Positivity is a contagious enthusiasm. It’s a relationship theme that celebrates people and gets others excited about what they are going to do. Positivity taps into the emotion in a room and injects drama and energy into situations. People with Positivity are often the leader of feelings in a group. Others rely on them to keep things upbeat. Everyone feels better about life when people with Positivity are around. Others can also see Positivity as being blind to negative parts of situations, but instead, it’s choosing to highlight the parts that are good. Positivity genuinely sees the good in every situation. People with positivity can also become deflated by negativity. Raw Positivity feels bruised with too much negative emotion. Mature Positivity knows negativity is a sore spot for them and they make sure to seek out other people and situations where they can be positive. Raw positivity is standardized, having the same level of volume/jokes for everything. Mature positivity is knowing your audience and interjecting the right kind of positivity into the situation.To learn more about Gallup's additional strengths resources, visit the Gallup Strengths Center: http://on.gallup.com/1l04XVZ.
