Last year I got the message (advice) from one of the managers (thx. Uwe ) to focus on my strengths. It took me some time (and a special situation) to ask myself the question : What are my strengths ?
Google helped me ( and I help google) and I got to this page : Strengths Finder 2.0
I was not sure if the test and result is effective, but I remembered about Strengths 2.0 in this TED talk: Scott Dinsmore. ( by the way… Watch TED instead of TV!) and I have read this article.
So I have decided to take the test. ( was also curious about my weaknesses so I took the big test with all the strengths ). I have payed the money ( now after the results I see it more as an investment in myself ) and I got the list. Actually I have used the app from my mobile phone to do all the stuff .
My top 5 strengths:
1. Individualization
2. Analytical
3. Connectedness
4. Learning
5. Responsibility
Note: These words have a definition in the book that you get if you do the test.
For some of them I was aware, not so much about others.
