Do You Know Your Strengths?

Sometime last month, I bought this book: StrengthsFinder 2.0.

I did the online assessment that comes with the book, and came up with a list of my top 5 strengths. It wasn't particularly surprising. Maybe cos I do spend time reflecting on what, why and how I do things. So I think I'm not completely oblivious to what I'm like as a person...

Yesterday, I was able to access a list of all 34 attributes and how they are ordered for me.

Again, I think nothing too surprising. But I became very interested as I read some of the attributes at the bottom of my list. It's strange how the ones at the bottom catch my attention much more than the strengths. Hmm. Maybe it's true that we are too often reminded about our weaknesses and what we need to improve.

good to know you did the StrengthsFinder :-) I did mine 3-4 months back. It was a good exercise.
