Upon seeing my top five strengths, I find myself agreeing to it. When I ask my loved ones about me, something that they always say is that I always show my affection and that I'm good with people, be it working with them or just getting along. To be honest, I did expect these results. I take pride in my openness, vulnerability, and depth of emotions. I feel like I have so much to share with my loved ones, and I am happy to do so. While I don't really have a sense of purpose or what I really want to do, I'm sure that I want to stand by my family and friends. With them, it's much more fun to live.

I think my top 1 is so similar to the stories that I received from my friends. I really value relationship, and I always try to be kind and to be always there whenever I can. I also love talking to people I am close to and just have fun and be myself. I also think that prudence and teamwork suit me well. I am always careful, and I always make sure to contribute to the group because I do not like the feeling of doing nothing. My top 4 and 5 (appreciation of beauty and excellence and love of learning) are something that I am still working on, but I am proud to say that I am learning and trying little by little.

Like what was mentioned in the module, I personally find it difficult to recognize my strengths. Even if someone compliments me outright, I find it hard to believe. Answering tests like this once in a while helps me reflect on my actions and make me see myself in a good light.

It was surprising to know that Humility showed to be my number 1 strength when my family would always point out how prideful I am. Is it a valid reason to say that there might be differences as to how our own family sees us and others (like close friends) would? I've always liked being of service to everyone so I expected to see kindness to be my second one. I've always been a risk-taker—facing up things I knew I'd be very challenged when it comes to my decisions. My third and fourth strength definitely can explain this (perseverance and bravery). Lastly, social intelligence. I honestly am used to adjust myself with other people's situation and attitude.

All of these strengths are similar to the themes my friends shared with me. And I'm delighted to receive a validation of them through the test. :)

Since I have been quite pessimistic lately, I honestly did not expect my signature strengths. According to the survey results, my top 5 core personality traits are the following: (1) Love of Learning, (2) Hope, (3) Creativity, (4) Curiosity, and (5) Humility. I believe my friends would agree with these strength themes as they would often describe me as the aforementioned. The 5 strengths I have are also interconnected with one another, as they inevitable become nurtured and embodied when another strength is honed or developed. These results nuanced my perspective of my personal identity and now I am aware of what are the strengths that I actually possess.

# data[].attributes.body
I think my top 5 strengths are quite expected. What was more surprising was how the others ranked lower, especially on love. I think the fact that I'm not too bothered by it is a sign that it isn't within my top priorities. It shows which strengths can be improved upon though, and which among them are my best.

# data[].attributes.body
It's really surprising to know what kind of strengths you have based on other people, since for me, I tend to disregard or not value my strengths as much as I should be.

Apparently my top five strengths from the survey are Humility, Teamwork, Judgement, Kindness, and Fairness.

It's always nice having validation about the strengths that I have as a person since it's so easy to doubt myself and think "am I really this kind of person?" I think this lesson really helped me learn that it's alright to seek for validation sometimes just to help reassure ourselves of the good things that we have in our character.

I never tried taking tests to help me know what my strengths are, which is why discovering the results from the VIA test felt fulfilling.

I somehow misinterpreted some of the questions during my first attempt, so I got surprised with my results. However, taking it again made me humbly perceive myself more, as I saw five of my main strengths—honesty, kindness, love, spirituality, and fairness.

Seeing how honesty ranked first among my strengths somehow surprised me, and only then had I realized how my being open to others, even if it meant showing my vulnerability, is an act of honesty.

I was not surprised with my results since I recognize who I am and constantly ask other people what they think of me. But having love as my #1 strength makes me feel happy and validated. I am not amazing at many skills or any subjects. But I do know that I do my best to accept love and make other people feel that they are love. For me, love is a very, if not the most important part of human life. And being able to receive love and share love makes me happy.

This is what I envision when I think about my inner strengths, which are honesty, humor, love of learning, and bravery. I agree with the results, and I also believe my friends see these traits in me as well. I got honesty as my primary strength. I value honesty a lot, and I myself strive to be honest in everything I do. For me, honesty gives life clarity (as the picture suggests), and without it life can get blurry, claustrophobic, and chaotic. I also believe honesty is an important prerequisite to humor. People laugh at things because they represent something that is true.

