In Part A of the personal Strengths Evaluation I had to ask two of my colleagues how they saw my strengths. The first one saw my strengths as Activator, Empathy, Harmony, Learner, and Positivity. The second colleague saw my strengths as Adaptability, Consistency, Empathy, Positivity, and Significance. Looking at their responses I noticed that they both saw me as Positive and Empathetic. It is interesting to see how other people see me.
In part B we were to self evaluate our own strengths. I said I was Analytical, Consistent, Discipline, Empathetic, and Positive. So the only thing we all agreed upon was that my strengths were Empathy and Positivity.
The results, drum roll please, My number one strength is Positivity , which my colleagues and myself saw. The second strength is Belief, which should be of no surprise to me, as I am a minister in my church and my beliefs are very strong. However, we missed that as a group. Third strength is Adaptability, again both myself and colleague 2 saw. Number four is Relator. I did not even conciser this one. However upon reading the summary I can understand why Gallup said this is one of my strengths. I am the person that most people: Students, teachers, administrators, family members, church members etc. come to for advice. Finally, my last strength is a learner. Colleague number one joking put that down saying"I am only putting this down because you are now in college." I guess no surprise here either, as I do enjoy learning.
I really found this assessment interesting too. The two people who analyzed me guessed Decisive and Disciplined. When I took the assessment, I was neither. ;) It's funny to see how we come across to others. My main strengths were learner and achiever. I would say your personality comes across quite nicely when you look at how others see you. I can see how my co-workers would decide that I'm decisive and disciplined. You're obviously happy. This is a reflection of your spirit coming through your work.
