Difference between a signature strenght and a strength

[molosku]

I find it hard to really tell which of my 5 strengths are my true signature strengths. Here they are:

• Creativity, ingenuity, and originality
• Appreciation of beauty and excellence
• Humor and playfulness - Signature
• Curiosity and interest in the world
• Forgiveness and mercy

Humor is a clear one for me, it is enforced both from the outside world and the inside, I know it's really ME. It's the only one that I'm really sure of, but I'd rank it only as my third greatest strength. What gives? Can I be better in other areas than my signature strength, or is something wrong with my ranking? What is the distinction between a strength and a signature strength? This is also hard because a part of me wants to rank some of those as signature, but I'm really trying to be as honest here as I can.

If it is not obvious at first look, it is not a signature strength? Is it like if someone asks you if you love them and you hesitate even a second, it means you probably don't?

@molosku  for me helped that i retook the test second time after two weeks to double check.

I have also the my first strength the creativity although i am an Accountant and i am not creative at all in my everyday life. I do not have a single artistic hobby, maybe some guitar here and there.

However in my everyday life can make things work whatever the situation by finding new ways to do them. I believe the meaning of creativity that this test talks about is the creative mind capacity to found new ways and carve your own path.

Maybe retake the test after a while, or maybe do other tests about strengths to double check.

@George Fil thanks for your reply!

@molosku Signature strength is completely unique to you, whereas regular strength is just a general thing which many people can have. So "humor and playfulness" is not your signature strength because so many people have that as a strength and it's not unique at all. It may be a strength of yours, but in order for it to be a signature strength it would have to be a molosku sort of humor or playfulness. It would be a type of humor and playfulness that only you can have. 

A signature strength is basically something you can write down on paper then sign your name under it and it would make complete sense. Pretty much belongs to you.
