Strength Finder disappointment


Every heard of Strength Finder? It's this cleaver little test that you take and according to the way you answer the questions, it determines your top 5 strengths. Very nifty little thing. I took it about 2 years ago, and was very pleased with my top strengths. I felt they represented me well: Empathy, Includer, Woo, Positivity, Developer. All of these things stand true to who I am... knowing these strengths helped me to understand so much about myself, and the way I work with others. So here I am, two years later, taking the a variation of this same quiz, and come to find out my strengths have changed. Now, I don't know if it's normal or not, but I'm kind of disappointed with my new strengths. Honestly, I don't feel like they make any sense! I don't even really know what to make of them... and why did my other strengths, my strengths that made SENSE, change? Tomorrow, at Life Group we're supposed to discuss our strengths... I think I might lie, and just tell them my old ones :) Is that so wrong?? My new ones are boring and kind of lame in comparison... Maybe I'll just retake the test and cheat...

GIRL. You know better than to say: "my new strengths are kinda boring and lame in comparison" - what is that???!?!?!?? If your old strengths include positivity and developer... what is positive or developing about that statement? Maybe your strenghts HAVE changed. HA HA HA HA!!! I'm sorry... I'm cracking myself up. One of my strengths is being direct. Can that be a strength?

I'm curious to know what you meant by "woo" as one of your "old" strengths.

LOVE YOU!!!

Yeah, i agree with Billy. You've gotta share them so we can judge them too. The ones from a couple years ago seem pretty right on but maybe the new ones will too - maybe you just have a TON of strengths! And you do - I see them displayed all the time :)

I hope you were encouraged last night by your new gifts--I can see how the Lord has strengthed you for the season you are currently in--take the test again in a year or two and it might surprise you yet again how they shift to fit life's changes. One way or another, I see all of your new strengths in you and the role you play in ministry, team and relationships--so great to see how the Lord made each of us to help further the kingdom. Have a great weekend and I'll see you Sunday!

Hmmm. Maybe you've just changed over the past couple years. That's not a bad thing! I think you're loveable and strong just the way you are...
