You may have considerable practice with this interview question, either as an interviewer or interviewee. There are numerous websites that offer insight as to the best way to respond to this question and just as many websites encouraging interviewers to remove this question from their repertoire. Despite its use in hiring, understanding personal strengths and capitalizing on them is a predictor of success (Shaff & Hoyt, 2017). Marilyn Vos Savant once offered the following wisdom to the parents of a 14-year-old boy who struggled with math: “If I were you, I’d forget about the math and concentrate on what your son can do well. Success is achieved by development of our strengths, not by elimination of our weaknesses” (Savant, 2014). Understanding strengths provides professionals an opportunity to clarify their goals, proactively identify how to spend their time and effort, and may help to enhance the ability to work with others (Shaff & Hoyt, 2017). As part of this Week’s Assignment, you will complete Gallup’s StrengthsFinder assessment. The StrengthsFinder assessment will identify your personal strengths, which have been shown to improve motivation, engagement, and academic self-confidence. Through this assessment, you will discover your top five themes, which you can reflect upon and use to leverage your talents for optimal success. After you take the assessment, you will apply the results to your potential future profession and to your doctoral study in a written assignment. You will also describe how you already use the strengths in your professional life. References Shaff, C., & Hoyt, E. (2017). The CliftonStrengths: Focusing on strengths as a predictor of success.
