A few months ago a very good friend of mine bought me a book entitled Now, Discover Your Strengths by Marcus Buckingham and Donald O. Clifton. This book allows one to undertake an online test to find out what one's strengths are.

It turns out mine are:

• Focus
• Competition
• Strategic
• Learner
• Relator

My strengths are: Empathy Developer Arranger Responsibility Restoratie

Quite different from yours! But can see exactly why you have the ones you have!

My strengths are:

Empathy Harmony Connectedness Developer Learner

I like your strengths by the way. I can see them very clearly in you (especially when playing badminton! ;) Being sensible now though I think you are an excellent relator - perhaps you could give me a few hints on how to talk to people at parties?
