Upon completing the StrengthsFinder survey, it is determined my 5 greatest strengths are the learner, achiever, competition, strategic, and relator, all of which I expected (Clifton, Anderson, & Schreiner, 2006). While reading the text I examined the various themes of different strengths, relating closely to the 5 assigned by the survey, I am impressed by how well the explanations were written in the book, Strengths Quest Second Edition. The text in correlation with the materials provided from the StrengthsFinder survey brought forth meaning and depth into finding out exactly the type of person I am.

    According to the StrengthsFinder’s description of restorative, it is someone who loves to solve problems and like to see improvement. I believe that StrengthsFinder got it right when it states that theme as one of my talents because I love to deal with problems and finding ways to fix or improve a situation. This could also be a reason why I love the field of research so much because that field constantly deals with problems that need improvement or a solution. All the trial researchers face intrigued me because I enjoy the constant mystery, discovery and the learning associated with that process.

    My Greatest Strength Analysis

    My greatest strength as it pertains to becoming a PA student and a graduate PA is my ability to pick up on information or medical procedures pretty quickly. Once I observe a Physician or a Physician Assistant performing a certain task or physical exam I can quickly learn how to perform it myself. I attribute this trait to my explicit attention to the small intricate details as it pertains to medicine. On the other hand, due to my natural emotional nature, my greatest weakness would be being too emotional with my patients especially if they have a terminal disease. I say this is my weakness because it can make me depressed and sad and that sometimes can affect other interactions I might have with my other patients.…

    College Essay About My Strengths Inventory

    The “strengths” inventory also brought to my attention a detail about my personality that I was oblivious to. One of my top strengths is “significance”, meaning that I want to appear important in the eyes of others. Now that I am aware of it, I can definitely see how it can be true. I do not necessarily want to showcase my significance to the world, rather, I derive pleasure in knowing that people recognize my potential intellectual capacity. This is a good thing because it motivates me to always be the best presentable version of myself.…
