Your Personalized Strengths Insights
What makes you stand out?
Instinctively, you intentionally choose to partner with specialists when you need guidance to find the
correct solution. When you must make an honest and just decision, you turn to them for assistance.
You are likely to refrain from giving the impression you know everything. Cooperating with
knowledgeable and/or skilled individuals helps you immensely. In the process, you probably make
them feel highly valued. You usually create a hospitable environment for all your teammates. By
nature, you are inclined to be attentive to what people tell you. This explains why you are surprisingly
knowledgeable about the thoughts or feelings of others. You place a priority on giving equal attention
to every speaker, not just the people you like or those who share your interests. For that reason, your
understanding of individuals and situations is undoubtedly much greater than that of nonstop talkers.
It’s very likely that you tend to be quite practical about things. Although you want everyone to enjoy
being in your presence, you realize this is an unrealistic expectation. Nevertheless, you go out of your
way to treat every person you meet with the same amount of respect, care, concern, and hospitality.
Chances are good that you welcome opportunities to acquire additional knowledge and new skills.
From a practical perspective, ongoing education allows you to take advantage of experiences or
engage in activities for the first time. You are comfortable knowing that others are informed about
these training sessions. Not making this news available to everyone probably strikes you as unjust or
elitist — that is, snobbish. Driven by your talents, you long to attain mental and emotional steadiness
in your personal and professional life. For this reason, you prefer to perform all the tasks assigned to

obsessed, or exhaust yourself. You appear determined to give equal attention to the important parts
of your life.
Empathy
Shared Theme Description
People who are especially talented in the Empathy theme can sense the feelings of other people by
imagining themselves in others’ lives or others’ situations.
Your Personalized Strengths Insights
What makes you stand out?
By nature, you cause others to pay attention to their innermost thoughts and feelings. People are
confident of your ability to exercise good judgment and common sense. Many people trust you to
keep to yourself whatever they choose to share. Your capacity to imagine their situations and be
sensitive to their needs allows individuals to unburden themselves. You listen. You customarily
acknowledge their unique circumstances. Chances are good that you comprehend the needs,
feelings, hopes, and/or problems of others, especially those who seek your advice. Without saying a
word, your attentiveness tells them you really care. It’s very likely that you can brighten a person’s day
by accurately describing the emotions he or she feels. Whether it is happiness or sadness, jubilation
or disappointment, hope or despair, love or hate, tranquility or anger, you have a gift for honoring the
emotions that others are experiencing. Your awareness of their moods and the thoughtful way you
respond to them touches their hearts, not just their minds. Even when a person is having a very bad
day, you have the ability to transform it into a very good day. Few individuals can bring smiles to
others’ faces the way you can. Instinctively, you have keen awareness and insights into the moods of
individuals. You tend to be highly responsive to others’ thoughts and feelings. Not everyone can sit
with a person as he or she experiences a full range of emotions: happiness, anger, frustration,
gratitude, contentment, sadness, elation, despair, or grief. You rarely distance yourself from those
who you sense need you to be there for them. Driven by your talents, you allow people to experience
and express their feelings. Often you comprehend their unique challenges, worries, fears, hopes, or
joys before they say a word. Why? You can listen to anyone, regardless of whether they are
experiencing pain, happiness, disappointment, or joy. This is one way you affirm that person’s
humanity.
Consistency
Shared Theme Description
People who are especially talented in the Consistency theme are keenly aware of the need to treat
people the same. They try to treat everyone in the world with consistency by setting up clear rules and
adhering to them.

to show no favoritism. You want each person to have the same opportunities, access to information,
and resources. Dealing with people impartially probably is one of your core values. It’s very likely that
you commonly abide by regulations. You tend to operate within established budgets or time

languages, or cultures. You make it possible for individuals to work together. You aim to break down
barriers that separate them. Chances are good that you sense every event is somehow the
consequence of a series of actions, reactions, or lack of actions. You can accept that which cannot be
fully explained using logic. You say there are no accidents. You are confident that things are linked
together for a purpose that may or may not be revealed to you. By nature, you rely on your awareness
of others’ feelings, thoughts, and needs to guide you into and through partnerships. You consider
various ways to initiate, nurture, and sustain the linkages between individuals and groups. You bring
people together. You help them discover reasons to cooperate and support one another. Because of

that person feels and/or thinks. You probably have a gift for looking at the world through someone
else’s experiences. You frequently set aside your opinions, ideas, and/or past history to attune
yourself to another human being’s condition. It’s very likely that you might aid certain individuals by
making recommendations, suggesting changes, or providing advice. To some degree, you feel this is
your forte — that is, strength. Driven by your talents, you probably prefer to help individuals who think
about the future. Those who dwell on the past are apt to frustrate you. Why? They interfere with your
ability to concentrate on what can be accomplished and created in the coming years, decades, or
centuries. Chances are good that you might offer assistance to certain people after you have spent
some time observing and talking with them. To some degree, you pinpoint each one’s unique
interests, talents, limitations, experiences, goals, knowledge, or skills. Maybe these insights permit
you to tailor your response to meet the person’s situation.
