StrengthsQuest is a survey that presents your dominant themes which can then provide you with insight on your abilities and natural talents. These strengths can then aid in personal and career success. My top five StrengthsQuest themes are Futuristic, Adaptability, Connectedness, Harmony, and Intellection.
Of the five strengths I’ve identified, I would like for others to see Intellection the most. Because of this strength, I find value in intellectual conversations and often need some kind of mental stimulation. I think this would help people understand my work style because it is not uncommon for me to ask persistent questions until the concept makes sense to me. It would also help peers understand when I take a step back to analyze my decisions to make sure I am taking the route that logically fits. In other close relationships, I would like for others to see my intellection as what it is and not as apathy. When others ask for advice or confide in me, it is difficult to connect with them emotionally as I tend to rationally aid them with their conflicts. I like to help people understand different reasonings and points of views instead of thinking and making decisions with their heart, which I believe is a healthy balance.
