Character Lab
Character is the intentions and actions that benefit both the individual and others.
Why character?
Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education.” Our goal is to make this vision a reality.
Our research has demonstrated that character is plural, encompassing a multitude of strengths that are organized into three dimensions: Interpersonal strengths, like gratitude, enable harmonious relationships with other people; intrapersonal strengths, like grit and self-control, enable achievement; and intellectual strengths, like curiosity, enable a fertile and free life of the mind.
Character Strengths Labels
Strengths of Will: These are the “intrapersonal” or “doing” strengths. They help you achieve your goals.
Strengths of Mind: These are the “intellectual or “thinking” strengths. They help you ponder, wonder, and create.
Strengths of Heart: These are the “interpersonal” or “giving” strengths. They help you relate in positive ways to other people.
