We have more or less of a particular behavior and strength, therefore behaviors and strengths are expressed in degrees, which vary by the context.
Personality profiling looks basically at the four behavioral dispositions of directing, influencing, supporting and complying in the workplace. Behavioral disposition and Character strengths are plural in that each person has a unique profile of behavior disposition and character strengths and they are expressed in combinations rather than in isolation.
All 24 of the character strengths are within each person and associated with different positive outcomes, therefore all 24 character strengths matter. There are many kinds of strengths human beings have, such as talents and interests, and there are many sub-types of character strengths, such as phasic strengths and happiness strengths.
Character strengths are somewhat stable, context-dependent characteristics; they can be developed with practice. Character strengths are both “being” and “doing” – they are essential for both understanding who we are and for behavioral expression/performance.
