Character Strengths and Shadow Work

[Ar_Senses]

Hey there, @Leo Gura

Today I have had an “aha” moment, but I thought it will be a good idea to double-check:

Do you think that your top results from the Character Strengths Survey can be a good pointer onto your potential shadows?

For example, I’ve found that I have a top-3 strengths as humor, spirituality and perspective wisdom but some of my top-3 weakness’s are industry, social intelligence and citizenship. I’m definitely have some special relationships with my social skills. I’m often depreciate and ignoring the value of behaviors appropriate to the current atmosphere.

I have a friend of mine, who have done the test and he has the industry as the one of the top strength, but the spirituality as the top weakness. He kinda  depreciates that strength. Not hating, but ignoring as if it was some useless thing.

My girlfriend have the top strength as an appreciation of the beauty and excellence, and she very often can be mad because of the things or actions, which are seems opposite for her sense of beauty. Or she has a strength as a social intelligence and she can often be bothered or pissed by the actions of “social ignorance” and she often struggles from the social conditioning.

A lot of my friends, who has done the test are creative and genuine, humorous and beauty appreciators, but they have lack of self-control or industry.

BTW, Is there a big overlap between the strengths and values?

The top strength — is a thing that you appreciate the most and are willing to realize because of your current values and worldview, am I right?
