Strengthsfinder Assessment

“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

The need for another personality test seems small. Personality tests have been in use in American since 1943 when the Meyers Briggs was first published (OPP, 2015). The field is now very diverse. With the Meyers Briggs and Smalley’s Animal Types on one end to What Star Wars Character Are You? On the other, these tests run the gambit from serious to funny, and then on down to time wasters. To really prove your usefulness, a new test must fill a niche in the market. Something only your test can provide. However the 34 vaguely worded themes give no great bit of detail to really

Identifying and understanding your own personal strengths is key to being a successful leader. Knowing your strengths means you can focus your efforts to maximize results, in yourself and in others. Strengths Finder 2.0 is designed to uncover your strengths and utilize these strengths to your advantage (Rath, 2007). 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.

Strength is that part of your intellect or nervous system that is more effective and productive than other parts. Throughout your experience of life, your actions or reactions drive different thoughts, behavior and emotion in your brain. The requests that are processed more efficiently and rapidly are known as your strengths. Nowadays, strengths-based approaches to work and life are gaining a lot of popularity and often they are used to improve leadership and create more productive and efficient work teams.

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

Deliberative: What I think being deliberative is that I make choices very seriously and I like to look at all the angles, facts, and possibilities of each decision that could be made. I think it is important to think of all these details because every decision you make affects how your life is and will be, and so I want make sure my future stays as what I want it to be. I was using this strength in a situation where one of my students with special needs starting cursing, spitting, and throwing objects at me and the other staff in the room. We took him out of the room and into the hallway. I was thinking we could either go right to the office and call his mom while he is still angry. The other option would be to take him on a walk to calm him down and take him to the motor room to release the energy by being active. I chose the walk and motor room, he then calmed down and I told his mom what happened when she came and picked him up. I had to think what was best for him, the other students and staff. The student calmed down and did not do anything else wrong so he stayed until the end of the day like

When I took my Strength's Quest test it said I responsible. Do I believe this? Yes. Because it applies to me in many ways. I am responsible with school work as well with tasks at work. I find myself getting things done and doing them in a timely manner which shows good characteristics of being responsible. I am also a nurture from what the test said. This means I care a lot about how people feel and things. I agree with this because I do really care about how people feel and things that is what made me choose a health care profession. When working in a medical office I feel that these 2 skills will be good to have. Because of the fact people will know that I am caring witch is a good trait to have when taking care of others. Also, being a responsible

Everyone has a different personality that he/she only recognizes the surface without having a deep understanding. This is because they do not know their personality is their strength. The earlier we discover our talent, the more time we will have to invest and develop our strengths. Strengths enable us to build our confidence, direction and hope in order to pursue the right path. If we know our strength, we will have the passion and interest to work on it and move forward. The biggest problem is most of the people unaware of, or unable to describe their own strengths. Therefore, we need a tool that can help us to figure out and pursue the right path.

Many people believe that when a child is first born, they receive a personalized set of strengths and weaknesses. It is commonly known that a child usually inherits most of his or her abilities from their biological parents, but it is also known that every person is different. Maybe this child is born, and as this child grows up, they start to realize just how much they love art. Stick figures are in the past by age six, and bigger and better drawings are in the works. This child is probably prone to keep up with art. They are good at it, so why mess with a good thing? Well, what if the mother does not really think that art is a good career goal? Maybe she is concerned that her son or daughter might not be successful enough in art to make it in the "real world". Instead, she wants her child to focus more on math. Well,

One of the strengths I will enhance is 1.1 Social Interest (BSEP, 2007; OMEd, 2014, p29).Children will learn to observe and imitating peers and also engaging in short group activities (BSEP, 2007; OMEd, 2014, p29). By having circle time children are together sitting and observing each other. If most of the children are singing and having fun the other children watching will follow.

As I evaluated my strengths and limitations I must say, in my opinion, I exemplified an excellent level of professionalism. I felt competent while using applicable theoretical approaches, social work skills and values that guided my practice. I identify biopsychosocial issues which prohibited my client’s well-being. Moreover, I was able to address the client’s needs using an eclectic knowledge base approach while using cultural sensitivity. I did not encounter any limitations that prohibited me from effective assisting the client.

With the long-term goal of becoming a transformational leader, it is often useful to consider one's strengths and weak nesses across four dimensions. These include personal and professional accountability, career planning, personal journey disciplines and reflect practice reference behaviors and tenets. The intent of this analysis is to evaluate my strengths and weaknesses in each of these four areas. In addition, a discussion will be completed on how current leadership skill sets will be used for advocating change in my workplace. The conclusion of the paper will concentrate on one personal goal for leadership growth, including an implementation plan leading to its fulfillment.

Fortunately, five years later, Proctor et al. (2009) experimented the “Strengths Gym” which is an education program in two secondary schools in the UK to prove that character strengths-based exercises can be beneficial in improving life satisfaction in adolescents. Under this program, the participants were instructed to recognise character strengths in themselves and others including the classmates and teachers. There were not only exercises for them to do to strengthen their existing character strengths but also exercises to build a new character strength. For examples, the students were assigned to write a story about people in their real life who truly showed love of beauty ( which can be nature, arts or music) or write or draw the beauty

Using the Strength Finders 2.0 Assessment, I was able to identify my personal strengths, which would identify my personal leadership skills. My strength assessment results where Harmony, Consistency, Empathy, Achiever, and Belief. This paper will identify each strength, how they relate to my leadership style and approach to leadership.
