How Do I Choose a Career Based on My Strengths?

Choosing a career based on strengths can be useful, but strengths should not be treated as a magic career-matching formula.

The objective is to identify careers where your strengths can create meaningful value while also considering skills, values, interests and environment.

01

Identify your strongest patterns

Ask what you consistently do well, what problems you solve, and what responsibilities produce strong results for you.

02

Translate strength into work

An ability to explain points to teaching, consulting, or communication. An ability to organize points to operations or project coordination. These are possibilities, not prescriptions.

03

Combine strengths

A unique career advantage comes from combinations. Analytical + Communication could lead to data storytelling. Creative + Technology could lead to digital product design.

Leverage Your Strengths

The Penagix Assessment identifies your core strengths and matches them with the career paths that value them most.
