VIA STRENGTHS

My top five strengths on the VIA test were curiosity, fairness, gratitude, humor and kindness.

CURIOSITY:

Taking an interest in ongoing experience for its own sake; finding subjects and topics fascinating; exploring and discovering.

 FAIRNESS:

Treating all people the same according to notions of fairness and justice; not letting feelings bias decisions about others; giving everyone a fair chance.

GRATITUDE:

Being aware of and thankful for the good things that happen; taking time to express thanks.

HUMOR:

Liking to laugh and tease; bringing smiles to other people; seeing the light side; making (not necessarily telling) jokes.

KINDNESS:

Doing favors and good deeds for others; helping them; taking care of them.

I think the order of these is fairly accurate, although I did not think that curiosity would be as high as it is. I feel like I use kindness quite a bit in my daily life to try to make other’s happier. I try to remember as much as I can about people so they know that I am genuinely listening to what they have to say, and I feel like that can go a long way. I kind of wish Love had been higher on my list, even though it was number eight. All the things I do, I do out of love so I thought it would be higher. My favorite strength is probably humor or kindness, I don’t really like to pick favorites, but those two made me the happiest to read. In fact, my photo below is meant to be a depiction of my humor, that’s about as good as it gets.
