My first strength I tested was "industry, diligence, and perseverance." This is described as follows: You work hard to finish what you start. No matter the project, you "get it out the door" in timely fashion. You do not get distracted when you work, and you take satisfaction in completing tasks.

Today I used this strength to basically get everything done! I am a big "list" person. My favorite part is crossing things off of my list! So last night I wrote up a quick list of things that I wanted to get done today. It involved things such as cleaning certain things, wrapping up the little homework that I had for today, and doing some laundry. In fact, the last thing on my list is to complete my blog for the day.

Before I tell you how I scored this activity I will tell you about my "scale". While not very scientific, my scale is pretty straight forward. It is a scale from 1 to 10. One being the most negative...and ten being the most positive. I will rate pleasure:how much fun it was, flow: how imersed I was in it, and meaning: did it feel good to me.

So the activity: taking care of my list no matter what got in the way.
Pleasure: 8; it really was fun to me. I'm sure a lot of people would ask why cleaning and doing homework would be fun to someone. But to me, they are.
Flow: 9; when I get into cleaning and getting things done I just get imersed in it. All I can think about it getting my list completed and how good it is going to feel when it is done.
Meaning: 7; it felt really good to be completely done. I felt like I had accomplished something and was ahead of the game. Yet, I still realized that I would have another list tomorrow...

Debriefing:
I would definately want to do this again. I pretty much do it everday anyway. It really works with my personality and makes me feel pretty good!
