Belief

SHARED THEME DESCRIPTION

People who are especially talented in the Belief theme have certain core values that are unchanging.
Out of these values emerges a defined purpose for their life.

YOUR PERSONALIZED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS

What makes you stand out?

Because of your strengths, you probably have a reputation for working hours and hours when the
assignment adds special meaning to your work, studies, or life in general. Driven by your talents, you
are devoted to helping others. You keep serving, even to the point of your own detriment. You toil
tirelessly for the benefit of people. You expect nothing in return. Exhausted as you are, you usually
derive satisfaction from working on worthy causes with your friends. By nature, you throw yourself into
your work even when you are personally inconvenienced. You usually place the well-being of others
above your own. It’s very likely that you frequently point out issues, problems, or obstacles before
others see them. You probably have been labeled a pessimist. You commonly reply, “I’m just being
realistic. I choose to fix things before they wear out, break down, or become obsolete.” Chances are
good that you refuse to live a meaningless existence. You seek a vocation that allows you to express
your deepest values every day. Work or school provides you with the opportunity to enrich and
deepen the quality of your life. You really want to do what you love doing. Your job or studies need to
be much more than a means to an end — that is, a paycheck or a diploma.

Responsibility

SHARED THEME DESCRIPTION

People who are especially talented in the Responsibility theme take psychological ownership of what
they say they will do. They are committed to stable values such as honesty and loyalty.

YOUR PERSONALIZED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS

What makes you stand out?

Instinctively, you are quite comfortable being honest about yourself with others. You harbor very few
illusions about who you really are. Furthermore, you can openly acknowledge your mistakes and
shortcomings. This is apt to distinguish you from most people. Chances are good that you possess an
inner drive to attain your high standards of excellence. Satisfying work and a passion for
accountability fuel your zeal to do things very carefully. You want others to view you and your work
favorably. It’s very likely that you leave no stone unturned — that is, you do everything possible — to
meet your obligations. You are thorough and devoted to doing what you have promised. As a result,
others regard you as reliable. Because you have established a reputation for fulfilling your
commitments, people naturally depend on you. By nature, you yearn to be regarded as a highly
reliable and dependable person. To create this impression in people’s minds, you consistently strive
to do things even better, more completely, or more perfectly than you have in the past. Your strong
desire to be deemed worthy of others’ trust motivates you, so you tend to concentrate on things about
yourself that need to be fixed, enhanced, or upgraded. Driven by your talents, you often ponder what
you must do better. You find new ways to deliver on the commitments you have made. Keeping
promises is just one way you enhance the quality of your work.

Relator

SHARED THEME DESCRIPTION

People who are especially talented in the Relator theme enjoy close relationships with others. They
find deep satisfaction in working hard with friends to achieve a goal.

YOUR PERSONALIZED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS

What makes you stand out?

It’s very likely that you offer guidance to friends who seek your assistance. While you enjoy being
helpful, you probably avoid imposing your ideas on someone unless the person makes a special point
of asking you to do so. Driven by your talents, you are quite content with your results as long as you
can honestly say you are producing as much as you can. You maintain an optimistic outlook on life
regardless of the value some people place on your results. Because of your strengths, you are
someone to whom others turn for an honest perspective about a project, person, event, or idea. They
trust you will share your viewpoints. Instinctively, you may be selective about the types of books or
publications you read. They might contain information or tips that you can share with individuals you
are training. Perhaps imparting knowledge, talking about your experiences, or passing along your
skills gives you a certain degree of satisfaction. Chances are good that you notice that people you
know regularly seek you out. Not surprisingly, they ask for your viewpoint and position on a wide
range of issues.

Individualization

SHARED THEME DESCRIPTION

People who are especially talented in the Individualization theme are intrigued with the unique
qualities of each person. They have a gift for figuring out how people who are different can work
together productively.

YOUR PERSONALIZED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS

What makes you stand out?

It’s very likely that you often marvel at your ability to sense the feelings and perspectives of other
people. You feel very good about yourself and life in general when you put aside your opinions,
biases, or preferences. Your satisfaction probably comes from figuring out why someone behaves,
feels, or thinks differently than you do. Because of your strengths, you repeatedly let people benefit
from your sound reasoning and logical assessment of opportunities, problems, regulations, policies, or
proposed solutions. By nature, you occasionally pinpoint the unique qualities, motivations, strengths,
limitations, preferences, or attitudes of certain people. Perhaps you look for one or two good things in
each person. Maybe this information permits you to set up opportunities for particular individuals to
cooperate. You automatically compliment those who freely share their knowledge, skills, or talents
with their teammates, classmates, colleagues, coworkers, friends, or family members. Instinctively,
you routinely contribute to people’s ability to see things through to completion. Not surprisingly, you
convince them not to quit in the middle of work-related projects, academic assignments, diets, or
exercise programs. Even when you work alone, you exhibit steadfast perseverance in spite of
obstacles, problems, or changes. Chances are good that you usually offer people useful suggestions
about what needs to be fixed, upgraded, renovated, or done better.

Learner

SHARED THEME DESCRIPTION

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.

YOUR PERSONALIZED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS

What makes you stand out?

By nature, you yearn to be inspired by your work. You want experience to be your teacher. You need
to feel enthused by your work or studies. You constantly acquire knowledge and skills. Whenever you
study facts, ponder concepts, test theories, or sharpen your skills, you feel most alive. You are
inclined to avoid people and situations that prevent you from expanding your mind. Because of your
strengths, you yearn to acquire additional knowledge and skills. Often you use these to do something
better, more perfectly, or more completely than you have in the past. You seek opportunities to
enhance your capacity for fixing things, correcting mistakes, or overcoming weaknesses. Instinctively,
you possess the physical and mental endurance needed to spend hours studying, reading, or
researching. The more you know, the more questions you have to ask. Your diligence reflects your
need to work harder and longer than most people can. You set lofty goals for yourself and relentlessly
pursue them. Once you have reached your objective, you direct much of your energy toward a second
goal. You are self-motivated. You prefer to push yourself rather than relax. Chances are good that you
have an insatiable — that is, incapable of being satisfied — appetite for information. Armed with newly
acquired facts and skills, you routinely pinpoint areas where you need to make upgrades for the sake
of efficiency. In the process, you probably discover ideas and techniques to do something you already
do quite well even better. It’s very likely that you enjoy sharing your point of view with individuals who
ask, “What do you think?” When you are familiar with the topic, problem, or people involved, you are
quite comfortable expressing yourself. Otherwise, you set out to discover the facts and weigh them
with care before speaking your mind — that is, giving advice or openly stating your ideas.
