The strengths philosophy is grounded in the work of positive psychology that tries to understand what is right with you (not necessarily what is wrong). With this in mind, the StrengthsQuest is a personality test that will help you to identify your talents (i.e., strengths). Knowing your strengths and the domains with which you lead can help you to better develop your skills and collaborate with others. The philosophy of strengths comes from the perspective that, rather than overly focus on fixing your weaknesses, you should be developing your strengths. A weakness is defined as anything that gets in the way of your success. The best way to overcome a weakness is to manage it effectively and to use your strengths to overcome it. Moreover, effective leaders know how to identify the strengths in others that help to complement their own. Take the Strengths Quest online at www.strengthsquest.com (Links to an external site.). When using your student email, you may be able to take the test for cheaper, go to https://www.strengthsquest.com/225683/receive-educator-discount-price.aspx (Links to an external site.) for more information. If you have already taken the StrengthsQuest, you do not have to take it again, hopefully you remember your Signature 5 Themes, or just log-in again.
After reading and reviewing your profile, you will write an analysis in which you are to digest the meaning of the report. What does it mean to you? Was there something that surprised you or not? Why? What kind of action plan for development can you take now that you’ve discovered your strengths? Be specific. In your analysis, you will need to interview at least three individuals (ideally: one supervisor, one co-worker, and one subordinate). You’ll interview them about your strengths, do they see a strength that was identified in the report in you? Ask them to give you an example of when they have seen it in you. Be as detailed as possible.
