Last weekend I read the book "Now, Discover Your Strengths" and took the online test to discover my Strengths. The results were very accurate and I'm quite excited by them! It's great to see verification of what I'd maybe guessed to be true. And, good news, I think my strengths definitely align with the field that I'm in (software engineer/internet). What better place for forward thinking, positive attitude, ideas and adaptability! One of the basic ideas of the book is that we should focus on our strengths and not our weaknesses.
MY STRENGTHS
Futuristic: People strong in the Futuristic theme are inspired by the future and what could be. They inspire others with their visions of the future.
Positivity: People strong in the Positivity theme have an enthusiasm that is contagious. They are upbeat and can get others excited about what they are going to do.
Adaptability: People strong in the Adaptability theme prefer to "go with the flow." They tend to be "now" people who take things as they come and discover the future one day at a time.
Ideation: People strong in the Ideation theme are fascinated by ideas. They are able to find connections between seemingly disparate phenomena.
Maximizer: People strong in the Maximizer theme focus on strengths as a way to stimulate personal and group excellence. They seek to transform something strong into something superb.
If you're interested, I recommend buying the book and taking the test for yourself!
