Character Strengths

I found this to be interesting. Discover your character strengths in 15 minutes.

I'm not surprised by the first one, in fact when I read the list of character strengths I thought that would come out on top, but the one about wisdom is a surprise. Also 'spirituality/faith/God' stuff came out last.

I often wonder if there is a bit of a gap in my psyche with that stuff. Would I be a better/smarter/stronger/nicer/calmer person if I did something towards spirituality? By that I don't even necessarily mean 'God' as such, but more wonder at the world and our place within it. I guess in a sense I see spirituality to be a humbling experience where we consider the bigger picture, and realise there is more to it all than just ourselves.
