Answer preview

The Gallup test showed that I have the following traits; restorative, learner, communication, arranger, futuristic. Interestingly, these strengths are relevant and applicable to my career. I would like to work as in a management role in a business setting. These traits will play a vital role for me as I pursue and work in my career. It is worth noting that the business environment is highly competitive, therefore for one to survive either as an employee or entrepreneurs, they must have the necessary traits to remain competitive (Kwon & Cho, 2017). In view of my career goals, I feel that being restorative will be useful for me, as it implies that I am able to create solutions to problems that arise in the workplace.
