-Input
-Developer
-Belief
-Connectedness
-Ideation
You can read summaries of what each is on the website.
Here are very brief ones:
Input
People strong in the Input theme have a craving to know more. Often they like to collect and archive all kinds of information.
Developer
People strong in the Developer theme recognize and cultivate the potential in others. They spot the signs of each small improvement and derive satisfaction from these improvements.
Belief
People strong in the Belief theme have certain core values that are unchanging. Out of these values emerges a defined purpose for their life.
Connectedness
People strong in the Connectedness theme have faith in the links between all things. They believe there are few coincidences and that almost every event has a reason.
Ideation
People strong in the Ideation theme are fascinated by ideas. They are able to find connections between seemingly disparate phenomena.
The way the test works, for those who don't know what this test is; They give you two options and you have to either select whether you agree or strongly agree with one of the two. Please excuse my poor explanation, it is a pretty simple test. You have a 20 second time limit on each question so that you go with your first instinct.
Honestly, it is hard to be honest(Unintentional Irony). I have the desire to pick the one that best matches the "ideal" person or Christian and not the one that matches me. I actually ran out of time on a few of them because I was clicking back and forth between two answers. I wasn't sure if I actually believed the one I was choosing. I tried my best to be honest.
I have told people this before. My mind works in a way such that I can justify things that are unjustifiable.
Mitch's Mind: "Now that I have recognized the fact that I am dishonest with myself I don't have to change it."
The same applies to other things; even now that I recognize that I justify things, somewhere in my head I have this strange idea that that is enough. Recognizing that I have a problem doesn't solve it, but that is what my mind thinks sometimes. It is very frustrating.
Okay, coming back from another Mitch Tangent...
(As you read my blog and get to know me better, you will discover the Mitch Tangent)
As far as the strengths go, I agree with the strengths they recognized in me. If you read the longer descriptions of the different strengths on the website you will see some pretty accurate descriptions of me.
For example:
Input
You are inquisitive. You collect things. You might collect information-words, facts, books, and quotations-or you might collect tangible objects such as butterflies, baseball cards, porcelain dolls, or sepia photographs. Whatever you collect, you collect it because it interests you. And yours is the kind of mind that finds so many things interesting. The world is exciting precisely because of its infinite variety and complexity. If you read a great deal, it is not necessarily to refine your theories but, rather, to add more information to your archives. If you like to travel, it is because each new location offers novel artifacts and facts. These can be acquired and then stored away. Why are they worth storing? At the time of storing it is often hard to say exactly when or why you might need them, but who knows when they might become useful? With all those possible uses in mind, you really don't feel comfortable throwing anything away. So you keep acquiring and compiling and filing stuff away. It's interesting. It keeps your mind fresh. And perhaps one day some of it will prove valuable.
Crazy. That's me. My mom calls it being a "Pack Rat". When I read it at first I laughed out loud (Yes I typed out the whole thing "Laugh out loud" not "lol") because I had just bought over 45 old pictures at a paper collectibles store in San Diego. Please read the descriptions and comment whether you agree or disagree with them, thanks.
I need to go to bed...
Here are some of the photos I have collected.

You forgot to mention collector of Scrabble games. I see a family trend here. :) ps...love the photographs!
Hey Mitch! umm, really cool strengths!! you are totally cool, and so fun to hang out with! The strength that seems to stick out with you is Belief. I can tell that you have a strong in Jesus, and then play in out in your life... does that make sense?.. i think you get it. Its really good though, so many people strive for that!

definitely agree with the input thing...
but that's part of what makes you intriguing, that you are willing to dig deep and garage-sale long to find the stuff whose uniqueness is is its age, fragility or uncommoness.
Mitch, you are a great guy!! I think that one of your greatest strenghts is your strength of belief. From what I know, you seem like the kinda guy who stands strong and does not give up on what he believes.
Good job!!! You are awesome
awesome! ya i see ideation as your most prevalent strength...youre very creative ad innovative..its neat...
Hey Mitch,
I am going to have to say the strength that i have seen in you is belief. You seem like a guy who really has a deep faith in God.

Hey you!
You seem quirky enough to be input. I think the sepia photos proved that. You also seem to have a strong belief in God and seem very strong-willed.

I think I like the Mitch tangent. It seems to me that goes with your ideation theme! Good strengths and awesome pictures.

Hey dude,
You definitely have input as shown by the pictures you have on here. I think that you will be a collector of great many things, I am sure. I didn't know you collected pictures like that, that is so cool. Anyway, I can't think of anything else to say about your strengths at the moment, but I am very sure that the list of comments goes on, trust you me.
