After taking the VIA Character Strengths Assessment, I determined that my top 5 strengths are:

1.) Forgiveness. I think this is accurate because I always give people several chances to fix their mistakes. I believe that we are all human and all make mistakes, which just leads us to learn valuable lessons.

2.) Humor. I think my humor is a huge part of who I am because people have always told me that I’m funny, and I take a lot of pride in my sense of humor. My dad is the funniest man I know, and he’s one of my role models, so I think it makes sense.

3.) Kindness. Similarly to forgiveness, I try my best to always be nice to everyone no matter what. Several people have told me that I am “too nice for my own good”, but I think that’s better than being mean for any reason.

4.) Judgment. I think I have good judgment because I usually have good judgment & stay out of trouble. Everyone makes mistakes but mine are usually small in comparison to others (mine are usually staying up too late, drinking too much coffee, etc.).

5.) Love of Learning. I believe that this is one of my top strengths because I am interested in learning about many different things. When I find things particularly interesting, I always try to learn as much as I can so I can understand it better.
