The VIA (www.viacharacter.org) classification of character strengths came from a multiyear project in which 55 top social scientists asked the following question: What is best about humans? Over three years, these scientists researched the world’s major writings on religion, philosophy, organizational studies, youth development, psychiatry, and psychology, among others, to seek out the virtues and strengths valued across cultures and time.
The result of all of this work is the VIA classification, or the list of 6 core virtues and the 24 character strengths categorized within them.
