I completed a few days ago a "strengths" test. It was suggested to those watching/participating in a recent Joan Hunter "Unleashed" conference. The female speaker suggested taking a "Strengths Test." I followed through and took a test. I recall taking this type of test many years ago. I should try to look for those results in comparison to today's results, that would be interesting if I didn't throw away the results from years ago. I am copy/pasting the actual way the results came to me from the test results ok. Not my words but those of the findings after completing 100 questions in the test. You will see " " marks at the beginning and the end because they are not my words, but the results given from the test.
"SELF-BELIEVER
Your objective is to radiate confidence. You are not worried by what the future holds and, deep inside your heart, you know you will get through no matter what happens. Your inner confidence and self-motivation allow you to take risks, face new challenges, stake claims, and most importantly, deliver on your word. Your confidence applies not only to your abilities but also to your judgments. You seem to make the right decisions in all situations, which, for others, creates a sense of trust and security. This feeling of certainty is crucial for driving the decision-making process in any team.
COACH
Your goal is to develop people’s potential. You believe that, contrary to what some might think, everybody has the potential for development. No-one has ever reached the ultimate level of excellence — there is always room for growth. It is your personal mission to help others realize and use their potential to experience success. As a result, you always look for ways to facilitate their learning, from challenging their thoughts in a discussion to creating environments that facilitate progress. As a leader, you truly care about the development of your team members, and they respect you for that.
- TIME KEEPER
Your objective is to set timelines and deadlines. Surprises annoy you, so you prefer to plan everything. You don’t necessarily need full control, but there must be order and predictability in the world around you. You unconsciously impose structure into everything by setting up routines, timelines and deadlines. If you make plans, you follow them thoroughly, no matter what. In a team or project environment, your need for structure and discipline are extremely valuable in maintaining progress and productivity.
- DELIVERER
Your underlying goal is to take responsibility. If anyone is emotionally bound to following through on their promises, it’s you, the Deliverer. Your strong ethical principles don’t allow you to simply write off missteps with excuses and rationalizations. And this holds true no matter how small or large the issue. Your name and reputation depend on you being responsible for your commitments. That’s why people love to have you on their team. You’re the first person they turn to when assigning new responsibilities, because they’re 100% sure that whatever needs to be accomplished will get done.
- OPTIMIST
Your mission is to bring in a positive spirit. You believe that the glass is half-full instead of half-empty. You always find a way to make things more exciting, whether it’s a work project or an everyday situation. You infect others with your enthusiasm, and that’s why they love being around you. Sure, there are people who don’t buy your positivity, but does that stop you? No way! Your optimism simply doesn’t allow it. In a team environment, you are grateful for people and circumstances, generous with praise and quick to point out the positive side of every situation. This is key to motivating people and mitigating conflicts."
There is an option to pay for the full test results but I have no interest in doing that. Now this is interesting, they allow you to send the results via email to people you submit their email to, to get their opinion. No interest in that either. I find it interesting in the word choice of me being rated as my 4th ranked strength, deliverer. Now, I know they mean it in 1 way but I am trained in deliverance ministry. How cool is that? I think the natural is lining up with the spiritual in my life. Have a beautiful day and bless those around you ok. I am blessed to be a blessing to bless others are you too?
