I've been thinking about a quiz I took over a year ago. Martin Seligman's Signiture Strengths Survey identifies your top strengths. The idea is that you should focus on what you are good at....instead of finding the things you are worst at and pushing yourself to get better. Pick those things you are best at and do them more..make the most of what you do well.
My strengths are (the idea of using these more is very attractive to me!)
Curiosity and Interest in the World
Love of Learning
Zest, Enthusiasm, Energy
Leadership
Perspective (Wisdom)
I'd like to ask other Resource Center staff to take the quiz and see how knowing each other's signiture strengths helps us do our best work and form a strong team.
