The VIA Survey, or the Values in Action Inventory, is a psychological assessment tool designed to measure an individual's character strengths. Developed by psychologists Martin Seligman and Christopher Peterson, it identifies 24 distinct strengths that contribute to personal well-being and fulfillment. The survey is often used in positive psychology to help individuals understand their unique traits and how to leverage them in daily life. Participants complete a series of questions that assess their preferences and behaviors, resulting in a profile of their top strengths. This information can be beneficial for personal development, enhancing relationships, and improving overall life satisfaction. The VIA Survey is widely used in various settings, including education, coaching, and therapy.
