Task 2
A. Self-Reflection on CliftonStrengths
My top five strengths from the CliftonStrengths assessment were Empathy, Harmony,
Consistency, Developer, and Relator. After reading the descriptions, I felt they gave a
pretty accurate representation of how I see the world and interact with people.
Empathy and Harmony stood out the most. I’m usually aware of how others are feeling
and try to understand their perspective, even when I don’t agree with them. I don’t think
Harmony means I shy away from conflict altogether, it’s more about staying grounded
and open to different views without feeling defensive or needing to be right. I like when
people can express different ideas without it turning into a fight. But always keeping
your opinions and beliefs to yourself for the sake of avoiding friction goes against
human nature. The reflection illustrates me as a person who wouldn't believe this, which
caught my attention. Consistency shows how much I value fairness. I don’t like when
people get special treatment or when rules only apply to some. I believe everyone
deserves the same level of respect and opportunity. Developer made a lot of sense too.
I get real satisfaction from helping people grow, especially when I can offer
encouragement or guidance that helps them succeed. Relator also fits because I value
deep, meaningful relationships over surface-level ones. I care about trust, loyalty, and
real conversation.
