Maybe it’s because I just completed my performance review at work. Maybe I’m especially reflective as I fully embrace my 30′s. Maybe I’m just bored. Anyhow, over the weekend I took the StrengthsFinder personality test.
Who needs another personality quiz, right? Well this one is pretty cool. This is the 2nd version of this particular personality quiz/analyzer from the Gallup organization. I really like this one because it is focused on all the things you do really well and it offers specific ways to nurture your strengths in your life rather then telling you to change to fit another person’s idea of who you should be.
You have to buy the book to do the test. It is $20 at Barnes and Noble, $12 at Amazon. Or you could get the book at your library. Anyhow, Brian and I both did the test over the weekend. Maybe it just hit me at the right time but I just found it really powerful in helping me more explicitly define what opportunities I will ask for at work.
