Personal Strengths​

Everyone has strengths. By reminding yourself of your strengths, you can make better use of your skills. So let’s think more about your strengths.

What are you especially good at? It doesn’t have to be anything big. For example, some people are really good at cooking. Other people are really good at listening. Others are really good at reading. What are you good at?

Activity: Identifying Personal Strengths

In this activity, write a list of your strengths. Spend 5 minutes trying to list as many strengths as you can.  
    ​For each of the strengths you listed above, try to think of a few activities that you can engage in to take advantage of these strengths. For example, if you are good at math, you could join a math club, take a software programming class, or tutor kids (or adults) in math concepts that you are already good at. 
    Note. Submitting your responses enables us to better understand people's personal strengths. If you want to keep your responses, you'll have to save to PDF or print this page. Thanks!
