Character Strengths Survey Form
Give individuals a clearer picture of their strengths, and give coaches the context to help them grow.
Most personality assessments lose people halfway through; they ask too many questions and provide too little context. The data you get back reflects who stuck it out, not who you actually asked. Typeform's character strengths survey template changes that—giving coaches, HR professionals, and educators a straightforward way to collect honest, complete self-assessments.
The survey uses rating scales, multiple choice, and open-ended fields to capture how respondents feel and behave day to day. Typeform guides respondents through one question at a time, so the survey feels like a conversation, not a clinical test. Conditional logic tailors the form based on each respondent's answers, keeping every question relevant to their specific profile. The result is richer data on how individuals think, respond, and contribute—data coaches and managers can actually use.
Connect survey responses to Google Sheets, Airtable, or your HR platform via Zapier, so results arrive organized and ready to review. Share the survey via a link or email, or embed it in your coaching portal, intranet, or onboarding flow. Honest responses build a clearer picture of individual and team strengths—and the quality of your data depends on the quality of the assessment experience.
A character strengths survey is a personality questionnaire that helps individuals identify how they apply their strengths in daily life. It captures self-reported data through rating scales, open-ended questions, and multiple choice responses about curiosity, persistence, empathy, leadership, etc. Think of it as a mirror that helps show people not just who they are, but how they actually show up.
Most people have a vague sense of their strengths but no structured way to articulate them. A character strengths survey gives individuals concrete, data-backed language to describe how they work best. For coaches and HR teams, it creates a shared vocabulary for development conversations, grounded in each person's responses, not just assumptions. Use it for onboarding, team building, coaching programs, or personal development initiatives.
Cover both the what and the how of each strength, including:
- Rating scale questions for core character strengths (e.g., curiosity, perseverance, kindness, creativity)
- Open-ended questions about how respondents apply each strength in daily situations
- Scenario-based questions that reveal strengths in action
- A self-reflection question about which strengths feel most natural vs. most effortful
- A question about how respondents believe their strengths contribute to their team or community
Sort responses by strength category to spot patterns across your team. Share individual results to kick off development conversations rooted in each person's own answers. Use the aggregate data to shape coaching priorities, team structure, or training programs.
A character strengths survey works for anyone involved in personal or professional development. Coaches use it before 1:1 sessions, HR teams use it during talent reviews, and educators use it to support students. If you want to understand how you or the people around you work best, this survey is a good place to start.
