find deep satisfaction in working hard with friends to achieve a goal.
Your Personalized Strengths Insights
What makes you stand out?
Because of your strengths, you feel most fulfilled when you are busy and simply performing routine
tasks. When you have nothing to do, typically you find something to do. Sitting around and wasting
time does not suit you at all. By nature, you have close companions who frequently seek your
guidance. You help them find answers to their personal and professional problems. This makes you a
valuable friend. Driven by your talents, you are fully aware of what is said when people confide in you.
They know you hear them. They know you care about them. They know you comprehend what they
are thinking and feeling. Often friends turn to you to test an idea or express an opinion. Based on your
comments, they can evaluate whether their ideas make sense. It’s very likely that you occasionally
initiate small talk with newcomers and outsiders. On one level, you might make people comfortable in
an unfamiliar setting with unfamiliar people. On another level, you might notice that strangers solicit
your views on particular issues. Perhaps they reveal who referred them to you. Your knowledge and
your personal interest in others may cause some individuals to return again and again with the same
basic question: “What do you think about . . .?” Instinctively, you have the ability to instruct, train, or
offer suggestions to people who look to you for assistance.

2. Responsibility
Shared Theme Description
People who are especially talented in the Responsibility theme take psychological ownership of what
they say they will do. They are committed to stable values such as honesty and loyalty.
Your Personalized Strengths Insights
What makes you stand out?
Chances are good that you usually want to be held accountable for outcomes, especially when what
you are being asked to do sounds reasonable. You are apt to scrutinize your own and others’ ideas
before you begin a task. Driven by your talents, you sometimes ponder what you could do better. You
may find some new ways to deliver on the commitments you have made to certain individuals.
Perhaps keeping promises is one way you might enhance the quality of your work. It’s very likely that
you sometimes feel twinges of guilt when certain tasks are done carelessly. Perhaps you want to be
associated with quality. You might be disappointed in yourself when you compromise some of your
beliefs about right and wrong. By nature, you are held in high regard because of your dependability
and consistent values. You are someone upon whom others often rely. Why? You do exactly what
you said you would do. Instinctively, you are naturally compelled to admit the truth. If someone asked
you or told you to intentionally mislead someone, you would reply, “I cannot and I will not do that!”
Analytical
Shared Theme Description
People who are especially talented in the Analytical theme search for reasons and causes. They have
the ability to think about all the factors that might affect a situation.
Your Personalized Strengths Insights
What makes you stand out?
Instinctively, you are unsentimental and not often swayed by emotional arguments or passionate
pleas. People are likely to describe you as quite realistic and practical. Driven by your talents, you
assess all of the activities on your day’s agenda. Then you assign to each a level of importance and
urgency. As soon as you have outlined your plan, you methodically move into action. It’s very likely
that you truly enjoy instructing people. You prefer to invest your time in trainees or students who
genuinely appreciate your carefully reasoned approach to a particular topic. By nature, you might
search for facts when coping with uncertain situations. By taking a problem apart piece by piece, you
occasionally discover its glitches — that is, its minor problems that cause temporary setbacks. Once
in a while, your objective investigation benefits individuals, particularly those who become emotional
when confronted with difficulties. Perhaps your insights into what is factual enable them to view things
a bit more matter-of-factly. Maybe this is one way you help some people agree on how to deal with
unpleasant circumstances or overcome obstacles. Because of your strengths, you customarily search
for pertinent facts and relevant data to reconstruct the chain of events that produced a problem or an

3. opportunity. You prefer reasonable explanations. Typically you reject the notion that fate, chance, or
luck rules your life.
Input
Shared Theme Description
People who are especially talented in the Input theme have a craving to know more. Often they like to
collect and archive all kinds of information.
Your Personalized Strengths Insights
What makes you stand out?
It’s very likely that you may interpret and straightforwardly outline ideas, processes, or projects that
some people have difficulty understanding. Driven by your talents, you are comfortable saying, “I am a
fine educator.” You probably converse with others in your field about ideas, theories, or concepts to
gather the latest thinking. Using these insights, you are apt to draw your students into discussions that
entice them to explore topics. You want them to really understand the subject rather than memorize a
few facts just to pass a test. Because of your strengths, you prepare for important conversations or
discussions by collecting lots of background information. It is not unusual for you to set aside at least
five hours of quiet time each week to consider what you have discovered. You are likely to use this
time to expand your thinking. A new piece of material can send you hunting for additional evidence to
support your theories, concepts, or proposals. Instinctively, you eagerly welcome opportunities to
think out loud about ideas, theories, or philosophies. You derive pleasure from conversations that
force you to ponder matters that exist only in the realm of thought, not in reality. By nature, you can
finagle — that is, obtain by indirect or involved means — time with people who think about the coming
years and decades. Routinely, you read their writings or listen to their conversations. You probably
ask them questions and consider their responses. You file away lots of ideas and facts, sensing that
one day this information will prove to be useful. Whether it ever actually does become useful makes
no difference to you. Collecting the predictions of forward-looking thinkers is apt to be rewarding in
and of itself.
Learner
Shared Theme Description
People who are especially talented in the Learner theme have a great desire to learn and want to
continuously improve. In particular, the process of learning, rather than the outcome, excites them.
Your Personalized Strengths Insights
What makes you stand out?
By nature, you might offer assistance to people when the predicament in which they find themselves
fascinates you. Maybe you come to the aid of others when they ask you to study an intriguing
problem, unanswered question, or unfamiliar subject. Occasionally you are delighted to report back to

to scholarly pursuits. You might think seriously about certain issues or ideas for hours. Perhaps you
feel a bit more optimistic about life when you can dedicate yourself to your studies. Sometimes you
resist the temptation to quit when obstacles, interruptions, or difficulties momentarily break your
concentration. Driven by your talents, you may see some value in continuous education. Perhaps this
reflects your interest in particular topics. Sometimes you are fascinated with the process of acquiring
knowledge or skills. It’s very likely that you may devote yourself to things that intrigue you. Sometimes
your attention intensifies if you are encouraged to immerse yourself in a specific activity or topic.
Instinctively, you occasionally center your efforts on making improvements you decide are intriguing
or relevant to your life. Maybe you need to feel passionate about these opportunities. Why? You might
want to devote time and energy to acquiring the knowledge and/or skills you sense you lack. To some
degree, this explains why you periodically force yourself to address specific shortcomings.
