My Top 5 Strengths!!! WOOT WOOT!!!

here are the results of my Strengths Finder 2.0 test! *drumroll*


Intellection


People who are especially talented in the Intellection theme are characterized by their intellectual activity. They are introspective and appreciate intellectual discussions.

What makes you stand out?
It’s very likely that you derive much pleasure from pondering things deeply. After much forethought, you customarily reach conclusions, offer new ideas, suggest different ways of looking at situations, or ask probing questions. Because of your strengths, you are the ideal example of a person with an open and agile mind. Thinking consumes a great portion of your time. You like to exchange ideas with individuals who are as well-read as you are. Your passion for the written word fuels your thought processes and lays the groundwork for sophisticated conversations. When you are alone, you probably reflect upon the thoughts of brilliant writers or the findings of notable researchers. Driven by your talents, you eagerly welcome opportunities to think out loud about ideas, theories, or philosophies. You derive pleasure from conversations that force you to ponder matters that exist only in the realm of thought, not in reality. By nature, you value time alone to pursue your favorite pastime: thinking. Characteristically you scrutinize issues, theories, concepts, or philosophies from a variety of angles. Examining a topic is one way you familiarize yourself with its unique vocabulary. Often these terms are esoteric -- that is, understood by only a specialized group. Once you have thoroughly schooled yourself in a subject, you probably seek opportunities to speak and/or write about it. Instinctively, you have new ideas whirling around in your head much of the time. You are very interested in solving problems, conceiving new concepts, designing plans, or understanding everyday matters.


Input

People who are especially talented in the Input theme have a craving to know more. Often they like to collect and archive all kinds of information.

What makes you stand out?
Because of your strengths, you give yourself credit for reducing elaborate procedures, ideas, regulations, or systems to their fundamental parts. This explains why people ask you to tell them how things function and why other things malfunction. Instinctively, you can simplify the most complex, convoluted, or intricate procedure. People usually rely on you to offer clear and easy-to-comprehend explanations. It’s very likely that you yearn to know a lot. It
makes little sense to you to skim through a book and read only the highlights. You delve more deeply into intriguing subjects than most people do. You love to gather all kinds of information. This explains why you take time to grasp ideas that appear in print. By nature, you continually sharpen your methods for adding new words to your everyday vocabulary as well as your academic or professional vocabulary. You frequently use sophisticated terminology to make sure people who are well-educated about a topic or an issue really listen to what you say. Chances are good that you relish the nuances and intricacies of language. Your sophisticated or specialized vocabulary allows you to choose words for their power and clarity. Whether speaking or writing, you convey what you are thinking and feeling in a forceful, matter-of-fact manner. Usually no one has to second-guess -- that is, wonder about -- the true meaning of your intentions, messages, expectations, or orders.

Learner

People who are especially talented in the Learner theme have a great desire to learn and want to continuously improve. In particular, the process of learning, rather than the outcome, excites them.

What makes you stand out?
By nature, you enjoy reflecting on what you already know and on what you want to know. Your concentration leads you to major and minor discoveries. You need ample quiet time to critically examine new information, theories, concepts, or philosophies. Wherever you go and whatever you do, your mind is seldom at rest. You consider what you have observed. You pose never-before-asked questions. Thinking deeply about things is a necessity for you. It is not a luxury. It is not an option. Driven by your talents, you are an individual performer. You typically welcome opportunities to acquire knowledge and ponder ideas on your own. You often seek and find solitary places where you can think without being distracted by people or noise. It’s very likely that you thirst for new ideas and knowledge. Often you lose yourself in a book. You pore over the ideas contained on its pages for long stretches of time. Why? You
want to absorb as much information as you can. Because of your strengths, you likely are an individual performer. You usually channel your mental and physical energy into things that really intrigue you. Instinctively, you spend considerable time examining exactly why something has gone wrong. Whenever you experience a personal or professional loss, make a mistake, or experience failure, you tend to investigate. You are likely to be restless until you
have answers to all your basic questions: What? How? When? Where? Who? Why?

Connectedness

People who are especially talented in the Connectedness theme have faith in the links between all things. They believe there are few coincidences and that almost every event has a reason.

What makes you stand out?
By nature, you sometimes like to help people overcome obstacles that prevent them from linking up with one another. This partially explains why you engage certain newcomers or outsiders in small talk as well as serious discussions. Driven by your talents, you know you are a strand in the intricate web of life. You search for ways to link with individuals who also ponder concepts, theories, or philosophies. In their company, you are apt to discover or rediscover your special place and purpose in life. Chances are good that you might build
bridges of understanding between certain historians and futurists. Perhaps you agree with Shakespeare, who wrote: "What's past is prologue." Sometimes you raise people's awareness by pointing out how past events affect the present and may affect the future. It’s very likely that you sense that everything in life is somehow interrelated and interdependent. This idea steels -- that is, fortifies -- you to calmly face most of life's challenges and difficulties. Instinctively, you occasionally help people realize they are part of the human family. With your guidance, perhaps they understand that their lives are intertwined with people they will never meet.

Adaptability

People who are especially talented in the Adaptability theme prefer to “go with the flow.” They tend to be “now” people who take things as they come and discover the future one day at a time.

What makes you stand out?
Driven by your talents, you may decide that all is well in your life when you allow each day to unfold on its own terms. You might feel restricted or boxed in by people who force you to adhere to their plans, processes, rules, or procedures. Occasionally you argue that people must be flexible as they plan for the future. Why? Life is filled with constant surprises and change. Perhaps you avoid creating undue stress for yourself or others by acknowledging this simple fact. It’s very likely that you now and then picture events or situations you might find yourself facing in the coming months, years, or decades. Sometimes you consider ways you might react when these circumstances materialize. Because of your strengths, you normally pay attention to the loveliness that surrounds you. This includes people as well as things. You see special qualities in individuals that distinguish them from everyone else. This ability allows you to adjust your style to match that of the person with whom you are working, studying, or playing. Instinctively, you might have an ability to accept and deal with each day as it unfolds. You may be flexible enough to handle unexpected discoveries and situations. By nature, you surround yourself with lovely things. These have the power to soothe, calm, energize, and inspire you. The arts or nature itself enhances your sense of well-being. You probably pay attention to your environment because you choose to live each moment to its fullest.
