The VIA Institute on Character is a non-profit organization that systematically explores what is best about human beings. With the aid of scientifically validated character strengths assessments for youth and adults, we are able to focus on people’s strengths rather than their shortcomings.   We work with researchers around the world to utilize the VIA Classification of Strengths and the VIA Inventory of Strengths (VIA Survey) in the scientific study of character. Our Classification of Strengths is the "backbone" of the science of positive psychology.

Visit VIA PRO to use the VIA Inventory of Strengths (VIA Survey) in your work.

VIA PRO offers a variety of professionals – coaches, psychologists, therapists, managers, consultants, educators and others – the benefits of a broad range of research and experience. These invaluable resources allow you to provide a positive, one-of-a-kind framework for clients/employees to build their best lives and achieve their maximum potential.
