Signature Strengths Test


For those of you who are really having trouble finding out what you're good at, may I suggest this test. I Googled Positive Psychology, which is an emerging science dedicated to the principles espoused in Craig's class. The test is a series of 24 questions designed to show the relative strengths and weaknesses in who you are as a person. Your results aren't absolute, you are compared to people with similar characteristics as you, such as the same age group, geographic location, education level, etc. I found that my results were really similar to how I perceived myself. Learn more about the test and a lot of other topics realted to Positive Psychology here.

If you're interested in positive psychology, Google Martin Seligman and browse through the results. I also found out that degrees are being offereed in this area. Penn is offerring a Masters in Applied Positive Psychology. That sounds like a really interesting masters program; too bad I'm a business student. To look into this, as well as a video of Dr. Seligman, click here.
