My top five strengths are according to strengthsquest.com:
“Adaptability
People strong in the Adaptability theme prefer to "go with the flow." They tend to be "now" people who take things as they come and discover the future one day at a time.
Communication
People strong in the Communication theme generally find it easy to put their thoughts into words. They are good conversationalists and presenters.
Strategic
People strong in the Strategic theme create alternative ways to proceed. Faced with any given scenario, they can quickly spot the relevant patterns and issues.
Positivity
People strong in the Positivity theme have an enthusiasm that is contagious. They are upbeat and can get others excited about what they are going to do.
Woo
People strong in the Woo theme love the challenge of meeting new people and winning them over. They derive satisfaction from breaking the ice and making a connection with another person.”
As I examine each of these strengths, I can see how they apply to my life and to my personality.
Adaptability has enabled me to be relaxed in my life style. To take things as they come and live a generally carefree lifestyle. It has allowed me to take one task at a time while also being able to take a break and have some fun.
The strength of communication has given me the gift of conversing with others. It has blessed me in my ability to explain myself well in confrontations. It has also allowed me to feel comfortable in presentations. It has helped me to journal and write my thoughts as a form of processing events and information.
Being strategic has helped me when I get into a jam or have a project. I often have a vision, but not a way of best accomplishing that vision. This strength has granted me the opportunity to best tackle and complete my dream.
Having the strength of positivity has blessed me immensely. My parents always taught me to see the glass as half-full. I am an outgoing person and I love to get others excited about my passions and goals.
Woo is a huge part of my personality. I greatly enjoy getting to know people and understand where they have come from. I love sparking up conversation with strangers and break the ice to make a bond.
All of these strengths make up who I am, my personality, and…
This is me ☺

WHAT A FANTASTIC TEST. I THINK THESE RESULTS ARE REALLY YOU!I SEE HOW THE ADAPTABILITY AND STATEGIC ASPECTS OF YOUR PERSONALITY WILL BENEFIT YOU GREATLY.
THE WOO THEME IS A NEW TERM TO ME BUT I'D SAY YOU HAVE AN HONEST COMCERN FOR THE PEOPLE YOU CONNECT WITH AND DON'T ENGAGE PRIMARILY TO "WIN THEM OVER". YOU'RE A NATURAL COMMUNICATOR WITH AN UPBEAT LOOK ON LIFE. PRAISE GOD FOR BLESSING YOU WITH SO MANY FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT TOO! mom
In the face of adversity, you stand strong. While some crumble under pressure or succumb to the will of others, you hold your ground. Few people can be thrown through so many situations and land on their feet as you do. You manage to prioritize your endeavors and get them done in an orderly fashion. At the same time, you have a clear order of values. This is refreshing when so much of society seems to be indoctrinated with wishy-washy behavior. You know when a situation demands immediate attention and you are loving enough to make sacrificies in certain areas of life to secure the things you hold dearest. While you speak of being a woman, which you undoubtedly are, you are also a child at heart. You still have that deep, kind, pure faith in God characteristic of children that the Bible calls us to imitate.
I think a big part of life is figuring out the things that you can't live without and then spending the rest of your life pursuing those things. Jaclyn Houston, you are well on your way! I love you and miss you jax. -ash
PS: You are so much stronger than any survey can give you credit for.
Couldn't have said it any better. You are so positive Jaclyn. That is one major reason I am attracted to you and in love with you. You are so upbeat and optimistic that it infects everyone you encounter. God has given you an oppurtunity to have an effect on many people because of these strengths. Love ya!
Jaclyn
excellent description of yourself!
Yo are such an upbeat positve person who is comfortable to converse with older adults and still have that kid at heart spirit. You are very charismatic and you make people feel comfortable around you. Great Job!!
Dad
wow you.. positive?? Never! haha just kidding! this is such an accurate test it really amazes me. You are such a beautifully positive person and I am so blessed to have you in my alpha!
Jaclyn! It really is a blessing that we were in the same alpha group. I really do see all of these qualities in you. You have the personality that people are just attracted to. No wonder you got LAC! It's really good that you have positivity and communication together because what you have to say is usually encouraging (I love the talks after class). Adaptability and Strategic also go well hand in hand. I think that you are going to have great leadership opportunities where you are going to be able to work with what you are given and it will turn out to be fantastic. Of course you are also a people person, I think you have pretty much won your whole hall (and the alpha group) over? That is also a strength that greatly describes you. I feel like we've known each other for a long time yet we've only known each other for a few weeks. God bless!
Jaclyn Love. You are a leader. I have been struck with that impression of you so many times and on so many different occassions. All of the strengths that make up who you are add to the centrality of your leadership skills and it is so easy to see that you are a person who was born to lead. I admire your people skills way too much and also your ability to listen and give amazing advice. You are a blessing to be around and so easy to talk to and hang out with (but I think this also has to do with the incredible compatibility of our personalities).
You are full of wisdom and full of a desire to help people, even as you are leading them in any situation. And I love you :)

So, so far i have noticed that you do like to go with the flow. I love that you have communication because it fits you so well, its one of your greatest qualities. I have seen how strategic would work for you a little, but probably not as much as you would need for it to be one of your top 3 strengths. You definitly fit with positivity because everytime i see you you have a smile on your face and you are always ready to laugh. Woo is also one of the strengths i have seen in you, i think you are really good at making friends. So basically these all fit you! :)
Hey there Jacky, once again I think your strenghts fit you perfectly. I remember when I first met you your strenghts for communication and woo were definitly noticeable. Your were easy to talk to and get along with and seemed as though you already had the college life down(adaptability). Your positivity is amazing, even when your faced with tough, somewhat depressing situations you find a way to look at the brightside of things and figure out how god wants to use you. Good luck with the rest of the year and itll be great to see how you grow in all five of your main strenghts.
....and this is why we are friends:)
Positivity and woo. I have seen this through you although I really dont know you. You are always happy and smiling and you try to become friends with us and become close to the group.
Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo
I wrote you a poem
I like you.
When do I get to see you?
Roses are Red
My shirt is blue.
The End.
You can hold your applause until later. Welcome to the blogging world.....Thank you for your reflections and I really do hope to see you sometime soon when I pass through the Los Angeles slash Azusa Pacific region...
