Strengths
My top five strengths given by StrengthQuest are (in order): Competitiveness, Restorative, Adaptability, Positivity, and Woo. These strengths no doubt play a large role within my life, and I am confident that they will continue becoming a large factor in helping my succeed in life.
To start, I have the trait of competitiveness. Competitiveness allows me to strive to become better by focusing on the good traits in others that I see and then applying them to myself. I see where others are better than me at, and it motivates me to improve myself from my current standing.
My secondary strength is Restorative, which allows me to figure out and solve problems quickly and efficiently. By drawing on this strength, I have been able to motivate myself to solve problems when they arise, instead of waiting and allowing the problems to multiply. This has allowed me to keep my life in check, as I make sure that there is not an extreme amount of problems in my life at one time.
` My tertiary strength is Adaptability, which has helped me numerous times throughout my life, and I am sure will help me in the future. Because I have moved around a lot in my life, this trait is very important to me, as it has allowed me to find common ground with anyone, anywhere.
My next strength is Positivity, which gives me a optimistic outlook on life. Even when I am down, I can use this strength to see the good in myself, others, and life. This strength allows me to keep looking forward and not get bogged down in sorrow and depression.
My last strength is Woo, which surprised me, but nonetheless I can relate to. I do enjoy the challenge of meeting new people, and that has allowed me to feel confident in myself. This has allowed me to build up connections, and can help me greatly in the future when those connections can come in handy.
