How To Determine Your Top 5 Strengths

Are you an achiever, an intellectual, a. futurist, a wooer? Let's talk about. that. Good mythical morning. Uh in this. revealing episode of Good Mythical. Morning, we are going to take you. through the results of our. StrengthFinder test. We along with our. team members competed completed this. We. competed in it, too. We completed this. test. It's like MyersBriggs for.

personality types, but it's more geared. toward coming up with your five top. strengths of which they've determined. 34. It's all designed so you know who. you are and how you function as a part. of a team cuz we got a team here and. then we got a twoman team right here. We. got to work together. Got to conquer the. world. The two of us, man. Conquer that. world. We got to look into the distance. Yeah. Look, we're over there. Yeah. We. got to make it there. Yeah. See, that's. pep talk. And plus, we just one of my. strengths. We just think it's fun to. analyze ourselves and other people we. work with and talk about these things.

So, we're going to share that with you. First of all, you have to take a 30inut. test with uh our friend Jason Jagard. He. he he he administered the test. This is. what he does. This is what he does for a. living with Spark Good. He kind of comes. and helps you and he came and put our. whole team through the paces. But the. questions are kind of interesting. You. have two choices on a spectrum. You mark. which one you favor, but they're not. opposites. For example, I want everyone. to like me. Huh? Or I want people to. adore me. Oh, sounds kind of like the. same question. I I guess I would put I.

would put it on the the the one closer. to I want everyone to like me, but not. all the way. I think I remember. answering this question and I put it. right in the middle because I was like, well, I kind of a little bit of both. I. don't know. Here's another one. Once I. have made a decision, I have to act. That's me. I'm I'm on the far left on. that. You're all the way. The other end. is I need to be sure I am right before I. take action. and that that was me. So, there's definitely some opposites now. Okay. So, what you do is you take this. test and then it automatically shoots.

out your top five strengths out of a. total of 34 different things. And then. you can um it's not like a machine that. like actually shoots. It's like a. scantron basically. It doesn't shoot. anything out. It all happens on the. internet. It's just text. And then it's. like, okay, this is the this these are. your top five. And it gives you a little. description of each and it's actually. based on your all your answers. So, what. we've done is we've gone through, we're. going to tell you what our top five are, and then we're going to read for each. other a couple of sentences of each one. of these things and see if you think it. describes you and I'll see if it.

describes me. And I will say in Good. Mythical Gammora, if you want to click. through to that, we'll go through more. sample questions and like it can be kind. of like a game, which is also fun. Oh, it's a game. Do you want to start give. one of my top five? I gave you my list. You read about it. I'll do the same for. you. Link, you're an achiever, buddy. An. achiever. You feel as if every day starts at zero. By the end of the day, you must achieve. something tangible in order to feel good. about yourself. You have an in I almost.

said an internet fire. But no, you have. an internal fire burning inside you. But. you must learn to live with this whisper. of discontent. It is the power supply. that keeps you moving. I must learn to. live with its whisper of discontent. Hey, you have a whisper of discontent. That's why I always whisper to you to. try to speak to your heart. Yeah. I. could always describe it even more. Yes. I I de I've never put it that way, but I. do feel like at the end of the day, I do. literally think back on that day and and.

I find something to hold on to. I did. this today. I feel good. But then you. whisper to yourself and then I whisper. But tomorrow I'll get more done. Tomorrow it starts off because I'm so. discontented. Clean slate. Okay. Your. your top one is futuristic. Who? Rhett. Your vision opens people's minds to new. and wondrous possibilities. You. challenge them to consider ideas they. might not have thought of on their own. Would you say that's true about you? Absolutely. I mean, in the simplest.

version of this, you're obsessed with. the future. Yeah, I am the obsessed with. the future. Sometimes I wear a go like a. silver jacket and talk about the future. You have been known to have done that in. the past until I until you stop. I I in. in some of the other things it talks. about is constantly obsessing about the. future. Like you can't enjoy the present. because you're thinking about the future. and then you're anticipating. anticipating and then when you start. experiencing the thing that you were. anticipating, you immediately begin. anticipating the next thing. That's. another future. That is my life. And I.

and I'm just like is is this could I be. achieving more right now? Is this good. enough? And you're also a focuser or you. have focus. Your focus is powerful, Link, because it forces you to filter. You instinctively evaluate whether or. not a particular action will help you. move toward your goal. Those that don't. are ignored. What is this? Why you ignore me. sometimes? See, I just did it. It was. You fell right in. You think you You. think I'm I'm not worth your focus. Um I.

