What Positive Strengths Do You Have?

Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. You will be amazed if you take the time to write yours down.

This morning, as I was doing some research, this article caught my attention: Personal Strengths Defined (+ List of 92 Personal Strengths)

Here is a sample of what the article includes:

Within positive psychology, personal strengths are defined as our built-in capacities for particular ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving (Linley, 2008). We all possess distinct character strengths that are associated with the six virtues of positive psychology theory (Seligman, 2002):

Wisdom
1. Creativity
2. Curiosity
3. Love of learning
4. Open-mindedness
5. Perspective
Courage
1. Authenticity
2. Bravery
3. Persistence
4. Zest
Humanity
1. Kindness
2. Love
3. Social intelligence
Justice
1. Fairness
2. Leadership
3. Teamwork
Temperance
1. Forgiveness
2. Modesty/Humility
3. Prudence
4. Self-regulation
Transcendence
1. Appreciation of beauty and excellence
2. Gratitude
3. Hope
4. Humor
5. Religiousness/Spirituality

Over three years, Peterson and Seligman (2004) explored what personal strengths might look like and came up with the above list of 24 core strengths. They referred to these as character strengths and concluded the following:

These 24 strengths are evident across human history and world cultures.
Each of the 24 strengths exists in all of us to varying degrees.
Positive psychology helps us acknowledge that we may be stronger in some areas and weaker in others, which is okay. It's what makes us all unique. The point is to identify your pattern of strengths so that you can tap into these to live a more fulfilling life.
