Signature Strengths

Every human being possesses each of the 24 character strengths. However, some strengths are more dominant than the others. These are called signature strengths. Positive Psychologists emphasize the development and use of one’s signature strengths. These are character strengths that an individual possesses, recognizes and uses frequently in various aspects of their life. Signature strengths are those that represent ‘the real you’, they bring with them a sense of authenticity. There are three key features that can help us recognize our signature strengths (Niemiec, 2018):
Essential– our signature strengths feel like an integral part of who we are. These strengths represent our positive traits. Others may use these to describe us.
Effortless – using our strengths feels natural and easy. Doing an activity that feels effortless and experiencing a sense of flow in the process indicates that we are using our strength.
Energizing – expressing signature strengths is invigorating and intrinsically motivating. You feel energized doing activities that put these strengths to use, and you look forward to engaging in such activities again.
