Found your blog while googling the book you mention, and started reading it !

While I’m yet to take the test, your five qualities amaze me, and make me look forward to seeing those as my first five !

I’m in love with the strengths test, it is my new philosophy on life. First of all…

-Ideation, Adaptability, Activator, Futuristic, Connectedness-

I find it funny that a lot of you all have ideation in your top 5. I feel that part of the reason I love the book so much is because it “provides the best explanation behind the most events”. Although I have been trying to get other people to take the test and what not I wonder if it is not as enjoyable for them because they don’t have the Ideation theme.

I am in college now and see so many students disengaged wasting their potential trying to fit into majors and career paths for shallow unrealistic idealized visions of what the job will be like. Of course never taking into account their unique skill set they bring into the world.

I think this is revolutionary and must be implemented to colleges across the country.

Our district is beginning to focus on the strengths of its staff and students to try to provide a better education for our students. All of our staff and students in grades 5-12 have taken the StrengthsFinder and we’re working to find ways to help students (and staff) develop their strengths to help them excel. It’s great stuff and a great way to not only motivate people but individualize and differentiate instruction.

“I wonder why schools and colleges don’t spend an inordinate amount of their time developing deep understandings of an individuals strengths.” I’ve wondered that myself. Imagine how many more people would graduate, and be a bigger part of their school? It’s immeasurable. I wonder if it’s just ignorance or complacency, or what. When I was in school, I worked with counselors, did Meyers-Briggs, but I got nowhere. I picked my major by process of elimination, not by specification. Now, I’m changing directions to follow MY strengths. Better late than never!
