My Strengths in Academics

Competition: Measures progress

• You measure yourself against a standard or others to excel. Life is a competition.
• As a student with Competition, establish clear goals and challenge yourself to outperform or “win” by besting these goals.

Connectedness: Sees all of life as connected

• With Connectedness, you possess a distinct belief that all things are linked in a meaningful way, which forms your value system.
• As a student, build bridges among different people and groups and try to connect ideas.

Consistency: Treats people the same

• Your Consistency strength drives you to pursue fairness and develop personal rules to treat others equally.
• In the classroom, seek concrete instructions, rather than abstract, to appeal to pragmatism and rule-orientation.

Context: Thinks about the past

• With Context as a strength, you appreciate understanding the historical context of a particular issue to plan for the future.
• Take time to ask for the background to an assignment so you can collect relevant information.