# data[].attributes.body
My top 5 are creativity, perspective, honesty, kindness, and curiosity. I was honestly surprised with perspective and honesty being this high up in the top 2 and top 3, respectively. However, these two do make a lot of sense now that I reflected on them. Meanwhile, creativity, kindness and curiosity reaffirmed the strengths my close friends have also recognized in me.

The character strengths in the VIA survey somehow confirmed the common themes I found among my loved ones' responses. I was not conscious of them before but there was an internal "click" when I looked through them one by one, and that is perhaps an indication that I also felt that they were my strengths, in one way or another. It is incredibly validating. I don't think I've viewed myself with enough positivity before. Much of my self-conversations involve doubts and worries about these now-found strengths. It feels nice.

# data[].attributes.body
I honestly see these characteristics in myself. I am holistically content with how I am doing because I recognize that I am making an effort to improve on my lesser strengths. With regard to how my friends see me, it relatively aligns with the results that I got. They perceive me as someone that values relationships a lot, so these characteristics are definitely vital in maintaining the connections I have with others.

# data[].attributes.body
Seeing my results, I agree with my top 5 signature strengths, which made me glad because it meant that I knew myself, but on the other hand, I was also kinda expecting to see another underlying strength that I didn't know I had. Still, I do think that honesty is a strong strength of mine because it also meant having the courage to always be true and authentic. This also validates with how my parents see me as an honest person. I also agree with prudence and judgement as my other signature strengths because I always try my best to think very carefully when it comes to making decisions. With humor being my 3rd, I do believe this to be true because I like to incorporate this to lighten up to mood, especially during stressful days. As for my 5th, which is appreciation of beauty and excellence, I agree with this too, as I see the beauty even in the little things, from movies, looking outside my window to coffee!

# data[].attributes.body
I honestly am surprised to find out about my results. These top 5 strengths are what I expect myself to have and what people around me actually often say that I possess these. Knowing this, I kind of feel good as I am aware that I know myself and that I am aware of what other people think of me as. I believe these strengths are what keep me going despite difficulties in life and despite how harsh the world actually is.

# data[].attributes.body
With my results, I am quite please and I feel quite validated because these are the quality that I take pride in but are faced with self-doubt at times. These traits are also what my closest friends (people I can be vulnerable with) have repeatedly told me. These are also the characteristics which I love myself when I'm not too deep with self-loathing.

# data[].attributes.body
I'll be honest, my first reaction to this was to cringe. "Love?? What is this, a 1950s Disney animated film???" I think I reacted like that because I was thinking of the overused definition of 'love.' Romantic, the gesture of a kiss, cheesy, corny - that kind of love.

Then I listened to my friends. I've always taken friendships seriously. I knew, intimately, what it felt like to be alone for years at a time. Friendships, ones that last years, that are borne of experiencing fire together and coming through intact, they're not to be taken for granted and are altogether hard work.

So yeah. I guess, love - platonic, all-encompassing, with trust like a cracked jar fixed with gold - is quite the strength I've now learned to be proud to have.

Also humor. I'm quite pleased with that one.

# data[].attributes.body
While answering the test, I knew that the result will be accurate. The top five strengths that I have are forgiveness, honesty, love of learning, fairness, and humility. For me, in order to move on, we need to forgive someone who hurt us even if that causes a lot of damage to us. That is why I always forgive those who hurt me. However, I could not forget what they did. Therefore, I should be careful next time. I know it is hard to do that since I am also still having a hard time forgiving someone, but I know for myself that I can forgive him soon to let myself free from overthinking. Moreover, I know that I am an honest person since I cannot contain the conscience inside me when I first lied. Further, I will no longer justify the next three strengths because this will be too long to read, but I can guarantee that those strengths are accurate.

