What are character strengths?
The VIA character strengths are defined as the best of who we are as humans, those parts of our personality that positively impact how we think, feel, and behave in our private life and at work.
The VIA Survey identifies our character strengths.
The VIA Inventory of Strengths, known as the " VIA Survey", is an assessment of our 24 positive personality traits. Its primary focus is to highlight what is "right" and "best" about people.
How does the VIA Survey work?
A psychometric tool, the VIA Survey measures and ranks the 24 character strengths from highest to lowest. It's available on-line as a free questionnaire.
The 24 character strengths are universal. Applying to everyone, there are many areas of opportunity for individuals, leaders, and organizations:
○ Engagement & Performance
The VIA Institute on Character is non-profit organization dedicated to bringing the science of character strengths to the world. For more information, visit www.viacharacter.org
Mindfulness-Based Strengths Practice (MBSP)
The VIA character strengths can be paired with mindful presence for an even richer and more sustainable experience. In the MBSP program, participants enhance their skills in awareness, strengths-spotting, strengths appreciation, positive reframing, situational strengths balance (optimal strengths use), and mindful pausing, listening, and speaking to name a few.
Top participant outcomes for the MBSP program include:
○ more positive relationships,
○ greater quality of presence,
○ deeper sense of appreciation,
○ better ability to handle adversity.
