Finding My Strengths

I have been so incredibly busy lately with my new job, so I really haven't had the chance to blog. One of the things I completed at work the last week was the "StrenghtsFinder" test. It is part of a book that is written by Tom Rath (which is also a #1 New York Times Bestseller). The book explains what each "strength" is and how one can identify with a different person who doesn't necessarily have the same "strength". The following were identified as my "Top Five Strengths":

  • Achiever - "You feel as if each day starts at zero...you must have something tangible completed by the end of the day."
  • Input - "You collect things...yours is the kind of mind that finds so many things interesting."
  • Learner - "The process, more than the content or the result, is what is most fascinating to you."
  • Belief - "Your work must be meaningful; it must matter to you."
  • Woo - "You enjoy the challenge of meeting new people and getting them to like you."

This really pegged me well!
