These qualities are also known as character strengths and weaknesses. One of the main reasons for assessing character strengths is to use that information to understand, identify, and build on a person™s strengths. Some examples of character strengths are being careful, virtuous, and open- minded; and examples of weaknesses are stubborn, over-thinking, and timid. Positive psychology focus on the strengths. I was asked to take a character strength quiz and the results for me have shown that my signature strengths include gratitude, love, curiosity, honesty and humor. Each of these things have helped me deal with all challenges and obstacles life throws at me and pushed me to become resilient through it all. Having a strong sense of gratitude throughout life has helped me cope with all the stress and trauma I™ve experienced throughout my story while remaining grateful that I was able to have those experiences.
