One of my "things", is being a "thinker". When I find something an insightful question which I am able to answer only partially, chances are that I'm taking this with me until I am able to provide a satisfactory answer.
So, what are we going to do with this?
I've started scribbling some thoughts, in the meantime I've stumbled upon a free test which claims to give some answers to the above question: https://high5test.com:
- "Know your best self": I can agree to that, as long as you take also the context into consideration;
- "Be happier": To some extent, possibly. I find this a tricky and somehow overrated one. Maybe "be more content" I can believe in;
- "Achieve your goals": no opinion;
- "Increase your confidence": I can imagine that knowing what you're good at can help increase your confidence. I cannot help but think about "self-assurance" (Strengths Finder 2.0). It is perfectly possible to be self-assured and not have confidence in yourself. Being aware of self-assurance could, in my opinion, lead to increased self-confidence;
- "Build stronger relationships": totally agree. These frameworks can make it easier to "bond" with other human beings, not just in pairs but also in group settings;
- "Progress your career": depends, I guess. I know that my own discovery of Strengths Finder 2.0 and my "Maximizer" realisation led to my decision that I wanted to do more with this. Which I have. So, I guess this could progress your career but I don't believe it "has" to. It all depends "what you want to do" on a daily basis, I guess.
