Strengthsfinder & Personal Growth

I took the Gallup Strengthfinder assessment last month and my top 5 strengths were:

1. Achiever
2. Futurist
3. Learner
4. Positivity
5. Strategic

I was really impressed with the tool showing that these were my strengths and to have 3 strengths in the “Strategic Thinking” category, I was a little disappointed that it showed I had virtually 0 top strengths in the “Influencing” category.

I was upset since my goal is to initiate change and forward thinking with those around me, but I guess I’m not a “natural” at influencing people for the better.

Instead of resigning myself to not being an influence…It’s time to get to work!

By capitalizing on my strengths like positivity and futurist, I can continue to learn and grow and improve my skills in the influencing category like maximizing, communication, activator and command!

Have you ever taken one of these types of assessments? Were you pleasantly surprised with your top strengths, or did you see room for growth, like me?
