Strengths ExplainedConnectedness
(I sense I am linked to all humanity; I bring people together. I’m good at helping them discover reasons to cooperate and support one another) Intellection I am introspective and appreciate intellectual discussions Input I have a need to collect and archive. I accumulate information, ideas, artifacts or even relationships Positivity I have contagious enthusiasm. I thrive when individuals reciprocate. I often motivate people. I patiently observe, ask questions of, and listen to each individual. I am fascinated by the individual’s likes, dislikes, thoughts, background, hopes, fears, or life experiences. I tend to think many people are infinitely interesting and worthy of my affection because I spontaneously tune in to the emotions and needs of individuals. I have the ability to lift certain people’s sagging spirits by what I do or say. In the process, I enhance some individuals’ self-confidence enough that they dare to acquire knowledge, gain new skills, or broaden their experiences. Empathy I am keenly aware of people’s feelings, needs and thoughts. People tell me their innermost thoughts of feelings when I ask the right questions or offer appropriate assistance. I work persistently to lift people’s spirits. I naturally see the good in individuals or situations. This approach allows me to embrace rather than resist life’s uncertainty. |
