Strengths Test

The other day I had to take this test online to find out what my "strengths" are. I thought the results were interesting and wanted to keep them somewhere so I decided to post them on here. It was a really interesting test and I think it is fairly accurate. Honestly though I was surprised at my number one. I consider myself a spiritual person but sometimes I feel like I really lack in that area. I forget to read my scriptures or pray sometimes and I can feel guilty that I spend so much time on other things and only read a chapter or 2 a night and things like that. But it was nice to see that even though I sometimes feel like I don't have enough faith or that I am behind, that it is still a major strength in my life. It is still something that empowers me and comforts me. It was good to be reminded that even though I am not perfect I am doing ok. Anyway, I just thought it was interesting....

Your Top Strength
Spirituality, sense of purpose, and faith
You have strong and coherent beliefs about the higher purpose and meaning of the universe. You know where you fit in the larger scheme. Your beliefs shape your actions and are a source of comfort to you.

Your Second Strength
Capacity to love and be loved
You value close relations with others, in particular those in which sharing and caring are reciprocated. The people to whom you feel most close are the same people who feel most close to you.

Your Third Strength
Gratitude
You are aware of the good things that happen to you, and you never take them for granted. Your friends and family members know that you are a grateful person because you always take the time to express your thanks.

Your Fourth Strength
Judgment, critical thinking, and open-mindedness
Thinking things through and examining them from all sides are important aspects of who you are. You do not jump to conclusions, and you rely only on solid evidence to make your decisions. You are able to change your mind.

Your Fifth Strength
Kindness and generosity
You are kind and generous to others, and you are never too busy to do a favor. You enjoy doing good deeds for others, even if you do not know them well.
