The VIA Classification of Character Strengths

The VIA Classification of Character Strengths is a framework that identifies 24 positive qualities that help individuals thrive and lead meaningful lives. These strengths are grouped into six categories: wisdom, courage, humanity, justice, temperance, and transcendence. Examples include kindness, gratitude, bravery, fairness, and hope. Recognizing these strengths can improve self-awareness and foster personal growth, relationships, and well-being. The classification is widely used in psychology and education to promote the development of character and to help people understand and utilize their best qualities.
