As I was reading John Maxwell’s book, “Good Leaders Ask Great Questions”,<\/i> it included one question a leader must ask himself: “Am I staying in my strength zone?<\/i>“<\/p>\n

I was intrigued by it. Then came a recommendation to find out what my top 5 strengths are and so this book :<\/p>\n

\"IMG_1336\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Since it was a bit pricey than my usual books, I set it aside after browsing at the bookstore. “It can wait for next month’s ‘wisdom budget<\/i>‘”, I told myself. Lo and behold, my dear roommate \u00a0got me the book the same day and I was ecstatic! Thank you, roomie! Mwah!<\/p>\n

Inside the book is a sealed pocket containing a unique access code for taking the StrengthsFinder 2.0 \u00a0 After the 30-min long test, below were my results… TADA!!!\"IMG_1523\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Copied and pasted a quick review of my results:<\/p>\n

The Clifton StrengthsFinder<\/b><\/p>\n

As you may know, the Clifton StrengthsFinder measures the presence of talent in 34 categories called “themes.” These themes were determined by Gallup as those that most consistently predict outstanding performance. The greater the presence of a theme of talent within a person, the more likely that person is to spontaneously exhibit those talents in day-to-day behaviors. Focusing on naturally powerful talents helps people use them as the foundation of strengths and enjoy personal, academic, and career success through consistent, near-perfect performance.<\/p>\n

Below are my top five themes of talent, ranked in the order revealed by my responses to the Clifton StrengthsFinder.<\/p>\n

How well do you think these themes describe me?<\/b><\/p>\n

Arranger<\/u><\/b>
\nPeople who are especially talented in the Arranger theme can organize, but they also have a flexibility that complements this ability. They like to figure out how all of the pieces and resources can be arranged for maximum productivity.<\/p>\n

 
\nBelief<\/u><\/b>
\nPeople 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.<\/p>\n

 
\nResponsibility<\/u><\/b>
\nPeople 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.<\/p>\n

 
\nSelf-Assurance<\/b><\/u>
\nPeople who are especially talented in the Self-Assurance theme feel confident in their ability to manage their own lives. They possess an inner compass that gives them confidence that their decisions are right.<\/p>\n

 
\nIncluder<\/u><\/b>
\nPeople who are especially talented in the Includer theme are accepting of others. They show awareness of those who feel left out, and make an effort to include them.<\/p>\n

I have yet to digest the action plans to build up on these. Committing to see a better version of myself, I need to take much thought into it. Stay tuned to see its effects. =)<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t
