Earlier this semester at Agnes Scott College I completed the Gallup Strengths Assessment. The purpose of this assessment was to find my five strongest social talents through the questions that were provided. Shortly after taking the assessment, I found out my five strengths. My five strengths were focus, achiever, discipline, futuristic and input. Focus centers on goal making. Achiever focuses on goal reaching. Discipline is shaped around routine. Futuristic revolves around inspiration. Input questions everything.
After looking at these different goals with a critical eye I realized which one strength people would like to see the most out of me. People like to have input so they can build upon new ideas.
Curiosity drives me as a biologist. Performing studies around nature and collecting objects of interest comes naturally for me. As a scientist who aspires to work with other scientists I feel this inquisitive trait of input would be the most important in my chosen field of study. The field of biology is making new advancements everyday. By utilizing creative input I can help my teammates find out information about a problem and explore new ideas that were not previously thought of in the scientific discipline of biology.
