Strengths Identification Worksheet
| Strengths | Description or Definition | What does it help me to do? | When/where have I recently used this? |
| 1) Relator | I enjoy close relationships with others. I find deep satisfaction in working hard with friends to achieve a goal. | It can help me naturally form genuine and mutually rewarding one-on-one relationships. My authenticity allows me to build close, long-lasting connections that foster trust and confidence. | I’ve spent the last fortnight keeping in touch with my best friend via a mobile phone chat app, even though I’ve had a lot on my plate. Stay in contact with my friends, no matter how busy I am. My closest relationships energize me. |
| 2) Intellection | My intellectual activity characterizes me. I am introspective and appreciate intellectual discussions. | It can help me to think, muse, and reflect. My powerful mental processing and intellectual activity empower me to clarify and explain, regardless of the topic or situation. | Set aside a few minutes every day to collect my thoughts. This reflection time will energize me, making my thinking sharper and more effective. For a fortnight after school started, I sat in bed every day before I went to sleep and thought about things, including a summary of the day and thoughts about what I wanted to accomplish the next day. |
| 3) Deliberative | I am best described by my serious care in making decisions or choices. I anticipate obstacles. | It can help me be thorough and conscientious. Through my natural anticipation and careful thought process, I know how to reduce risks and prevent problems from arising. | Rely on my good judgment, caution and conservative decision-making during times of change. My unwavering reliability in identifying and reducing risk is a powerful advantage, providing a sense of security and confidence. During the last week, when I was having a hard time, I would think about it and look for the best solution. |
| 4) Learner | I have a great desire to learn and want to improve continuously. The process of learning, rather than the outcome, excites me. | It can help me learn, and I intuitively know how to learn best. My natural ability to pick up and absorb information quickly and to challenge myself to learn more continually keeps me on the cutting edge. | Keep track of my learning progress. If a skill or topic has distinct levels or stages of learning, celebrate my progression from one level to the next. If not, I create them for myself. After each class, for the past two weeks, I’ve been organizing what I’ve learned and setting goals for the rest of the week. |
| 5) Achiever | I work hard and have great stamina. I take immense satisfaction in being busy and productive. | It can help me to complete tasks, and my accomplishments fulfill me. I have a strong inner drive — an innate source of intensity, energy, and power that motivates me to work hard to get things done. | I take time to celebrate each success, even for just a few minutes, before moving on to the next item or task. I’m feeling happy about the good work I did on the previous week’s assignments this weekend before I get ready to start on the assignments due next week to motivate me. |
