You have 24 character strengths. We all do. And they’re universal, across all cultures and nations.
That’s according to researchers at the VIA Institute; a nonprofit that bridges the gap between science and the practice of character strengths.
You, me and everyone on the planet possess signature strengths (your top 5) that are at the core of your inner being. They’re the strengths that come naturally you, the ones you don’t really have to think about when using them day-to-day.
Research shows that using a signature strength in a new way can increase your happiness and even decrease depression.
Studies also show that character strengths can be used to help build better relationships, boost your confidence, reduce stress and achieve life goals.
You can also draw on them during tough times to help you move through the challenge with more ease.
If you want to take a test to rank your character strengths, go online to: viacharacter.org and click on “Take the Free Survey” Once you take the survey (it takes about 10 minutes), you’ll get a report, ranking all 24 of your strengths.
Note: The strengths at the bottom of the list are not deficits or weaknesses, they are just lesser strengths that you don’t use as often as your top, signature strengths. The good news is that you have all of these strengths inside of you — even the lesser ones(!) – so if you want, you can develop them.
In case you’re interested, my top 5 strengths are:
1️⃣ Honesty
2️⃣ Curiousity
3️⃣ Appreciation of Beauty and Excellence
4️⃣ Zest
5️⃣ Spirituality
Lmk if you take the survey! Did you discover more about yourself after taking it?
