My Top Strengths


After completing my Strength Finder assessment and receiving my top five strengths I found that the results were shockingly accurate.  My top three strengths were competition, maximizer, and analytical.  I found that my number one strength competitiveness is a very accurate description of my top strength.  Throughout life I have always been actively involved in competition on and off the field.  Whether it is playing soccer, basketball, or baseball, or as simple as a class project, I have always wanted to be the best and come in first by all means.  This strength will hopefully be portrayed to a potential employer, as competition is very high in the job market currently.  Finally, being analytical is another accurate depiction of one of my strengths. I currently am a finance major where I enjoy analyzing stocks and learning new methods to price and predict stock movements.  I also have my own personal investments where I analyze and keep track of a specific portfolio of stocks that intrigue me.  When I apply for my dream job of being a financial analyst, I hope that this strength will shine the brightest.  Overall, the Strength Finder assessment seemed to be accurate and helpful. Now, when a potential employer asks me what my top strengths are I will be able to answer confidently and knowledgeably being able to accurately explain what I do best!
