Techniques for Identifying your Strengths and Weaknesses
Identifying your strengths and weaknesses involves self-reflection and assessment. Here are some techniques
to help you develop a clearer understanding of your strengths—what you excel at and enjoy, and your
weaknesses—areas where you can grow and improve:
Self-reflection: Write down experiences where you felt confident and successful (strengths) or encountered
challenges (weaknesses).
Performance Reviews: Review past evaluations and achievements.
Feedback from Others: Talk to people you trust, like friends, family, or teachers. Ask them what they think
you’re good at and where they think you could do better.
Trying New Things: Explore different activities or hobbies to see what you enjoy and where you excel.
Sometimes, trying different things helps you discover talents or interests, you didn’t know you had.
Observation: Notice when you feel confident and when you feel unsure. This can give you clues about
your strengths and areas where you might want to improve.
Assessments and Tests: Take quizzes or tests that tell you more about yourself. These tests can show your
personality traits and skills.
Setting Goals: Decide on small goals for yourself and track your progress. This can help you see where you
succeed easily and where you might need more practise.
Finding Strengths
Discovering your strengths is key to unlocking your full potential. Following are the ways you can identify
what you excel at:
Consider activities or tasks where you consistently achieve good results. These are often indicators of your
strengths.
Pay attention to what others admire or praise about you. Their observations can reveal strengths you may
not have noticed.
Take time to reflect on activities that come naturally to you or that you enjoy doing.
Embrace new opportunities and challenges, to discover skills or qualities you excel in.
