Strengthsfinder 2.0
"I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence but it comes from within. It is there all the time." Anna Freud
So I picked up a copy of Strengthsfinder 2.0 and took the code from the book and did the online assessment. It seemed like a lot of questions but it did not take long to answer them. It came back with my assessment of my 5 key strengths:
- Context
- Individualization
- Connectedness
- Learner
- Intellection
The book and online aids give out some great information on the strengths it finds you reveal in your answers - and the list of possible strengths is a long one. The answers you pick in combination are used in some complex matrix to come up with the key 5. The way to use them in your teams, work environments, and probably relationships looks to be pretty interesting.
Here's what the expanded explanations were for mine:

Ever taken a Gallup survey?
Me neither.
So why is it that those surveys seem to be all we hear about these days?
Every time I turn on the news, read an article in the paper, or look at a news-related website, I'm being inundated with the way "Americans" are "trending" in their thoughts.

Mending Wall
Welcome to Stonesavage.com, a public blog of random thoughts.
The name of the site comes from a poem by Robert Frost called "Mending Wall", and has a special meaning to me as I believe it is the pinnacle of modern social commentary. I hope you enjoy my random, elaborate, and sometimes amusing thoughts. If they help to inspire you to bring down some walls of your own, then so much the better!
