Mini Experiment Examples

An example of an assessment that I completed to identify my strengths was the Strengths Based Leadership assessment created by Tom Rath and Barry Conchie (2008). As shown in Table 1, my five strengths, according to the Strengths Based Leadership Report, are restorative, includer, achiever, woo and positivity. Restorative is a strength that was defined on the report as making newcomers feel welcomed (Rath & Conchie, 2008, p. 3). This strength also included attempting to enhance my performance and efficiency (Rath & Conchie, 2008, p. 3). People with this strength also tend to gravity towards others who are honest and give constructive criticism (Rath & Conchie, 2008, p. 3). This strength manifests in my work and life through speaking with newcomers and consistently asking my

There are strengths that I have yet to discover or recognized within myself. But, If I were to select only five strengths that I have recognized within myself, they would be: my strength of intuitiveness, the power of being a good listener, my willpower, the extreme organizational skills, and open-mindedness. All of the strengths depend on each other to thrive

Gratitude is Powerful Many people see gratitude as an appreciation or gratitude. However, people need more gratitude because of how much power it has. Gratitude leads to reducing stress, trauma, and depression, helps someone gain courage, and can help one another with making tough choices. The first reason is that showing gratitude can cheer someone up in need. Ardem is a survivor of the Ukraine and Russian war.

Skepticism at its finest has been overturned. As I was taking the Clifton StrengthsFinder survey, I found myself questioning how accurate the results would be; however, as I read the descriptions of each strength, I found myself looking right back at me. According to the StrengthsFinder survey, my five greatest strengths are achiever, strategic, responsibility, learner and relator.

I was very surprised with the results of this test because of its accuracy. All five of my strengths relate to me, although the order of them may be a little off. These top five are easily the most accurate towards describing me. I believe relator and adaptability are the two that fit me best and they are my number five and number two.

. In the book Thanks in chapter 7  Emmons mentions how watching your language can play an  huge role into having gratitude engagement with your self and other people around you. Emmons examine why language of gratitude is very essential mindset as a human being endless gratitude for whatever circumstance he or she is in, for example emmons study-two females between the age 40 to 100, he found out that most would say about themselves are fortunate and blessed in their own eyes, however,

When I took my strengths test I was not necessarily shocked with what I received, more with what I did not receive. I thought for sure that I would have received positivity because people are always telling me how positive I am. Through learning about my strengths I have come to realize that all five of my strengths together may be the cause of my positive attitude, and all five of my strengths working together constantly are what people see. My strengths are restorative, communication, input, strategic, and achiever.

After taking the VIA character strengths survey, I found that i am great with teamwork, I love humor and everything surrounding it, I have a sense of humility, I appreciate beauty and/or excellence, and I’m creative. I strongly believe all of these are accurate because I receive comments on my strengths frequently. From previous grade levels, teachers have expressed that I work well in groups, whether I’m leading and taking action or just a member of a project group. There’s also something that gives me great pleasure when I see someone laughing or smiling because of me or a good laugh with friends which makes all worries seem to temporally melt away. When I make someone laugh it makes me feel as if I’ve earned that person’s respect to furthermore build a relationship. Besides humor, I sometimes take a few seconds out of my day to deeply analyze the beauty of a flower or simply ask myself unusual

Trying to decide what your personal strengths are, is hard. For myself, I have grown in my strengths, and I’ve experienced my weaknesses. My personal strengths consist of: positivity, encouragement, laughter, and love. I pick these four because I feel that I am truly strongest in these aspects of my life. Being positive is a big factor in everything I do. I always want to be happy and joyful; not only to display Christ in me, but to make others feel the way I do. I want others to appreciate life and to feel any kind of uplift in his or her spirt. Positivity plays into encouragement. I make it my goal to make others feel better about themselves. My goal coming into college was to learn and know every person(s) name that I got the chance to meet. Just taking a few minutes out of your day to truly get to know someone, is such a blessing. It not only blesses me in new friendships, but it also blesses others because they feel that someone genuinely cares about them. Laughter is another characteristic I strive to pour out onto others. I laugh at practically everything. I love to laugh, and I love to make people laugh. I’ve learned the importance of laughter, and I just want to make one person smile every day. Love is my last of the four attributes. Love is so important to me. I love creation (Trees, birds, squirrels), God, and I love people. I just want the love that God has given me, to pour out onto others. I want others to know that I love them. These are my personal strengths

I expected to get the majority of my strengths that appeared, but one that I was shocked to see was Gratitude. I am always very thankful when I receive a gift but I really do not pay close attention to when good things happen to me. I generally shake them off and do not focus on them. One of my five strengths that I would like to improve before my practicum starts is fairness, equity, and justice.

By taking the Strengths finder assessment I found my top five talents to be Restorative, Responsibility, Harmony, Relator, and Belief. I believe that I have had the opportunity to exemplify all of these talents in some aspect of my life from academics, positions I’ve held in organizations and lastly, the jobs I’ve taken on in the workforce. My strengths lie within the yellow and red quadrant and mainly are recognized in team related tasks.

Gratitude keeps you in a spiritual state where you are thanking something or someone for being there for you, blessing you, and helping you.

However, after devoting much thought and research towards the concept it transcends this notion and becomes increasingly more complex. Gratitude is the state of being appreciative and thankful. Gratitude can be expressed in many different manners, whether it be verbally, through a set of actions, or internally. Ultimately, gratitude is achieved when the recognition of positivity occurs. Gratitude is an intrinsic quality that everyone is capable of. However, despite this inherent nature not everyone practices being grateful. It takes effort and mindfulness to be grateful whereas being perpetually negative and pessimistic tends to come more easily to

I like to think I have many strengths. After review of my character/ personality test, I can see what they are. I am a task-oriented leader, which drives me to finish a project. I have a strong individual work ethic, which allows me to be responsible and not rely on others. I am good at building and leading

I believe there are many traits in life that make you a good person and lead you to live a happy life, but being grateful is one of the best traits you could obtain. Being grateful is one thing I feel many people in our society forget to do. One day I learned to always appreciate what I have instead of what I don’t.
