Strengths

We all have strengths. Gallup has developed a method by which an individual’s strengths are able to be determined relatively accurately, it’s called StrengthFinder 2.0 and it was written and developed by Tom Rath. According to the  assessment my strengths are Input, Futuristic, Learner, Strategic, and Achiever. Below is how Gallup defines these strengths:

Input: People who are especially talented in the Input theme have a craving to know more. Often they like to collect and archive all kinds of information.

Futuristic: People who are especially talented in the Futuristic theme are inspired by the future and what could be. They inspire others with their visions of the future.

Learner: People who are especially talented in the Learner theme have a great desire to learn and want to continuously improve. In particular, the process of learning, rather than the outcome, excites them.

Strategic: People who are especially talented in the Strategic theme create alternative ways to proceed. Faced with any given scenario, they can quickly spot the relevant patterns and issues.

Achiever: People who are especially talented in the Achiever theme have a great deal of stamina and work hard. They take great satisfaction from being busy and productive.

*These definitions of the 5 strengths were derived from the Strengths Finder Guide.  The names are owned and trademarked by The Gallup Organization.
