Your greatest strengths are also your greatest weaknesses

Find out in 20 minutes what your strengths are – and where they stand in your way. Free of charge.

Most strength analyses only show you half the truth.

They tell you what you’re good at. Congratulations. But they don’t tell you that your greatest strengths can also slow you down.

Your weaknesses are not a lack of skills. They are your strengths in excess.

The #STÄRKENSTÄRKEN analysis is the only strengths analysis that shows you both:

What makes you strong – and where exactly it tips over.

How a strength becomes a weakness

Click on the tile to find out the downsides.

CONSCIENTIOUSNESS

I am reliable and strive to give 100%. You can rely on me

Downsides

Your high standards mean that you say yes too often and overburden yourself. In doing so, you forget your own needs - because the task always comes first. There is a clear tendency towards perfectionism.

FIGHTING SPIRIT

I stand up for my convictions and do not shy away from conflict

Downsides

Your direct style can come across as aggressive and intimidating to others. Your strong stand for your position makes you appear uncompromising - teamwork becomes difficult.

EMPATHY

I feel what others feel and can put myself in their shoes

Downsides

Your strong empathy makes you susceptible to being exploited by others. The constant empathy exhausts you emotionally - and at some point you no longer know what you yourself are feeling.

ADAPTABILITY

I am flexible and find my way around new situations quickly

Downsides

Your flexibility can lead to others perceiving you as a flag in the wind. If you are constantly adapting, you give the impression that you have no backbone and no opinion of your own.

“My #STÄRKENSTÄRKEN journey was a turning point. With the strengths analysis, I recognized my strengths and their downsides (weaknesses) and learned how to use them better in everyday life. This knowledge gave me the courage to embark on a new career path and start a distance learning course on the side – a step that previously seemed unimaginable to me.”

This is Maria Mync -

The #STÄRKENSTÄRKEN analysis is based on a framework of 44 strengths in 4 categories – developed by Maria Mync. As a qualified psychologist with in-depth training as a coach and over 20 years of experience in strengths-based coaching, she has developed a framework that does not gloss over strengths, but shows them in full – including their dark sides. Not a generic personality test, but a tool that reveals strengths and their dark sides.

The principle: what makes you strong can also slow you down. This understanding changes the way you treat yourself and others.
