What is Personality?

Personality is a natural way of thinking, feeling and behaving that makes each of us unique. Because personality is consistent, we tend to act the same way across a variety of situations which means we can explain and predict someone's behavior and characteristics. However, people are different and we can measure these differences with personality.

When it comes to success at work, there are certain aspects of personality that matter more than others - these are the aspects to focus on when it comes to our development.  

"What are the key ingredients of talent? Although there are millions of jobs, people who are smarter, more driven, curious and likeable will generally do better in any job."  

- Dr. Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic

Details on all 25 strengths

A detailed description of each strength can be found via this link.  You'll receive this same level of detail, only personalized for you, on your Wingfinder feedback report too. 

DRIVE measures your level of motivation, grit and ambition. An important part of job success is having the self-discipline to persist, that you strive to achieve your goals and that you have the confidence to deal with setbacks.  

6 different strengths are assessed here.

THINKING looks at your ability to reason abstractly and how you solve complex problems using spatial and numerical reasoning. How you take new information on-board and are how you’re able to solve problems with seemingly disconnected pieces of information is key to success in our complex world.

CREATIVITY measures how original and innovative or how logical analytical you are. This is key to success as it shows your willingness to learn, adapt, create alternatives and seek out novel information and challenging experiences.

6 different strengths are assessed here. 

CONNECTIONS measures how well you manage relationships and how well you manage yourself . Success is achieved through your intra-personal skills, (the ability to know, understand and manage your own emotions) and interpersonal skills, (how you relate and the way you communicate and interact with others).

TOP STRENGTH

These are your personality preferences, or 'strongest strengths’ and the areas that you're most likely to start and continue developing yourself.

YOUR STRENGTH

Your personality is going to determine what comes easy to you - your strengths. The idea is to focus on your strengths, what you are good at, and become even better in these areas. Ask yourself: What helps you perform at your best? (Strengths to leverage)

STRENGTHS OVERDONE

We need to be aware of when we're overusing our strengths to the point of weakness. Ask yourself: what limits your performance when you ‘overdue’ this strength? (Strengths to manage)    

SHORTCOMINGS

We need to be aware of the strengths we do not have. Ask yourself: what limits your performance as you don’t have this strength? (Shortcomings to develop)

INTERACTIONS

Consider the interactions between your different strengths and how they play out for you at work. You're not defined by one stand-alone strength but how they come together.

WINGFINDER SCALES

Each Wingfinder strength is shown with a scale.  Where you are on this scale indicates a probability of behaviour. 

The closer you are to either end of the scale (the extremes) the more likely it is you'll behave in this even across a variety of situations; it's like a reflex or working with your dominant hand.  Now, this doesn't mean that you can't or won't behave differently, it just might take some intention and deliberate practice. 

When you’re in the middle of the scale you can flex towards either behaviour without much effort either way.

TOP STRENGTH

Development takes time and effort so we're going to need to prioritize by asking ourselves some key questions:

"what excites me the most?"
"what am I trying to achieve professionally?" 

Our motivation and how we each go about achieving Development Goals is quite individual and determined by our personality.  Insight into our motivation and own personal approach can be found in our Wingfinder report Strengths Deep Dive and everywhere our DRIVE strengths are covered. 

To help with the second question you can always think about our company goals and your own Performance Goals and Responsibilities.  

SOME EXAMPLES INCLUDE: 

Those with Patient as a top Wingfinder strength will benefit by setting long-term goals while those with Achiever benefit from setting milestones to accomplish along the way.  If Modest is your top strength you'll want to challenge yourself by setting bigger, loftier Development Goals whereas if Confident is a strength, the accomplishment of your Development Goals matters most so make sure they're achievable.  Those with Relaxed as a top strength will benefit from talking about your goals with others to keep yourself accountable and those with Disciplined will benefit from adjusting their Development Goals as they progress.

STEP 1:

Turn 1-2 initiatives (the most exciting ones) from your SWOT into a personal Development Goal. Articulate your goal in a 'headline' so it's no more than one sentence. 

STEP 2:

Write a line or two to define success in relation to achieving your Development Goal. This helps ensure you know what success looks like when you get there.

Goto first page
So now you're clear on your Development Goal(s) and what success  looks like when you achieve them.  Awesome. This means we have just one last question to ask ourselves: 

"What do I need to do in order to achieve my development goal?" 

The best way to learn is to focus 70% of your time practicing the skill you want to develop, 20% getting feedback or learning from others and 10% reading or attending a workshop/course.

ACTION: note a few ideas on how you will develop yourself and achieve your development goal using 70/20/10 in the most effective way.
