strengths finder

here's a book i'd recommend. It's called Strengths Finder 2.0 by Tom Rath. It helps find your top strengths.. go figure.. i'd say it's pretty accurate., cuz the test thingy comes with it.. i think a lot of my strengths have to do with trying to help others. 1,3&5 are contemplative and try to connect patterns for solutions.. while 2&4 are strengths that try to support others. so i guess counseling is something i probably would enjoy. The book focuses primarily on how one deals with working with others, career ideas, relational tendencies, and how one handles problems.

my top 5 are,


1) Strategic    -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.

 2) Restorative  -People who are especially talented in the Restorative theme are adept at dealing with problems. They are good at figuring out what is wrong and resolving it.

 3) Deliberative  -People who are especially talented in the Deliberative theme are best described by the serious care they take in making decisions or choices. They anticipate the obstacles.

 4) Relator  -People who are especially talented in the Relator theme enjoy close relationships with others. They find deep satisfaction in working hard with friends to achieve a goal.

 5) Ideation  -People who are especially talented in the Ideation theme are fascinated by ideas. They are able to find connections between seemingly disparate phenomena.
