What Is Positivity?
People with strong Positivity talents are generous with praise, quick to smile and always on the lookout for the upside of
the situation. They always seem to find a way to lighten the spirits of those around them. They are optimistic, hopeful and
fun-loving. They celebrate every achievement. They find ways to make everything more exciting and dynamic.

Chances are good that you may feel good about yourself and life in general when you keep the promises you

Driven by your talents, you might feel best about life when people accept your bold, assertive, and self-reliant
style. Perhaps you are even a little more optimistic when the same individuals permit you to make your own
choices.
Instinctively, you might appear enthusiastic about your life. Some people find your energy contagious.
Periodically you ask, “What is there not to like about life?” Perhaps you are puzzled by people who see life as
a struggle and seldom experience its joys.
It’s very likely that you sometimes recognize people’s progress and acknowledge their accomplishments.
Your affirmations may free some individuals to enjoy their moments of excellence. You might comment on
their less noticeable victories as well. Why? You might appreciate the importance different people attach to
these types of milestones.
By nature, you sometimes seek the approval of certain people. You may hope they even welcome you into
their lives. Maybe you want them to admit you into their circles of friends, family, acquaintances, or
associates. Perhaps you adopt a more upbeat outlook on life when you feel a sense of belonging.

and so do you.
Make sure your praise and positivity are genuine. Some people are used to hearing the
negatives, so make sure your praise and positivity are authentic. But keep repeating the
positives to let these people trust you will always point out the upside.

2. Woo
®
What Is Woo?
Woo stands for “winning others over.” People with strong Woo talents enjoy the challenge of encountering new people
and gaining their esteem. They are drawn to meeting new people. They want to learn others’ names, ask them questions
and find common interests on which to build rapport. People with Woo among their top themes can enter a crowd and
easily know what to do and say. Some people shy away from starting up conversations because they worry about
running out of things to say. People with a lot of Woo do not. They see no strangers — only friends they haven’t met yet.

By nature, you often declare, “Life is good!” You probably say this when you know you have been accepted
into a group by all its members. You generally gravitate to team-oriented projects, sports, assignments, or
contests.
It’s very likely that you are guileless — that is, candid and frank — about what you think and feel. With ease,
you reveal many details regarding your past, your present circumstances, and your future prospects. Many
individuals appreciate your plainspoken and open style. You spend little, if any, time pretending you can do or
be something you know you cannot. You often win lots of new friends by being completely open about
yourself.
Driven by your talents, you are honest with yourself about yourself. You can admit your shortcomings. You
speak frankly about the areas where you need to do things better and more completely than you have done
them in the past.
Instinctively, you certainly exhibit the behavior of an extrovert. Your sociable nature impels you to exert
whatever effort is required to get every person you meet to like you.

ability to build a rapport with others, making them feel comfortable and more talkative.

®
What Is Adaptability?
People with strong Adaptability talents live in the moment. They don’t see the future as a fixed destination. Instead, they
see it as a place that they can create out of the choices they make right now. They discover their future one choice at a
time. This doesn’t mean that they don’t have plans. But their Adaptability talents enable them to respond willingly to the
demands of the moment, even if circumstances pull them away from their plans. They don’t resent sudden requests or
unforeseen detours. They expect them. On some level, they may look forward to them. They are, at heart, very flexible,
and they can stay productive when circumstances pull them in many different directions at once.
Why Your Adaptability Is Unique
These Strengths Insights are personalized based on your CliftonStrengths results.
Positivity
Woo
Adaptability
Arranger
Includer
Chances are good that you avoid individuals who work non-stop, never taking a break. You refuse to rush
headlong from one activity to the next. You are quite comfortable dealing with change, surprises, and
unexpected problems. Why? While you appreciate schedules and plans, you recognize when it is wise to
deviate — that is, turn away — from them.
It’s very likely that you deal with things as they happen. “Why rush? Why hurry?” you ask. You understand the
wisdom of long-distance runners who set a pace that suits their body, mind and spirit. Your work style
mirrors that of a marathoner who runs at a measured, predictable and even pace from start to finish.
Driven by your talents, you effortlessly adjust to the shifting challenges of the day. You enjoy variety and
change. You are comfortable allowing each day to unfold on its own terms. You feel little stress when
predetermined timelines must be scrapped. You probably regard rigidly organized plans and routines as
barriers rather than helpful tools.
Because of your strengths, you traditionally prefer to work independently. When you have only your work,
studies, resources, and time to manage, you are able to contend with the day’s events as they unfold. You
usually like to make decisions and act on them without being required to seek and receive the approval of
one or more people.

