believes that people should take ownership of assessing themselves. Knowing your own strengths and weaknesses gives you a better understanding of yourself and how you function. Understanding your strengths keeps you ahead in a lot of things. Focusing on your strengths is about seeking opportunities instead of problems.

I think that some strength I can and will bring to soar are, leadership, teamwork, preparation, and organization. One of the ways I can bring leadership to soar is by helping the class stay on track. For example in my class when other kids are getting loud and making it so we cant do the activity I would tell then to be quiet. I could also bring teamwork to soar by help other student work and complete the activity together and I could also help explain things that they do not understand. I am also, always prepared for my class and ready to learn. And finally I can bring organization by helping to plan things and staying on track. One of the main interests I can bring to soar is the love of architecture. Architecture is one of my interests because

The first strength identified is Harmony. Harmony is defined in the freedictionary.com as an agreement in a feeling or opinion (Dictionary, 2009). In Strength Finder 2.0 Harmony is describes as you look for areas of agreement, there is little to be gained by conflict and friction, so you seek to hold them at a minimum (Rath, Strengths Finders 2.0,

In the strength quest book there are special talents that describe me and each of the talents points out to how I use each of the talents in very special way in using it for a purpose. Each of the talent that is given to me and every other person is that it makes us unique in a way how we can express it with emotions and how we can behave. Also back in September when I took the Clifton Strengths Quest survey, it gave me the complete result of what the five special talents really described me for who I was and it gave positive result that I did use the five talents throughout my life time. With each of the five Strengths Quest signature themes it shows how it can guide us throughout our life time in way that gives us the abilities to use it when it comes to deal with problems and solving things.
