Peterson & Seligman (2004) character strengths taxonomy · Public-domain IPIP items — not a licensed commercial inventory.
They're organized under 6 virtues. Wisdom & Knowledge: creativity, curiosity, judgment, love of learning, perspective. Courage: bravery, perseverance, honesty, zest. Humanity: love, kindness, social intelligence. Justice: teamwork, fairness, leadership. Temperance: forgiveness, humility, prudence, self-regulation. Transcendence: appreciation of beauty, gratitude, hope, humor, spirituality.
No. A trait like extraversion is largely value-neutral — it describes a tendency, not a merit. A character strength like kindness is explicitly a positive quality. The two frameworks complement each other rather than measuring the same thing.
Psychologists Christopher Peterson and Martin Seligman published the classification in 2004 as a positive-psychology counterpart to clinical diagnostic manuals — a shared vocabulary for what's right with people. This test uses that same public-domain academic taxonomy, measured with public-domain IPIP items.
About 10 minutes for all 48 questions. There's no timer — answer with your instinctive response rather than the answer you think sounds best.

Peterson and Seligman (2004) reviewed philosophical and religious traditions worldwide and distilled 24 character strengths, organized under 6 broad virtues — Wisdom & Knowledge, Courage, Humanity, Justice, Temperance, and Transcendence — that recur across cultures and history. Unlike a personality trait, which is largely value-neutral, a character strength is explicitly a positive quality: the framework was built to name what is good about people, not just what is typical of them.
This test measures the same 24-strength taxonomy using items from the public-domain International Personality Item Pool (IPIP), not any trademarked commercial instrument built on the same research. Everyone has all 24 strengths in some measure; what varies is the ranking. Your top few — your "signature strengths" — tend to feel authentic and energizing to use, and research links deliberately using them in new ways each week to measurable, replicated gains in well-being.
