I answered each question in the survey as honestly as possible. Maximizer, context, responsibility, discipline, and consistency are my greatest strengths (Anderson, Clifton, & Schreiner, 2006).
I have been at my job for almost sixteen years. Each of my supervisors had recognized my strength as a maximizer shortly after I was hired (Anderson, Clifton, & Schreiner, 2006).

When Stars & Stripes wrote an article about me receiving an award from the United States Postal Service in Camp Arifjan, Kuwait, I made sure that everyone involved in the mailroom was recognized and in the photograph.
In conclusion, my top five strengths are maximizer, context, responsibility, discipline, and consistency (Anderson, Clifton, & Schreiner, 2006). I find these strengths accurately identified in my life since I use them everyday in my career and in my personal
