091021: Character Strengths & Gmail Response II

Character Strengths

Scientists discovered a common language of 24 character strengths make up what’s best about our personality. Everyone possesses all 24 character strengths in different degrees, so each person has a truly unique character strengths profile. Each character strength falls under one of these six broad virtue categories, which are universal across cultures and nations. STEP 1: Watch "The Science of Character (8min 'Cloud Film')" on Youtube (See Link Below)

GMAIL RESPONSE II: (❗️) Before you take the Personality Test below, open a Gmail to Mr. S (harvey.scribner@techfreire.org) and write a few sentences about what strengths you think you have, and what you like about those strengths. How are you a better person because of the strengths you possess? Make sure to write 2-3 sentences in the email and click send to turn this in before proceeding.

STEP 2: Click the "Personality Test, Personality Assess.ent: VIA Survey / VIA Institute" Link and fill in the information to take the 13-17 Youth Survey. Have a Parent/Guardian/Adult with you when you take it. Take your time and answer ALL the questions. When you are done, Read and Record your results. You should have a list of the 24 Characteristics in the order from Strongest to Needs Most Improvement. You will be able to click "VIA Character Strengths Profile" and Download a copy for free. This will have all 24 strengths, and a definition of each strength listed for you. If you open it in another window adding these results to the Document we created earlier this week will be easy! STEP 3: Open the Document we started earlier this week ((❗️) DL Personal Inventory Survey Results Worksheet) and Locate the section to enter your Character Strength Scores. List them in order from Strongest to Needs Improvement on the worksheet. Make sure you SHARE this Document with Mr. S for credit. Make sure to complete the Daily Check-In Survey as you come in the room each day using the Code Word from the LIVE Class Presentation using the link below.
