Every individual in the world has a unique set of character strengths that they can use to achieve happiness. Whether you help adults, youth, individuals or groups, we make it easy for you to use our free character strengths survey, comprehensive reports and other tools to help change their lives for the better.
Why VIA Character Strengths?
Character strengths are a scientifically-validated pathway to help individuals improve their lives, work and relationships. The free VIA Survey, translated into over 40 languages, is the premier tool in the field of positive psychology that assesses an individual's character strengths. When you know your clients' or employees' strengths, you can guide them more effectively and authentically.