things quickly change helps those around you to be able to press ahead with you.
Act quickly when urgent matters arise. Those around you may depend on your comfort in
the moment to help them see what needs to be done.

What Is Arranger?
Arrangers are conductors. When faced with a complex situation involving many factors, people with strong Arranger
talents enjoy managing all of the variables, aligning and realigning them until they are sure they have arranged them in the
most productive configuration possible. They are shining examples of effective flexibility, whether they are changing
travel schedules at the last minute because they found a better fare or are mulling over just the right combination of
people and resources to accomplish a new project. From the mundane to the complex, they are always looking for the
perfect configuration.

Chances are good that you believe that anything worth doing involves a little chaos. Change does not bother
you. In fact, you find it invigorating.
Because of your strengths, you have a strong sense of commitment. It motivates you to make sure that
things are carried through to completion even when difficulties arise.
Instinctively, you face change with confidence and enjoy finding new ways to get back on track. You love the
challenge of modifying an original plan to achieve the most productive results.
Driven by your talents, you yearn to be given additional duties. You expect to be held accountable for your
productivity, profit, behavior, comments, and actions.
It’s very likely that you are drawn to teams in which members rely on you to simplify everyday duties and
tasks. You can provide them with appropriate rules and systems to handle recurring activities and events.
You expect each person to faithfully use these rules and systems. You truly appreciate those who regularly
follow your directions. You tend to become aggravated with individuals who do things the old way or their
own way, thus causing systems to fail.

them.
Look for chances to work in complex, dynamic environments that let you coordinate and
develop strategies for getting things done. This will bring out your best.

What Is Includer?
“Stretch the circle wider.” People with strong Includer talents center their lives on this philosophy. They want to include
people and make them feel like part of the group. They notice people who feel like outsiders or who feel unappreciated,
and they reach out to bring them in. They instinctively accept others. Regardless of race, gender, nationality, personality
or faith, Includers cast few judgments. Their accepting nature doesn’t necessarily rest on the belief that we are all
different and that one should respect those differences — rather, it rests on the conviction that fundamentally we are all
the same. We are all equally important. Thus, no one should be ignored. Each of us should be included.

Includer
Driven by your talents, you are more sensitive than most people to what it feels like to be left out of a group, a
conversation, or an activity. This is apt to explain why you intentionally invite a wide range of individuals into
your circle of friends, family, or acquaintances.
Because of your strengths, you believe that people should have the freedom to do what they want and to be
who they genuinely are. You automatically accept others without question or judgment.
Instinctively, you notice people who sit in solitude. You intentionally figure out how to integrate them with
others rather than leave them in isolation.
It’s very likely that you capitalize on your ability to ask questions and listen to people’s answers, especially
when meeting strangers or newcomers. You might even be tempted to eavesdrop on what they are telling
someone else. Not wanting anyone to feel like an outsider, you are apt to draw individuals into the
conversation. Unquestionably, you search for reasons to involve them in your own or the group’s activities.
Chances are good that you bring a charming presence to situations that may be viewed as “strictly
business.” You include — rather than dismiss — others in the room.

Be aware that existing group members might not initially embrace newcomers, so do your
best to explain what we all have in common. Help others understand that to respect the
differences among us.
