My top 5 themes from the StrengthsQuest Inventory are Maximizer, Relator, Adaptability, Includer, and Belief. I definitely believe I am a maximizer. At this point of my life, I do strive for excellence and not just mediocrity. For instance, I do not the minimum just to pass my classes. Also, I don’t perform average at my job. Instead, no matter what it is that I am doing, I give one hundred percent of effort. No matter where life takes me, I will always be a maximizer. I do believe that I am a relator. This is because I am honest with myself and others around me. For instance, if I don’t work hard, I know that it is not logical for me to expect to be successful.

In taking the StrengthsFinder Survey, I discovered pretty much what I already knew about myself and my themes where Futuristic, Ideation, Significance, Individualization, and Achiever.
These simple qualities of mine explain why I received Significance, Achiever, Responsibility, Focus, and Relator as my themes. A characteristic that describes the Significance theme is that it will keep pulling me upward, away from the mediocre and toward the exceptional; I feel like I have to color coordinate my closet in order to be more efficient when getting dressed in the morning.

Also, being a responsible
