Via Character Strengths Survey

The VIA (Values in Action) Institute identified 24 distinct character traits that apply worldwide and across cultures. Every person has all 24 strengths, with different natural tendencies towards certain ones. This free, 15-minute survey helps identify which values are strongest for you, which you can then use to reflect on how to maximize these to help you live your best life. You may complete this on your own, or bring your results in to the SCC to process with a counselor.
