How to Identify Your Personal Strengths

Turn broad character descriptions into specific examples of strengths.

Look for repeated actions

Start with three moments when you helped a task move forward. Perhaps you organized confusing information, listened carefully or suggested an alternative. Describe what you did using a verb instead of a broad label such as talented.

Ask for an example

Ask someone you trust when they have seen you at your best. A specific story is more useful than general praise. Compare that story with your own examples and look for a skill that appears more than once.

Choose a small application

Pick one strength and use it deliberately this week. If you clarify ideas well, summarize a meeting. If you enjoy organizing, create a simple checklist. A quiz can suggest a starting point, but actual actions provide the evidence.
