My Top 5 Strengths:

 

1. Ideation:

Chances are good that you come to the assistance of individuals or groups that must invent new ways of doing everyday chores and tackling never-before-tried projects. Your imaginative mind creates all sorts of novel ideas. By nature, you immediately know without resorting to reason what people think about you. Because of your strengths, you have lots of innovative ways of doing things. Your clever inventions probably benefit your coworkers, teammates, classmates, family, and friends. Instinctively, you enjoy spending time with possibility thinkers. This is often the case when they present intriguing ideas that no one else has considered. You enjoy exploring the fascinating frontiers of medicine, politics, fashion, renewable energy sources, humanitarian aid, or the arts. 

 

 

2. Adaptability:

Because of your strengths, you surround yourself with lovely things. These have the power to soothe, calm, energize, and inspire you. The arts or nature itself enhances your sense of well-being. You probably pay attention to your environment because you choose to live each moment to its fullest. Driven by your talents, you are quite comfortable letting the day’s events and people’s demands determine what really deserves your attention. It’s very likely that you are a free spirit who is seldom thrown off balance by unexpected events and comments. Instead, you react to things as they occur. You are quite comfortable letting your future unfold at its own pace. Instinctively, you realize possibility thinkers fuel your imagination. They traditionally convince you that you can breathe life into their dreams for the coming months, years, or decades. By nature, you labor tirelessly on whatever needs to be accomplished today. You likely are willing to change your plans when the people around you change theirs. You ordinarily remain quite calm when others reverse their decisions, modify their schedules, or cancel their appointments. 

 

 

3. Acheiver: 

Chances are good that you labor tirelessly when you know your performance and results are being compared to those of other people. You probably find it hard to recall a time when you failed for lack of effort. You are naturally motivated to be the very best — not merely one of the top finishers. By nature, you are motivated when your results are compared to those of others. To a large degree, this explains why you are so determined to continue working until your outcomes are recognized as the very best. Instinctively, you labor to create a future that bears little resemblance to your past. You choose to be a forward-looking person rather than someone who holds on to what was and never will be again. It’s very likely that you normally strive to do things right. Taking shortcuts strikes you as unprincipled, thoughtless, and careless. You likely refuse to produce sloppy work or engage in unethical practices. Driven by your talents, you conduct yourself in a proper, ethical, legal, and upright manner to avoid feeling you have done something wrong. You truly regret making a mistake, violating a rule, breaking a trust, or producing poor results. You set high standards for yourself in various areas of your life. 

 

 

4. Futuristic: 

Driven by your talents, you are energized by your plans for the coming months, years, or decades. Bringing your ideas to life is an exciting proposition for you. You sense you have the power to transform whatever you think is possible into tangible outcomes. Because of your strengths, you are innovative, inventive, original, and resourceful. Your mind allows you to venture beyond the commonplace, the familiar, or the obvious. You entertain ideas about the best ways to reach a goal, increase productivity, or solve a problem. First, you think of alternatives. Then you choose the best option. It’s very likely that you prefer to spend time with visionaries. Why? You probably enjoy listening to them describe innovative products, labor-saving devices, medical possibilities, or new ways of governing. Thinking about only the present usually bores you. Instinctively, you occasionally spend a lot of time considering what the coming months, years, or decades have to offer you. When you ponder the future, you might consider what kind of world you will live in as you move through each stage of your life. By nature, you generate ideas quickly. You draw clever linkages between facts, events, people, problems, or solutions. You present others with numerous options at a pace some find dizzying. Your innovative thinking tends to foster ongoing dialogue between and among the group’s participants. 

 

 

5. Strategic:

It’s very likely that you generate innovative ideas. You offer unique perspectives on events, people, and proposals. You probably inspire people to start projects and launch initiatives. You tend to identify a goal, devise numerous ways of reaching it, then choose the best alternative. This explains why you see opportunities, trends, and solutions before your teammates, classmates, or peers see them. Chances are good that you customarily pinpoint the core problems and identify the best solutions. You artfully and skillfully eliminate distractions. This helps people gain a clear understanding of what is happening and why it is happening. You frequently identify ways to transform an obstacle into an opportunity. By nature, you long to know more so you remain on the cutting edge of your field or areas of interest. Your inventive mind usually generates more possibilities than you can handle or fund. Nonetheless, you are committed to acquiring knowledge and/or skills. Instinctively, you comprehend what has gone wrong. Eagerly, you uncover facts. Sorting through lots of information rarely intimidates you. You welcome the abundance of information. Like a detective, you sort through it and identify key pieces of evidence. Following these leads, you bring the big picture into view. Next, you generate schemes for solving the problem. Finally, you choose the best option after considering prevailing circumstances, available resources, and desired outcomes. Driven by your talents, you work diligently to invent alternative courses of action. You notice new as well as unusual configurations in facts, evidence, or data. Others, however, can see only separate, unrelated bits of information. You are fascinated by problems that puzzle, confound, or frustrate most people.
