Harmony
SHARED THEME DESCRIPTION
People who are especially talented in the Harmony theme look for consensus. They don’t enjoy conflict;
rather, they seek areas of agreement.
YOUR PERSONALIZED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS
What makes you stand out?
Because of your strengths, you periodically schedule time to consider what you might create or accomplish
in the coming weeks, months, years, or decades. Since you are somewhat practical, your ideas may be a
bit more realistic than those of others. Perhaps your proposals are not mere pipe dreams — that is, wishful
thinking. Maybe you feel that when you publicly share your thoughts, you might give more individuals an
equal chance of participating, benefiting, or contributing to the effort. It’s very likely that you occasionally
carve out time to envision what might be accomplished in the coming weeks, months, years, or decades.
People may welcome your ideas when they appear practical or doable. Perhaps you refuse to force
anyone to embrace your initiative exactly as you have outlined it. Maybe you add a few of their ideas so the
plan becomes theirs rather than yours alone. Sometimes your diplomatic approach prevents
misunderstandings or disagreements from arising later in the process. Chances are good that you
periodically object when certain people favor a specific person or group. You may be equally upset when
they exhibit biases that harm individuals. Perhaps you gather facts to mount a proper defense. Perhaps
your presentations are effective because you carefully consider your listeners’ perspectives. Although you
try to avoid confrontation, maybe you recognize when it is the only way to reestablish dialogue between
individuals. By nature, you occasionally desire to amass knowledge. Being somewhat practical, you might
turn to particular specialists for their insights, information, or guidance. It is not your style to make certain
people think you know everything. Instead, you may want to arrive at correct conclusions and make proper
decisions. By seeking the counsel of a few wise and experienced individuals, maybe you discover common
ground and avoid disagreements. Driven by your talents, you may notice that some people are more
cooperative and agreeable when they do today’s assignments today. Sometimes you point out that putting
off tasks or chores is impractical. To some degree, it creates more work or stress for certain individuals the
next day. Perhaps you realize that when people disappoint one another, tempers may flare and harsh
words may be uttered. Simply doing whatever needs to be done right now might prevent discord — that is,
an inability to get along with each other.

Responsibility
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.
By nature, you sometimes are honest with yourself about yourself. You might be candid about your
limitations when you are talking with certain individuals. Perhaps you are comfortable admitting you need to
do some things better, more completely, or more perfectly. It’s very likely that you normally strive to do
things right. Taking shortcuts strikes you as unprincipled, thoughtless, and careless. You likely refuse to
produce sloppy work or engage in unethical practices. Chances are good that you may reject the idea that
telling a falsehood about something unimportant is acceptable. Perhaps you refuse to make an innocent
social excuse to protect someone’s feelings. Because of your strengths, you experience pangs of remorse
when you realize you failed to do something you promised to do. You feel awful when you do not do
something correctly. You probably regret having compromised your basic values about right and wrong.
Driven by your talents, you do much more than just try to live up to your commitments. You persist working
until you can deliver on your promises. This certainly enhances your reputation for being trustworthy,
reliable, and dependable.

Arranger
People who are especially talented in the Arranger theme can organize, but they also have a flexibility that
complements this ability. They like to figure out how all of the pieces and resources can be arranged for
maximum productivity.
Chances are good that you might move your colleagues closer to the victory circle by insisting they are on
the very best team. Perhaps you challenge them to protect their reputation as winners. By nature, you may
gravitate to study groups or workgroups whose members have a wide variety of tasks to perform
throughout the day. Perhaps you benefit from frequent changes of pace. You might become weary or
easily distracted when you have to do or think about the same thing for more than an hour. Driven by your
talents, you occasionally observe members of your group to identify what makes each one unique or
special. Perhaps you study a person’s talents, quirks, motivations, or idiosyncrasies. Occasionally you can
pinpoint someone’s preferred way of thinking, working, or relating to people. It’s very likely that you might
be the group member who creates fresh approaches for dealing with various activities. Perhaps you are
inspired to invent new methods for performing tasks, reaching goals, operating processes, distributing
goods, or increasing production. Sometimes you have suggested original thoughts for collecting materials,
handling complaints, organizing events, raising funds, or completing assignments. Because of your
strengths, you may be perceived by your teammates as a businesslike individual. Perhaps you avoid
activities in the workplace or classroom that might make you appear foolish.

Belief
People who are especially talented in the Belief theme have certain core values that are unchanging. Out
of these values emerges a defined purpose for their life.
By nature, you can sometimes place the needs of others ahead of your own. Driven by your talents, you
sometimes need to inform others about the pitfalls and obstacles you see so clearly. You may or may not
know what to do about the problem. Nonetheless, you might be aware of its existence when others are not.
Because of your strengths, you might be inclined to get to know people on a personal level. Once you
understand someone as an individual, you might be more apt to inconvenience yourself or give up
something you value for that person. Instinctively, you might strive harder than most to find special
meaning in your life. Perhaps adding value to the lives of others enriches your own life. Chances are good
that you occasionally set aside time to evaluate whether your plans or judgments align with your values.
Perhaps you rely on reason rather than emotion when you must make a choice that will affect you or
someone else.

Developer
People who are especially talented in the Developer theme recognize and cultivate the potential in others.
They spot the signs of each small improvement and derive satisfaction from these improvements.
Chances are good that you occasionally tell people what you know, what you have experienced, or what
you can do. You might benefit when they provide you with information about their talents, knowledge, and
skills. Instinctively, you may place importance on convincing people that you value them as human beings.
Maybe you reinforce what they know, have experienced, or can do. Individuals might want to become your
friend. Why? Maybe you affirm their worth the moment they start doubting themselves. It’s very likely that
you may multiply the power of your strengths by sharing them with your teammates. Occasionally you
argue that a group is more important than any one person. Perhaps you want everyone to produce
outstanding results. Your desire to be on a winning team might be amplified when scores, ratings, or
rankings determine the championship. Driven by your talents, you can sometimes instill a sense of self-
worth in individuals. Perhaps you are one of the people in their lives who values them, sees what they can
become, and believes in them. Because of your strengths, you sometimes enjoy offering your resources —
including your knowledge and skills — to others. When you practice the art of giving, individuals might
value your companionship and give back to you.
