Strengths and Weaknesses

I took the Strengthsfinder 2.0 test last night. I can't say they revealed anything that I didn't already know about myself, but it did bring to light something that I do have as a pattern of life. I lead with my strong suit and use that to overshadow my weaknesses, something that SF is all about. Kind of a nice confirmation since I subconciously have to trust that doing that is the best course of action. It's about believing in who you are and having the courage to be that. Of course it helps to know that God is working in my life to His glory and as I offer Him my best He blesses that and by His grace causes all things to work together for good. I thought of a last question that the test should ask after it's taken and you read your results:

I concentrate on my strengths   A - B - C - D - E  I concentrate on my weaknesses

Where would you rate? I see myself as at B I lead with my strengths but am every aware of my weaknesses but don't put as much focus on them. Recognizing what God has placed in you and knowing that He has a purpose for you gives you the courage to trust that He will not allow anything to come into you life that you can't deal with.
