1. VIA Character Strengths Assessment
1.1. strengths
1.1.1. humor
1.1.1.1. I love to bring a smile to everyone's faces and this can be shown in my friendships. Mot of them consist of laughing and having fun!
1.1.2. judgment
1.1.2.1. I rely on facts and look at all sides of arguments. This especially helps me in debate because in order to have a solid argument, it cannot be refutable and attacks the other team.
1.1.3. teamwork
1.1.3.1. I am a loyal and dedicated teammate. This helps be in group projects as I am able to work diligently and efficiently.
1.1.4. appreciation of beauty
1.1.4.1. this helps me in classwork because whenever I understand a new concept, I appreciate the fact that it was challenging. Appreciation of beauty can fall under physical beauty, skills or morals.
1.1.5. creativity
1.1.5.1. creativity helps me in school because I am able to think of out of the box ideas.
1.2. challenges
1.2.1. fairness
1.2.1.1. sometimes I do let my personal feelings dictate my thoughts on people. This does not help me because sometimes I'm not so open minded when it comes to friendships.
1.2.2. zest
1.2.2.1. personally I am not that optimistic and rather realistic. This can be shown in Rowing when I am racing. If I know someone is a lot faster than me, I would not try as hard as I should to beat them. This does not help me in the long run.
1.2.3. honesty
1.2.3.1. apparently I'm not very down to earth and straightforward. I do not find this particularly true but I see how the test may have thought that. It may have been because of my judgment.
1.2.4. forgivness
1.2.4.1. according to the test I hold grudges and dont forgive people for their wrongdoings. I find this somewhat true and it does appear in my personal life.
1.2.5. self regulation
1.2.5.1. according to the test i am not very "in touch with my emotions". I normally do not notice this but I'd say this is particularly accurate with my friends.

1.3.1. factual evidence
1.3.2. innovative ideas
1.3.3. making people happy
2. Myers-Briggs Test
2.1. strengths
2.1.1. great analysis and abstract thinkers
2.1.1.1. this is really prevalent in my classwork as I always try to think outside of the box and come up with creative ideas that differ from my peers.
2.1.2. enthusiastic
2.1.2.1. I don't find this one of my strengths because a lot of the time I'm not motivated by work unless it is something I'm passionate about.
2.1.3. honest
2.2. challenges
2.2.1. private and withdrawn
2.2.1.1. I would not say that I am private and withdrawn as normally with my friends I prefer to be more open. I'd guess this makes sense when around strangers because I'm normally not so open but with my close friends I most definitely am not private.
2.2.2. insensitive
2.2.2.1. I do not think that I am insensitive rather I look realistically at situations. Some of my friends have told me that when they have an issue, I do not comfort them and rather give them the truth of what can be done.
2.2.3. second guess themselves
2.2.3.1. I would definitely say that I second guess myself. This could link to be being slightly pessimistic but I do think that this is a good thing. When second guessing yourself you can make sure that whatever you do or say is right in your mind. If I'm writing a test I would rather look it over and think to myself that something is not right than just thinking I did ok.

2.3.1. creativity
2.3.2. privacy
2.3.3. honesty
