Empathy
I think that empathy is a good strength for me. My friends always come to me with problems and they know that when they talk to me about something confidential that it will stay confidential. They also know that I don’t judge them and they know that I disapprove with some of the stuff that they have done but they also know that I won’t give them crap about what hey do and that they can come and just vent. I also put my self in other shoes and really feel how they feel and wonder what I would have done if I was in that situations. I get emotionally involved whether it is my friends lives or that of a fictional character.
Harmony
I really don’t like fighting and I don’t believe that fighting is the answer to our problems. I believe that there is always a way to sort out conflict with words. I also don’t really like it when people argue over petty stuff just to sound smart or to show that they are right and you are wrong. I hold my peace when possible and with avoid and argument if at all possible.
Adaptability
I am a very flexible person who lives day-to-day. There are certain things that I would like to do in the future like get married, but that is in the future and I have to live for what is happening tomorrow or else small things won’t get done. I like sudden request, they keep me busy and on my toes. Living day to day helps you enjoy the little stuff that comes your way.
Developer
I like to help people when they need help. It is as simple as that. If they need help reaching a goal, I am there and I will support them. I will give them my opinion and then let them take control, but I enjoy watching them succeed.
Positivity
I am a very lighthearted person with a ton of energy. I always have a smile on my face. I give people encouragement when they do a good job (or not so good job) and when they are in the dumps. I like to find the good in others and see the glass as half full, although, oftentimes I see the glass as half empty for myself. I try to enjoy life to its fullest and have fun at whatever I am doing, I believe that you can make any situation and work fun, who wants to be bored at work or not enjoy life. I love to laugh and I usually make others laugh although most of the time that is unintentional.
Please tell me if you agree (or disagree) with these results!!!

i agree with bries 5 strengths. that is what most of her friends and family hold her accountable for.
I agree with all of them especially number 5. Brie is ALWAYS smiling
hmmm... lets see.... lets just test to make sure i can figure out this comment thingy
okay.. now that i know that works, lets talk about brie. I am her best friend, so I suppose you could say that I have a slightly different perspective of her. I definitely agree with the empathy point. I have had to confide a lot of my problems/dilemmas with her, you know, the high school dramas that are still plaguing me! Brie has always been a great friend and always been extremely understanding and empathetic. Harmony....well...I guess being the best friend gives me somewhat of a bias. We have our fights! We had s super huge one just a few months ago actually, and we are having little side arguments all the time. She isn't like this with other friends, though, just those close to her. So, I guess I agree to and extent with her harmony description. Adaptability is fairly accurate. It is true that Brie cheese loves the spontaneous, going out on a whim to see a movie or get dinner. But, to a certain extent, she does have plans for herself. She isn't completely myopic, she does look into the future and tailor her life after that view of the future. She may live in the moment at times, but she is not stupid about it. Developer is 100% true. If there was ever a person I knew that was willing to help out, it's Brie. Even when it comes to little things. She would actually bring me food after school or after a cross country meet! She would accompany me to meetings and support me in all of my endeavours while putting her own agenda aside. That is the mark of a true friend. I could never have asked for anything more. Again, my best friend status changes my view of positivity. Don't get me wrong, Brie is one of the happiest people I know, but when you really get to know her, she begins to let her guard down and you can see that there really are things that tick her off and that she is not always brimming with joy. Most of the time she is, but there are definitely hard times that she faces that get her down. She is a trooper, though, and I am always super confident that whenever a problem arises that she will conquer it. She always keeps in mind that she has the most important thing of all, faith in Christ. It is this faith that gives her that cheery persona that everyone knows as Brie. All in all, I pretty much agree with her 5 strengths. Brie is an amazing person! Once you get to really know her, you find out how truly amazing she is. You will never find anyone was caring, helpful, and supportive as her. For any guys that read this, Brie would make an amazing girlfriend. Take it from a guy's point of view, she is pretty awesome, by far one of the sweetest girls ever!
okay, i was being totally serious about this girlfriend thing. I mean, sweet is not a good enough word to describe her. I mean, there are seriously so many amazing qualities about her that I would fill up book. So guys, ask her out. Believe me, you'll be happy! :)
I am Brie's mom and I agree with Brie on her 5 strengths. On the empathy point I have always admired how trustworthy she is when sharing problems with her that she will keep them confidential and not be judgmental. She does get emotionally involved sometimes so much so that she gets completely depressed. With the harmony point I also agree. She really does hate fighting and will avoid it all costs. When confronted with it she is very quick at forgiving and getting over it and having things go back to happy and normal. It would be a good thing if more people could be like that. On adaptability I agree with her also. She is very versatile per any situation. She loves to do things spontaneously but she also loves to plan things. She can change plans on short notice and not be bothered by it. I agree with her on the developer point. She loves helping people in any situation. I believe she offers great support to any one she is involved with. She volunteers her time and resources whenever it is needed even if it means giving up something else she wanted or other plans that she had. On the positivity point I don't think you could come up with anyone with a more positive attitude. She always, and I mean always, has a beautiful bright smile on her face and has a way of lighting up a room when she walks in. She always sees the good in others and always is full of encouragement. The one drawback that she does have is that she is so critical of herself and feels that she is not worthy when nothing could be farther than the truth. She has a tendency to make any job or chore fun and enjoys life to the fullest. I am her mom and I admit I might be prejudiced but as person Brie is truly exceptional. She is a bright spot in many peoples lives, mine included. By the way, I very much agree with Tyler's comments.
I wish I had adaptibility. That is an amazing trait. You do have a certain positivity that is really contageous! Thanks for sharing yourself with us!
i havent known you for very long but these strengths seem to describe you! they are all so full of compassion and feelings for others...thats awesome.
I love when people are positive and live life joyfully! You have a good heart and take the time to invest in other peoples' lives. I hope that with your gifts you will continue to bless others and in so doing bring glory to God.
So I'm with you on the "getting emotionally involved" comment from your mom. That is something that I have had to work on and figure out how to steer it toward using it to kind of help others...if that makes any sense at all. I love all the comments you've gotten too. They were fun to read!
I love that you have empathy and harmony and positivity. It seems like these are your strengths as far as I can tell. Use them wisely.
Julie
I totally know what you mean by adaptability. That is a good quality to have so you can just go with the flow and not be stressed all the time.
It makes sense that you're a developer and a positive person... the strengths test works after all! I think we all serve a purpose and I hope you grow in all your great strengths and use it for your purpose.
