We all possess the 24 Character Strengths detailed by Peterson and Seligman (2004) but at different levels and in different ways. This brief inventory is designed to help you begin exploring your character strengths.

Rate each of the 24 statements on the 10-point scale from “Less Like Me” to “More Like Me.” Be honest. You will rate some items on the lower end of the scale, some on the higher end, and some in the middle.

Your results will be computed as a rough estimate of how much this strength represents you. Your top strengths, regardless of the score, are those you saw as most like you. These are a snapshot of your likely signature strengths. Use your results as a guide or a starting place for exploring your strengths.
