When designing the central Strengthscope® model, the design team at Strengthscope drew on a wide range of research in the fields of personality, ability, positive psychology and strengths. We drilled down to identify the essence of strengths at work; finally selecting 24 strengths which we felt best captured performance-critical strengths in the workplace.
These strengths are broken down into four ‘clusters’ of strengths, as follows:
Emotional: these strengths relate to how you manage and express your emotions in relation to circumstances and people around you.
Relational: these strengths relate to establishing and maintaining productive relations with others.
Thinking: these strengths relate to the areas in which you prefer to apply your intellect, as well as how you go about gathering and using information to make decisions at work.
Execution: these strengths relate to delivering results, in terms of content and delivery.
