Week 6 Reaction by KU

Last week, we had a guest speaker from leadership center talking about the StrengthsQuest test. We had several activities about our strengths. First we had a writing challenge. We tried not to use our dominated hands to write. It turned out the word I wrote is really awesome. It inspired me that if people forced to change their weakness into their strength, it would take so long and that is not recommendable. Instead I would rather spend time on develop our strength. By understanding this, I looked into my strengths resulted from the test. I found that one of my theme of is quite special, at least I didn’t see it on other’s report and that is Relator. “You want to understand their feelings, their goals, their fears, and their dreams; and you want them to understand yours. You know that this kind of closeness implies a certain amount of risk—you might be taken advantage of—but you are willing to accept that risk.” This is my favourite part in the report. I think it is quite true for me. I enjoy close relationships with others and I find deep satisfaction in working hard with friends to achieve a goal. This is what I have been trying to do.
