I find it interesting that so many people I've been talking to (maybe because we're all like-minded) are seeking to be more present and to do more good things for ourselves this year. I definitely need to take this test to better focus myself on what I can do to nurture my own strengths.
Also I had one of those squares recently and it still rocks.
I love this, Bryn! I’m definitely going to take that quiz . The idea that a “negative” trait doesn’t cancel out a positive one is so powerful I think. And I’ve been wanting to read some of Nick Offer man’s books! It’s good to hear you like them 😊
Such a great post, Bryn! I love what Seligman and Peterson have said about weaknesses not cancelling out strengths - I'm going to try to remember that.
Of course, I couldn't resist taking the test! I'm both horrified and astonished to have not been at all surprised about what turned up, particularly the traits that are bumping along at the bottom.... (It's interesting - I've always known that those are things I need to work on.)
I enjoyed this post Bryn, enough to take yet another personality profile. I've been taking profiles since I was a young kid, probably because my dad was a professor of organizational development and then a consultant: he lived and died by the instrument. For better or worse, this one slotted right in to what I expected: Honesty, Perspective, Creativity, Curiosity, and Zest were my top 5; at the bottom were Prudence, Self-Regulation, Forgiveness, Teamwork, and Spirituality. Given the way I'm reacting, I'm surprised skepticism didn't show up! I do think these kinds of instruments are a valuable tool for self-reflection ... with diminishing returns on repeat usage maybe.

I took the quiz, was brutally honest with myself and I think the top 5 and the bottom 5 were all correct.
