I absolutely love taking personality and strength tests. I've done several; Myers Briggs (ENFJ), "Leading From Your Strengths", and most recently StrengthsFinder 2.0.
StrengthsFinder 2.0 helps you discover your "Top 5 themes" or strengths based on a questionnaire. Then it gives you two descriptions.
1. A brief "Shared Theme Description" for each of your top five themes
2. Your "Personalized Strengths Insights", which describe what makes you stand out from others with the same theme in their top five.
I thought it was pretty neat and after taking the test I really loved the way my words sound. Check it-
My top 5 themes are:
1. Communication
2. Woo
3. Positivity
4. Activator
5. Strategic
:: Communication ::
Shared Theme Description
People who are especially talented in the Communication theme generally find it easy to put their thoughts into words. They are good conversationalists and presenters.
Your Personalized Strengths Insights
Driven by your talents, you usually attract listeners with your stories, presentations, lectures, or speeches. You routinely seek opportunities to talk about what you think, feel, or have experienced. Chances are good that you very much enjoy the animated give-and-take of a lively discussion. It’s very likely that you naturally gravitate to situations where you can be your true self. You feel life is wonderful when people listen as you share stories about your successes, failures, talents, limitations, hopes, or fears. Because of your strengths, you generally keep discussions and light conversation moving when you are chatting with someone you know well. By nature, you regularly surround yourself with people. You are energized by what you learn about each one. You crave to know what makes a person special, singular, or distinct from all the others you encounter.
:: Woo ::
Shared Theme Description
People who are especially talented in the Woo theme love the challenge of meeting new people and winning them over. They derive satisfaction from breaking the ice and making a connection with another person.
Your Personalized Strengths Insights
By nature, you assert — that is, declare and affirm — that every person comes into your life for a definite purpose. This explains why you launch into discussions or engage in small talk with people you are meeting for the first time. You really want to figure out why your paths in life have crossed. Chances are good that you undoubtedly are talkative in social situations. You have a good time circulating from group to group. You feel wonderful about life when people appreciate your unreserved, gregarious, and friendly nature. Instinctively, you probably have been told at some point in your life that you should not talk to strangers. Whoever said this failed to understand how much energy you draw from conversations with outsiders. You want these people to feel at ease in your presence. This explains why you engage them in chitchat or discussions. You are likely to ignore recommendations to keep your distance from newcomers. To do so may be misguided, senseless, or wrong in your opinion. Driven by your talents, you feel a surge of energy when you start talking with newcomers. You typically generate such enthusiasm in these outsiders that they participate in activities, join teams, register for classes, or interview for jobs. It’s very likely that you spark the interests of others with your keen wit and sociable nature. You can quickly establish an easy rapport with individuals by telling a joke, smiling, introducing yourself, or giving a compliment. You recognize that laughter is a universal language.
:: Positivity ::
Shared Theme Description
People who are especially talented in the Positivity theme have an enthusiasm that is contagious. They are upbeat and can get others excited about what they are going to do.
Your Personalized Strengths Insights
Driven by your talents, you feel much better about yourself and life in general when you have a worthwhile cause or project to which you can dedicate your mind, body, and spirit. Instinctively, you may be regarded by people as a big-hearted person. Perhaps this is one way you transform strangers into friends. Perhaps out of thoughtfulness and kindness, you share your time, knowledge, or possessions with others. Because of your strengths, you realize how wonderful your life is when you have been able to assist someone in need. By nature, you support the people around you by acknowledging their outstanding accomplishments and stellar performances. Chances are good that you enjoy discovering as much as you can about the people you meet. You are friendly and enjoy socializing. You quickly put at ease those you are meeting for the first time or the tenth time.
:: Activator ::
Shared Theme Description
People who are especially talented in the Activator theme can make things happen by turning thoughts into action. They are often impatient.
Your Personalized Strengths Insights
Chances are good that you celebrate the achievements and successes of individuals and groups. You compliment them. Your enthusiasm energizes people and makes them eager to tackle the task at hand. Time and again you say and do things that re-invigorate their minds, bodies, and spirits. By nature, you sometimes make people feel special. Typically you point out the importance or usefulness of something they said. Because of your strengths, you routinely spark the enthusiasm of individuals. Your own job, studies, or life becomes much more exhilarating when you help others more fully experience their lives. It’s very likely that you undisputedly stir people’s emotions by motivating them to take action. Discovering what makes each person unique is one of the ways you galvanize — that is, stimulate — groups or energize particular individuals. Instinctively, you traditionally determine for yourself and others what should be done. After you have made up your mind, you typically waste little time moving forward with projects or assignments.
:: Strategic ::
Shared Theme Description
People who are especially talented in the Strategic theme create alternative ways to proceed. Faced with any given scenario, they can quickly spot the relevant patterns and issues.
Your Personalized Strengths Insights
Because of your strengths, you usually feel satisfied with life when your innovative thinking style is appreciated. You automatically pinpoint trends, notice problems, or identify opportunities many people overlook. Armed with this knowledge, you usually devise alternative courses of action. By evaluating the circumstances, available resources, and/or the potential consequences of each plan, you can select the best option. Instinctively, you are a self-reliant person who needs time alone to think and work. You generate innovative ideas and propose systematic programs of action. You likely identify recurring configurations in the behavior of people, the functioning of processes, or the emergence of potential problems. By nature, you select the right combination of words to convey your ideas or feelings. In the middle of discussions, your vocabulary provides you with precise phrases and terminology. You probably express yourself with ease and grace. It’s very likely that you probably feel very good about yourself and life in general when you know the exact words to express an idea or a feeling. Language has fascinated you since childhood. Your ever-expanding vocabulary often earns you compliments. Chances are good that you generate innovative ideas. You offer unique perspectives on events, people, and proposals. You probably inspire people to start projects and launch initiatives. You tend to identify a goal, devise numerous ways of reaching it, then choose the best alternative. This explains why you see opportunities, trends, and solutions before your teammates, classmates, or peers see them.
