I am taking a free course from Yale University entitled,
The Science of Well-Being. One of my
assignments was to take a test called the VIA Character Survey that was scientifically
designed to measure 24 different character strengths in people. The 24 characteristics are:
Appreciation
of Beauty Kindness
Bravery Leadership
Curiosity Love
Fairness Love
of Learning
Forgiveness Perseverance
Gratitude Perspective
Honesty Prudence
Hope Self-Regulation
Humility Spirituality
Humor Teamwork
Judgment Zest
Over 7 million people world-wide have taken the
survey. It is free, and very easy to do. You answer each question as honestly as you
can. The end results may surprise you – it certainly
did me! If you would like to take the
survey, go to viacharacter.org and click on the Take the Free Survey
link.
PS: Do not
confuse this with the Spiritual Gifts Survey, which is completely
different. Will talk about that
tomorrow.
