My Strengthsquest Survey

Decent Essays
When in was in module one our class completed a StrengthsQuest survey. This survey compiled information on how I study, what my strength and weaknesses are, and what kind of learner I am. The questions I answered from StreagthsQuest showed me I am very futuristic. When it says I am futuristic it means I am inspired by the future and what it could be. This explains a lot about my education and work history. My education has always been mediocre until I decided to look towards my future and go to college, I cannot wait to learn more. Working hard at work has always been easy for me it was the closest thing to doing what I wanted to do, and I loved making money. Now that I am older money still matters, but being happy is the end goal. Responsibility

    The five greatest strengths shown to me by the Strengthsfinder Survey were Consistency, Belief, Responsibility, Developer, and Relator. I chose a life of Civil Service, in the Military and now as a Police Officer. Having Consistency and Responsibility I believe fit right into this life choice and in my opinion if you don't have Belief in what you're doing you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place. I utilize Consistency on a daily basis as a Police Officer. I wholeheartedly believe each individual has the right to be treated fairly and on equal ground to anyone else regardless of social, economic or criminal justice standings.…

    Upon completing the StrengthsFinder survey, it is determined my 5 greatest strengths are the learner, achiever, competition, strategic, and relator, all of which I expected (Clifton, Anderson, & Schreiner, 2006). While reading the text I examined the various themes of different strengths, relating closely to the 5 assigned by the survey, I am impressed by how well the explanations were written in the book, Strengths Quest Second Edition. The text in correlation with the materials provided from the StrengthsFinder survey brought forth meaning and depth into finding out exactly the type of person I am. Learning is listed as my top strength in the survey (Clifton, Anderson, & Schreiner, 2006). I believe I have used that trait extensively throughout…

    disorders often go undiagnosed and untreated in primary care (Harbin, 2003). This indicates that while treatments are available for mental illness, there are provider and system-level barriers to the effective delivery of these services. Respect, ensuring inclusion and full participation of consumers in all aspects of their lives is crucial in achieving recovery. Giving respect to aid in recovery is respectful communication and behavior and using person first language. Respect is understanding that mental illness knows no cultural or ethnic boundaries thus providers must consider cultural humility and be sensitive to the beliefs and customs of the community (Pratt et al., 2011).…
