I need to write a report using the 12 factors of human strengths. I am snowed in and for some reason my Adobe is silly. Can you tell me the 12 factors??
Since I am not familiar with these 12 factors, I searched Google under the key words "human strengths" to get these possible sources:

There are other sites out there, and you might want to revise your key words.
In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/.
I hope this helps.
Of course! The "12 factors of human strengths" you are referring to are likely the "VIA Character Strengths." These strengths were developed by positive psychologists Christopher Peterson and Martin Sen, and they provide a framework for understanding and categorizing positive traits and virtues. Here are the 12 VIA Character Strengths:
1. Creativity: Thinking of novel and productive ways to do things.
2. Curiosity: Taking an interest in ongoing experiences and learning new things.
3. Open-mindedness: Being receptive to new ideas, perspectives, and experiences.
4. Love of learning: Having a strong desire to acquire new knowledge and skills.
5. Perspective: Being able to provide wise counsel and guidance to others.
6. Bravery: Acting courageously and facing challenges with determination.
7. Persistence: Finishing what you start despite obstacles or distractions.
8. Zest: Approaching life with excitement, energy, and enthusiasm.
9. Love: Valuing close relationships with others and showing kindness.
10. Social intelligence: Being aware of the feelings and needs of others and understanding social dynamics.
11. Fairness: Treating all individuals with equity and justice.
12. Forgiveness: Letting go of grudges or resentment and showing mercy to others.
Since you mentioned your Adobe being problematic, if you're snowed in and unable to access your usual resources, there are alternative ways to confirm and obtain this information. You can search online for "VIA Character Strengths" to find reliable sources such as the official VIA Institute on Character or other reputable websites that provide detailed explanations of each strength. You could also consult psychology textbooks or scholarly articles on positive psychology as they often discuss the VIA Character Strengths framework.
