My top 5 strengths are adaptability, analytical, consistency, empath, and deliberative. These strengths are represented in various ways in my current life. When I moved into college, many things were different in my life, however, I was quick to adapt and created a daily schedule. Within the first couple weeks, I had a consistent schedule set up for each day of the week. However, even now, I am quick to change that schedule if circumstances require me to do so. I am also deliberative in many of my decisions; I always analyze the positive and negative outcomes of a decision. Empathy comes into my life mostly when I’m with my friends. I can tell when they are upset or not feeling good, and tend to make them feel better.
I believe some of my strengths also show in my academics. I have a constant schedule of when I do my homework, however I am quick to adapt and change it if something of importance comes up. My analytical nature makes me wonder why and how things work, and I spend time exploring them, resulting in me having a better understanding in that subject. My deliberative nature helps me identify the top priority and make that my main goal in a class.
Knowing my strengths has helped me concrete my thoughts about my future. These skills will be very useful in my future engineering career. Engineers are often faced with problems where more issues may become introduced as they are trying to fix one. In this instance, adaptability would be very useful. Also, being analytical and deliberate are very important when engineers make decisions.
