So we have been doing these strengthfinder surveys, and it has been an interesting process. Finding out what our own strengths are and how they tie in with everyone else's. For instance, I find that I share 3 of the 5 strengths with Steve T. Empathy, adaptability, and connectedness. Pretty cool, huh? We don't have all of the "results" in, but it's fun and informative. Of course, we have all been raised up to fix our weaknesses, as opposed to capitalizing on our strengths, so even now, we are tempted to look at the very thing that has been identified as a strength, as a weakness. It definitely causes a shift in our thinking. Kind of like the PIN thing that Jacqui has taught about. It is easy enough to build up and encourage others, but we tend to be hyper-critical of ourselves. Anyway, just random thoughts on a Thursday afternoon. By the way, my other two strengths are intellection and consistency. Go figure...PS I LOVE YOU, KEVIN WINN!!!!

The two strengths I share with the most people are Harmony and Achiever. The other interesting insight into these two traits is that Achiever(42% of the group)is second only to connectedness (50% of the group)and Harmony(42% of the group) is tied with Achiever and I am in BOTH! Connectedness, Achiever and Harmony...this will be fun to see what this looks like! :-)
i'm very glad you have found value in the strengthfinder...it's really helping me a lot already. alex took it tonight. i wasn't sure if she was going to be able to make it through the whole test or understand the questions. she did great! and her strengths are absolutely her. it's pretty cool...and interestingly, she shares a strength with rich (individualization) and one with me (strategic). good stuff for the way my brain works :-)