I just appreciate I'm very focused. I. appreciate the fact they present it as a. strength because I think the way that. I've always thought of it is a weakness. that like I can only do one thing at. once and I have to devote everything to. it like be really well focused. Yeah. Well, and so I certainly toss other. things to the wayside like when you. speak to me. Yeah. This is why it. actually wasn't doing something. No, it. was very helpful to I knew this about. you already but to see it in print to. know that this is why he never listens.

to me. Now I understand. Well, there's. other reasons I don't listen to you, but. we shouldn't get into that. This is why. he doesn't listen to my ideas about the. future. Red, you are competitive. In. certain cases, you observe people to. better understand them. Perhaps this. gives you the advantage you need to. outperform or outscore them. Perhaps. uh perhaps that is true. I'm constantly. sizing you up. It's not between the two. of us. I think when it comes to like. scoring anything or something that can. be scored, you'd prefer to score it. And. I I hate that. Not about you. I would.

just hate that for myself. I don't have. a competitive bone in my body. Okay, here here's another one. We'll get to. all five. I don't want to go through all. all five of each one of us in this. because I want to talk about how Jason. gave his professional opinion about how. we work together. So, I'm going to pick. one more for you. Okay. And that is um. individualization. Well, read them all, but then camp out on that one. Analytical, maximizer, and then. individualization. Okay. You. instinctively observe each person's. style, each person's motivation, how.

each thinks, and how each builds. relationship. This theme explains why. you picked your friends just the right. birthday gift. What? Yeah. You got me a a Rocky five tape one. year and then after that it was nothing. And that's cuz I got you the Rocky five. tape. I explain this to I think they're. missing that one a little bit. I mean, I. don't I just don't I don't give gifts. That's not my strength. They you know. well it can't you know it's not it's not. omnisient. Now your other ones are your.

activator ideiation and command just to. read ideiation your reputation for. innovation think and innovative your. reputation for innovative thinking. partially explains why groups attempt to. recruit you. This explains why I get. recruited by groups all the time like. what like scientologist. Oh I'm being. constantly recruited. You should see my. inbox. the groups that recruit me, just. one group after another. I mean, I. always say no. Well, that Cllingon group. because I'm like, I'm kind of in a.

group. I hang out with this guy and we. do stuff together and we have a website. Uh, okay. So, one thing to know, there. is no overlap. Not one in our top. between our strengths. So, um, and I and. I just see what Jason I asked Jason. Jagard at Spark Good, who by the way, he. can do this for your company. Just go to. his website and then he can, uh, come to. your company and it's incredible. Uh, I. said, "Jason, based on your professional. opinion of what you see in my five. strengths and Link's five strengths, what do you think are some ways that we.

would have some conflict or ways that we. could work together?" This is what he. says. Rhett will be more likely to push. something ahead that an idea is good. enough and Link is going to always want. to make it the best idea possible, which. moves things forward more slowly. I think we can relate to that. Yeah, that's true. You both achieve excellence. differently. Red does it through burst. of action and creativity, like a rocket. ship taking off. Link does it through. meticulous inspection and refinement, like polishing an exotic sports car. So, I need to buy an exotic sports car, and.

you need to buy a rocket. That's. probably not the application. It can. feel like Link is getting in the way of. an idea moving forward, and to him, it. can feel like you don't want this to be. as good as it could be. Don't you want. this to be as good as it can be? The. thing is, you're both right. We're both. needed to make truly excellent ideas. Link, we're both right. We can't make it. on our own. Let's shake hands. We really. gota we got to overcome our differences. because those are those are strengths. that combined force for good together. Force for good. Fist bump. Bam.

Explosion like a rocket ship in a sports. car. You should get a sports car and you. should wax it. That would help you. Feel. free to leave a comment on how we can. achieve synergy and uh or just like the. video to show your support of our. strengths. And you can like and comment. on this episode.
