● Talent Theme: a group of similar
talents (your results on the assessment);
often referred to as themes
● Strength: the ability to consistently

your talent to an activity or situation
(investment)

patterns of thoughts, feelings, or behaviors.

breathing. You can't not do them. You actually do them without even trying.
● You are given only five themes so that you can hone in on your most dominant
talents thus providing your greatest opportunity for strength (positive psychology).
