StrengthsQuest, currently known as CliftonStrengths, is an assessment that helps students identify their talents. It also provides tips and help on how to continue developing those talents in a way that makes them and their approach in different situations seem unique. My top five StrengthsQuest themes are harmony, adaptability, positivity, strategic and includer.
The theme that describes me and shows my strength the most is adaptability. As a freshman and first generation female college student, I am used to changing my routine, behavior and how I handle situations when in certain conditions that are not usual to me. I have learned to live in the moment and deal with situations as they come and go, while also focusing on the near and far future. During these unpredictable moments, I’ve learned to help the people I’m working with find a solution and deal with such events efficiently and reduce their frustration. This has led me to improving my skills which include problem solving, teamwork, critical thinking, openness and having a mindset that allows me to utilize every situation as a lesson and opportunity to grow.
