Character Strengths and Virtues

 

 

Based on the concepts of Positive Psychology, Virtues are personal strengths that motivate individuals towards good behavior and action. Character strengths are pathways that lead to virtues; they are aspects we can work on, develop, and use effectively to overcome challenges faced. There are 24 character strengths and 6 virtues. Each of us possesses all of the character strengths, but not all strengths are present in the same "strength" in everyone. This is what differentiates our profiles.

To learn about your character strengths, you can review our brochures or, if you prefer, complete the scale provided below. You must register to view the scale.