After getting my results, it was no surprise for me to find out that my number 1 strength is my love for learning. This may be cliche, but I am very "thirsty for knowledge" because I always strive to learn new things everyday. I like learning because it challenges me to become a better version of myself. By attaining new knowledge and skills, I become a more holistic or well-rounded person who is ready take on any challenge.

Aside from my love of learning, my other top strengths include leadership, curiosity, social intelligence, and kindness. These strengths are somehow an accurate portrayal of my character. It shows in my work as well as my interactions with other people. I think it is important to be mindful of our strengths so that we can learn how to leave an impact and work well with others.

# data[].attributes.body
It was actually interesting to go through the test because it really made me reflect on certain aspects of myself. I got kindness as my top character strength, followed by teamwork, perspective, honesty, and a love of learning. I think this is pretty accurate in the sense that while I may not be able to list these down as my strengths by myself, they make a lot of sense because of how important these characteristics are to me. I actually used to ask my friends randomly what they associate me with, and most of the time, I get yellow or sunshine, or anything sun-related; they see me as someone caring and positive. I guess it's because of the fact that I really care about the people around me, and I put a lot of emphasis on communication. I love working with other people, learning about just anything, and listening to different perspectives, which is maybe also the reason why my friends turn to me for advice or support. And while a lot of people associate me with the same characteristics I got in my results, I still tend to find it quite difficult sometimes to list down my strengths when needed. I don't know why, but I feel like I don't fully allow myself to believe I'm the person my friends think I am. I know I need to work more on this side of me and I sincerely appreciate my friends for thinking that way about me--I hope to fully see that version of myself, too.

# data[].attributes.body
I have always been regarded as someone who's kind because I tend to give everything that I can to help the people around me. When people ask me for something, I always have this thought of they need it more, more than I do that's why I always share when I have the capacity to do so. Aside from this, I also got perspective, judgment, leadership, and prudence. Knowing my five strengths was very interesting because the last four somehow showed that I really did develop some strengths when I became a student-leader.

# data[].attributes.body
Answering the test made me think of a lot of things and I was very conscious to answer properly so that the results I'd get would be as accurate as possible. It's interesting to see that my top strength is kindness. I've always thought that I'm more honest than anything, but honesty was actually my 6th strength. I consider myself a cautious, careful person who thinks a lot, maybe to the point of overthinking. My test results reflected that, to some degree. I also think I'm generally cooperative and agreeable, and teamwork is one of my strengths. I'm not sure if the results validated what I knew about myself, but it's nice to know that I'm actually strong or good at something.

# data[].attributes.body
I find that the results are pretty accurate and are very representative of my most noticeable traits. As a "leader," I try to be as good as I can in listening to my peers since teamwork plays a huge role in the success of the group. As for my other strengths, I find that these are what help me through tough times as well - especially humor. When the going gets tough, I would usually find ways to lighten up the mood so that I don't stress over everything and it has been my way to cope since I was a kid. It's important to be aware of my strengths so that I could use them especially when I'm facing difficult times.

# data[].attributes.body
After taking the test and seeing my five signature strengths, I can actually say that it's pretty accurate and sums up how I am as an individual. As a person, I consider myself to be conscious and honest in social situations. I am able to read people and situations easily as well as set clear boundaries or confront others if needed. I am also naturally a very hopeful and optimistic person despite going through many challenges, and I always ensure to spice up my life through adventures and experiences that are brought about by my curiosity. When I talked with my friends about it, they agreed with with the results and their feedback matched with how I see myself as well.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the five strengths I have, according to the test, are accurate. These are really things that I consider to be strengths, and I find that the actions I do on a daily basis somehow align to them. But I think it was more significant for me to know the strengths that I do not have. And I don't particularly feel bad about it, I really am aware of some skills I lack and I think that's okay.

# data[].attributes.body
For me to know my five strengths was challenging. I had to clear self-doubt and self-judgment from myself to become confident and identify my five inner strengths. When I talked with my friends about it, they all said mostly or relatively the same to what I had identified (most especially loyalty), and validated what I knew about myself.
