The Ruby class below represents my personal strengths based on a CliftonStrengths test I took. The behaviors listed in this class describe my personal traits and each method provides a brief definition of that behavior. The behaviors are stored in an array that can be accessed through the 'behaviors' method.
class PersonalStrengths
attr_reader :behaviors
def initialize
@behaviors = []
end
[:individualization, :learner, :arranger, :responsibility, :relator, :intellection, :futuristic, :developer, :discipline, :analytical].each do |behavior|
define_method(behavior) do
@behaviors << behavior
"You #{BEHAVIOR_DESCRIPTIONS[behavior]}."
end
end
BEHAVIOR_DESCRIPTIONS = {
individualization: "are intrigued with the unique qualities of each person. You have a gift for figuring out how different people can work together productively",
learner: "have a great desire to learn and want to continuously improve. The process of learning, rather than the outcome, excites you",
arranger: "can organize, but you also have a flexibility that complements this ability. You like to determine how all of the pieces and resources can be arranged for maximum productivity",
responsibility: "take psychological ownership of what you say you will do. You are committed to stable values such as honesty and loyalty",
relator: "enjoy close relationships with others. You find deep satisfaction in working hard with friends to achieve a goal",
intellection: "are characterized by your intellectual activity. You are introspective and appreciate intellectual discussions",
futuristic: "are inspired by the future and what could be. You energize others with your visions of the future",
developer: "recognize and cultivate the potential in others. You spot the signs of each small improvement and derive satisfaction from evidence of progress",
discipline: "enjoy routine and structure. Your world is best described by the order you create",
analytical: "search for reasons and causes. You have the ability to think about all of the factors that might affect a situation"
