What is your super-power?
This is a common behavioral question. It is a variety on tell me your three strenghts. Or what would you co-works say is your strenght.
If you are struggling to come up with ideas, try asking your boss, colleuges and friends what they think is your greatest strenght.
Look at what you enjoy doing? Or where do you get the most compliments.
But be careful, sometimes you will get compliments for doing the grunt work, that is not your strenght.
Thought Exercises to Try:
What can I do better than most?
When my products are successful, what is the common pattern?
What kind of feedback do I get from my peers?
What can I do naturally without thinking about it?
What is easy for me that others struggle with?
What does my family say is my greatest strength?
This question is easy for some and more difficult for others. Even I sometimes forget mine. I get so busy helping others, I forget my own strenghts.
If I were to list them today, I would say:
Breaking down complex ideas into simple re-usable frameworks
Guiding others to self-discover strengths and weaknesses
Natural Curiosity: Always asking why leads to innovation
What is your super power?
