Top Three Strengths

A third strength I have is an inner drive to be able to stick to a task and get it done. Whether it is at work or at school, if I am assigned a task I make it a point to work at it until the task is done. If a deadline is presented in front of me I have something inside of me that forces me to keep working on it until it is completed and not just completed but done first the right way. Which leads to another strength that I have is a strong work ethic. In my profession in recruiting what I do reflects me and the company that I work for. When I go to recruiting events or career fairs I represent the company that I am there for. Everything about me such as my demeanor, my dress, my attitude, etc. reflects the professionalism of the company as well as any reports or products that are produced and put out by me. I take pride in my work and

Skepticism at its finest has been overturned. As I was taking the Clifton StrengthsFinder survey, I found myself questioning how accurate the results would be; however, as I read the descriptions of each strength, I found myself looking right back at me. According to the StrengthsFinder survey, my five greatest strengths are achiever, strategic, responsibility, learner and relator.

My strengths include being able to include people in a group and ask for their opinion. This was developed by realizing that not being listened to is something that frustrates me while working in a team, and I don’t want people to ever feel that way if I can help it. Another forte I have is being humble enough to follow someone else’s plan or method of doing something if I feel it would work better than my own way. I figure if it is better for the final outcome it would be ignorant of me not to follow the best plan. It is cardinal for leaders to be able to take their ego out of their decision making process, and I think I have attained that ability.

One area of my life that has gone very well as a result of these strengths, would be being a learner and a focused person. I am from Burundi, a small country in Africa. My first language is french, coming to the US at the age of sixteen and having to learn english was hard but I overcome it. This showed me that I can learn very fast and efficiently, which is a benefit to me.

My third personal strength is probably that I’m a good friend. For example, I love to listen to them when they are upset and always remember to keep in mind that they are sad. I’m always there when they need me, so if they feel like they have no one to go to I’m always there for them. I have a very big sense of humor so I can always make any of my friends laugh. The best thing is that I actually love them and care about them even if they don't care about me in return.

I was interested by the results discovered at the completion of the StrengthsFinder Survey. While I found the strengths listed surprising at first, after reading the descriptions I could see how they fit my personality and life experiences. I believe it will be a challenge learning how to utilize each individual strength into my life and career, but it will be worthwhile to take the things I’m already good at and use them to my advantage. My top 5 strengths were reported to be harmony, communication, responsibility, discipline, and consistency (Clifton, Anderson, & Schreiner, 2006). I will work to integrate and utilize these strengths into my professional life.

My fourth strength is hope, which I find personally a wonderful thing to have. In my eyes, without hope, how would anyone get anywhere or have dreams of their own? They wouldn’t because in order to have those dreams, you need to have hope for the future. Dreams are hardly ever just given to you, especially big dreams. You have to dedicate yourself and work hard to get to where you want to be, whether it be in your personal life or it be within in your career. Regardless of the subject, hope is what will take you there. As a person, I also seek the good in every situation because I life to view the positive things in life. Negative vibes and attitudes wont do you any good but tear you down. Within the week, as I applied this new understanding of hope to my personal life and within just one week, I have seen a world of a

Moreover, I would say that my strongest strengths are being honest and direct, being strong willed and being extremely responsible. Being in the military, integrity is extremely important to me. I’m a firm believer in “honesty is the best policy,” and I definitely am not fond of wasting time, beating around the bush, when there is a deadline to meet. Strong willed and dutiful describes me as well. Doing my utmost to complete a task in the time frame required or if at all possible, ahead of schedule is of great importance. Lastly, I would say that I am exceptionally responsible. Loyalty falls under this category; I consider loyalty just as seriously as I regard integrity, for the reason that a loyal person is a trustworthy and dependable asset not

My five greatest strengths were futuristic, focus, achiever, restorative, and strategic. I have always utilized my futuristic strength. Being able to picture my future so vividly helps me to accomplish my goals. It helps me focus on what needs to be done in the present time. My focus strength is helpful at my current job. Being a 9-1-1 operator, I have to be able to focus on the calls I am working on. I also plan to utilize my focus strength when it comes to school. This strength can be utilized by planning and prioritizing my life and being able to focus on accomplishing those tasks. The achiever strength is one that I utilize daily, as well. I have always been one to make lists and go through with completing those tasks. The restorative strength

The list of my top strengths identified by the Values in Action Inventory of Strengths includes Appreciation of Beauty & Excellence, which refers to one's ability to notice and appreciate beauty and excellence in every area of life, Creativity as a means of thinking in an innovative and productive way, Curiosity for the sake of exploring and discovering, and Gratitude for the good things that happen (Lopez, Pedrotti, & Snyder, 2015).

According to the Strengths Quest survey, my five individual strength areas fell within the larger areas of external, motivation, internal and interaction which involve connecting, mobilizing, energizing, and reflecting. My five strengths found were strategic, activator, communication, analytical, and competition (Clifton, Anderson, & Schreiner, 2006). Each of my five strengths really paint a true picture of who I am as an individual and as an educator. Being aware of my strengths has allowed me the opportunity to choose the right career path and opened the door for many opportunities to do something great with the students I work with. Having my students succeed in life is my goal as an educator and human being regardless of their upbringings,

My top five strengths include being an achiever, deliberative, consistency, discipline, and relator. One strength that is most relevant to my instructor is deliberative. I am the type of person who takes life and work seriously in order to accomplish my goal. I am extremely responsible about any type of tasks given to me. Being deliberative helps me stay away from serious risks. I tend to plan my future ahead of time and anticipate any conflicts or obstacles I might face. I have certain people who are extremely trustworthy and keep my distance from negative people.

Every person has his or her own strengths, it is what makes us individuals. For myself, the StrengthsQuest assessment helped me realize that my top strengths are adaptability, strategic, restorative, developer, and input. For most, these strengths mean nothing unless one has taken the StrengthsQuest his or her-self, usually when most think about strengths, they think of if they are a people person, if they can use a computer efficiently; stuff one usually puts on an application for a job to make his or her-self sound like an astounding candidate for employment.
