The Clifton Strengths survey accurately defined me to the tee. It is actually pretty scary how accurately is depicts me through my strengths.

I do agree with the ones that were assigned to me. The strength I view that represents me the most accurately is achiever. I stride to keep myself busy and productive. Actually I don’t strive,
