Signature Strengths

Judgement

Photo by ssalonso

To me, judgment means the ability to think critically and logically about certain situations. It means to consider other perspectives and information, and making a decision based on the logic and rational thought that results from said behavior. Judgment entails using critical reasoning as a basis for decisions and actions.

Creativity

I believe creativity to be the capacity to create and successfully utilize new and unique ideas. Creativity is not determined by artistic ability, but rather by the level of ingenuity when related to ideas that are not commonplace or would not be regularly considered. Creativity is the ability to have, and act on, original ideas.

Modesty

I take 'modesty/humility' to mean an aversion to seeking attention, as well as being realistic about your capabilities and accomplishments. Modesty (and humility) can also be represented as the capacity to accept criticism and be accepting of critical opinions of others, as well as the realization that one's own opinions and actions are not without fault.

Accuracy

I believe that these strengths were semi-accurate. Some of the other rankings did not make much sense to me and were different than what I expected, and what I believe to be true. Overall, the top three were fairly accurate when compared to the other top results.

Meaningful Action 1

PROS/CONS LIST: This action involved me making a detailed pros/cons list about my approach to an upcoming assignment, to either study or rely on what I already know. This activity was beneficial in outlining a meticulous process in which the most logical solution can be reached. This did not take very long, and I found it to be surprisingly beneficial.

Meaningful Action 2

BEST/WORST OUTCOME SCENARIO: Similar to the pros/cons list, but different in the procedure, this involved me creating two scenarios, one being the best (realistic) possible outcome, and the other being the worst (realistic) possible outcome. I found this to be a great method to find the path I should take, by relating the worst outcome to the best outcome, and choosing the one with the outcome most preferable relative to the overall situation. I found this to be very helpful and will likely continue this method in the future.

Meaningful Action 3

ASK ABOUT WEAKNESSES: This method involved me asking a close friend to evaluate and share some of my weaknesses with me. He gave me some very good feedback and has overall offered constructive criticism in areas that I now realize more that I have to work on. I found this method to be very interesting and eye-opening. This is something I would consider doing in the future.

Meaningful action 4

COMPLIMENT SOMEONE BETTER: This method involved me finding someone better than me in an area and giving them sincere compliments. I found this to be somewhat challenging, mainly because I have issues expressing complements, or any sincere feelings, in a public manner. I did find this to be helpful and made me more understanding of this trait. It is something that I would consider doing again, if only for the reaction of the other person.

PERSONALIZED CARD: This action involved me creating a personalized card for someone, which, in this case, I chose my brother. I particularly enjoyed this method because of his reaction to the card, and also because it allowed me to be creative on something that has meaning. Overall, I found this to be one of the most beneficial actions I partook in.

Reactions

My family reactions were generally very positive towards the actions. I did not receive any feedback on behavior, but I did receive positive feedback on the actions after doing them. This also applies to my friends, of which reacted with positivity to my actions.

Future Utilization

In the future, I believe that these strengths can be utilized to strengthen myself as an individual and to better my understanding of those around me. I think that with more intentional strengthening I could grow as a person to be more positive and be closer to achieving my true potential.

Awareness of these concepts can enhance my life by making me a person with stronger core strengths which directly relates to the overall value and agreeableness of the person. This is beneficial in strengthening relationships, positive traits, and personal growth. This has the potential to result in a fulfilling life complete with strong relationships and a strong positive sense of self.
