Recommended: Personal Strengths and Areas for Development

StrengthsQuest was very confirming to me and the things that I already thought were my strengths. My five strengths are Achiever, Belief, Developer, Learner, and Restorative. I am very much an achiever in all of the things I do. Belief is also a foundational factor to who I am because I am very strong in what I believe and know and I hold true to those things. Developer was one of the questionable things that I got; I see it in my leadership style, but not always in my everyday life. The Learner strength falls in line behind my Achiever quality since I am constantly seeking to achieve certain things through knowledge and growth. Restorative is in the same category as Developer because I do enjoy that in a medical sense, but not always in everyday life. My strengths make me move forward, make me more mature, make it easy for me to make a few deep friends while struggling to have a lot of general friends, make me seem arrogant, and make it difficult for me to push the relax button. Most of my strengths are my drive and passion for living life. I am a very driven person in what I want and the path to get there, and my strengths are key factors in creating that in me. I was raised to never say the word “can’t” and that sticks with me every single day in everything that I do. Every day is a new day and I …show more content…

Some in high school always viewed me as a teacher’s pet, but that was only because I worked harder than others and had a genuine desire to learn about the subject. I view myself as an adult already; consequently, I can come off as seeing myself as “higher” than others in the sense that I have been through a lot, I have a lot of knowledge, or I work harder than a lot of others my age. A lot of people that don’t take the time to get to know me can misperceive my strengths and turn them into something

    My five strengths according to the strength finder include; balance, this helps me be aware of treating all people equally regardless of the situation. I am neither in anyone 's favor or against anyone as this to me is selfishness and individualism.

  • Top Five Character Strengths

    664 Words  | 2 Pages

    The top five character strengths that I predicted are judgment, bravery, love of learning, creativity, and fairness. Now, I will explain why I believe these are my strengths: 1. Bravery. I am a fairly self-conscious person, and that is because I have social anxiety disorder. I am constantly agonizing about peoples’ perception of me. Despite struggling with this mental illness, I still try. Every day, I do things that terrify me, such as raising my hand in class, asking questions, offering my opinion in class discussions, doing presentations, socializing, etc. Even though speaking up terrifies me, I am vocal in the face of injustice, bigotry, and discrimination, even if it results in conflict with others. 2. Judgement. I consider myself to be a critical thinker, particularly when it comes to social issues; I like to observe problematic social norms and other social issues with a goal of understanding why it started, who is perpetuating it, and how it can be solved. I dislike being spoon-fed information without being able to assess its

  • My Academic Strengths And Academic Weaknesses

    1046 Words  | 3 Pages

    When it comes to my schoolwork, I tend to be extremely conscientious, diligent, and ambitious. A few of my academic strengths are my organizational skills and ability to think critically. A weakness that I have is test taking; while taking tests I become nervous, and forget the information. I become upset with myself if I earn a C on a test or in a class. Then I consider what I could have done differently to receive a higher grade and apply it to future assignments. I react this way when it comes to my studies, because my dad used to get upset with us if we received anything below a B in specific subjects. For example, if we got a C in math my dad would say, “You don’t know how to count? I guess I will stop giving you money since you cannot count it.” He would also reward us for being able to count and getting good grades. When I was a little girl, he used to put out money and give us 30 seconds to count it, if we counted
