Do you have a list of your most admirable qualities? Our readers and clients do.
Lately, I’ve been obsessed with helping people ditch negative patterns and trust their intuition (research tells us it’s right 90% of the time). In my experience, a huge part of shifting your mindset in these areas is to lean on your character strengths.
Your character strengths identify areas where you effortlessly shine as a human being. Rooted in science, this model identifies 24 strengths grouped under six core virtues, providing a roadmap for personal growth and fulfillment. Developed through a three-year study involving 50+ researchers, this framework draws from philosophy, psychology, ethics, and theology to highlight the positive traits humanity values most.
We crunched the numbers from over 55 character strength profiles and found several trends worth sharing.
Understanding these strengths can help shape your thoughts, emotions, and actions, allowing you to thrive in meaningful ways.
I've been using the character strengths model for a few years: in my mindset coaching work, in my latest book called Amplify Your Intuition, and in the second workbook in my discovery trilogy: Clear, Uncover Your Character.
Knowing your top character strengths can be a game-changing way to uncover and leverage your most admirable qualities. There’s also research that connects usage of strengths with “flourishing,” or thriving in an optimal state of purpose and well-being.
Highly aware of character strengths = 9x more likely to flourish
High usage of character strengths = 18x more likely to flourish
Feeling appreciated for character strengths = 29x more likely to flourish
Here's a look inside the data.
Their Top 5 Strengths: Where Our Readers and Clients Innately Excel
Here's the ranked list of top character strengths from over 55 survey results:
1. Honesty (56% ranked in Top 5)
Truth-tellers unite! This group keeps it real, cutting through junk with raw authenticity.
2. Appreciation of Beauty (44% ranked in Top 5)
Awe-struck, present, and tuned into life’s magic, these folks find joy in a sunset, a song, or a perfect moment.
3. Love (37% ranked in Top 5)
Warm, connected, and all-in on relationships, these folks look to heart-to-heart bonds.
4. Love of Learning (37% ranked in Top 5)
Curious, deep-diving, and hungry for more, these folks chase knowledge like it’s a treasure map to the soul.
5. Humor (33% ranked in Top 5)
Seeing the good is their jam. This strength keeps them grounded, even when overthinking tries to creep in.
What’s the common thread? Curiosity and joy. This crew is a vibrant mosaic: honest, awe-inspired, and loving. They’re weaving lives rich with learning and laughter, true to their spark. Sound familiar? Take the quiz at and see how you match up.
Their Bottom 5 Strengths: Our Readers and Clients Aren't Interested
Now for the flip side, the strengths least likely to crack the top ranks for our list:
1. Perserverance (61% ranked in Bottom 5)
Flexibility guides their flow, not rigid determination. These are try-it, shift-quick types, exploring new horizons.
2. Self-Regulation (61% ranked in Bottom 5)
Discipline? Not their forte. They’d rather flow than force, valuing freedom over rigid control.
3. Zest (50% ranked in Bottom 5)
High-octane energy isn’t their default. They’re steady, reflective, not bouncing off the walls.
4. Teamwork (46% ranked in Bottom 5)
Independence shapes their stride. These are self-led, teams-not-preferred, thriving on their own terms.
3. Prudence (35% ranked in Bottom 5)
Cautious planning takes a backseat. These are leap-first, think-later types, making bold moves.
The takeaway? Our readers and clients aren't here for restraint or meaningless obligation. They’re free spirits chasing what lights them up, not what boxes them in. (Ahem, this works well with our optional companion practice of psychedelic integration coaching: less rules, more vibe.)
