HIGH5 Strengths Test (completed, results below)
My top 5: Coach, Empathizer, Time keeper, Problem solver, Optimist
Coach: Coaches love discovering the potential in people and supporting others' personal growth. It's hard for them to accept when this potential is being wasted. (feeling)
Empathizer: Empathizers are great at understanding how people feel and use this sensibility to do good for others. They become frustrated when asked to disregard feelings and focus solely on logic instead. (feeling)
Time keeper: Nothing excites Time Keepers more than meeting a deadline. They enjoy setting up processes, timelines and plans. They may feel confused in chaotic circumstances where neither the outcomes nor the ways to achieve these are clear. (doing)
Problem solver: Problem Solvers love uncovering flaws, diagnosing problems and coming up with solutions. It is difficult for them to simply sweep unresolved issues under the rug and keep going as if everything is fine. (doing)
Optimist: Optimists enjoy praising the good in people and are grateful for what they have. They find it difficult to be around those who constantly focus on the negative. (feeling)
