Top 5 Strengths Inventory

Surface the 5 strengths that consistently show up in your work so you can lead with them in resumes, LinkedIn, and interviews.

Gather your last two performance reviews, five recent project descriptions, and three pieces of unsolicited feedback from Slack, email, or LinkedIn. Lay these documents out digitally or on your desk so you can scan for recurring patterns and praise.

Read everything and highlight any phrase that describes how you work or what you delivered. Cluster the highlights into themes (e.g. "translates complex to simple," "ships under deadline pressure"). Name your top 5 themes in your own words. For each, write one sentence with a metric or outcome that proves it.

Strengths language should sound like a coworker describing you on a good day — concrete, not corporate.
