authentic happiness site

Go here: http://www.authentichappiness.org/perl/My_Home.pl

Really interesting free personality tests! I took the "Signature Strenghts Survey" and found out my top five character strengths (appreciation of beauty and excellence, curiosity about the world, gratitude, spirituality, and capacity to love and be loved). The data is collected anonymously for their ongoing research, and you get a profile of how you compare on these strengths with others in your demographic. Developed by Martin Seligman, past president of the American Psychological Association, who has been studying the psychology of happiness for many years now. The more you can recognize and use your signature strengths, the happier you can be. :)

Go, look, be memed! *g*

I took it, yeah. ::amused:: My top five are
Creativity, ingenuity and originality,
Love of learning,
Appreciation of beauty and excellence,
Fairness, equity and justice,
Capacity to love and be loved.

In that order. Interesting, that.

Bravery and valour
Capacity to love and be loved
Creativity, ingenuity, and originality

Even if I had to change the spelling on a couple of them. :)
