‘Love’ As A Top Strength:

08 Sep 2015
share

If Love is your top strength you value close relations with others, in particular those in which sharing and caring are reciprocated. The people to whom you feel most close are the same people who feel most close to you.

Virtue Category:

Love falls under the virtue category of Humanity. Humanity describes strengths that manifest in caring relationships with others. These strengths are interpersonal and are mostly relevant in one-on-one relationships.

Key Concepts:

There are four types of love, each with a biological and evolutionary base:

1. Attachment love: parent for child; child for parent
2. Compassionate/altruistic love: kindness
3. Compassionate love: friendship
4. Romantic love: spouse/partner/boyfriend/girlfriend

Exercises For Boosting Love:

Convey love at work by making an effort to understand who you’re working with, finding out what is important to them and engaging with them on the topic regularly.

Nurture close relationships by practicing an active-constructive response when someone shares news about an event. This means that you ask questions about the event or the person’s experience; show a sense of genuine enthusiasm and energy for their experience, and comment on the meaning it may have for them.

Engage in a favourite activity with a loved one (e.g., hiking, going to an amusement park, biking, walking in the park, swimming, camping, jogging).
