Ask me 15 questions about my career, hobbies, relationships, challenges, accomplishments, and moments when I felt most energized. After I've answered all of them, identify 10 strengths that I may be overlooking. For each strength, provide evidence from my answers, explain how it shows up in my life, and suggest practical ways I can use it more intentionally in my career and personal life."The chatbot immediately presented me with some fitting questions, such as “Think about a time in your career when you felt exceptionally proud of your work. What happened, what role did you play, and why did it matter to you?” and “When you're part of a team, friend group, or family gathering, what role do you naturally end up playing?”Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips.I made sure to answer all 15 questions with as many personal details as possible — I spoke about my love for charismatic leaders, the subjects I cared most about back in school, what people rely on me for the most, etc.One question stood out to me the most: “What behavior in other people frustrates you the most, and why?” I answered with, “Being uninformed. There are just too many devices and avenues that can help anyone learn about anything and find credible sources. Instead, people remain clueless and even refuse to learn how to use new forms of technology.”
