Background information<br />
The wording of the strength cards in Section F1 Exercise 1 is from Dr. Martin Seligman’s work at the<br />
University of Pennsylvania. It is possible for students to take an on-line signature strengths test<br />
at http://www.authentichappiness.sas.upenn.edu/default.aspx . This test identifies the top five<br />
strengths of the respondent based on how they rate themselves according to their response to a<br />
set of questions. The test is free and the results are used anonymously in Dr. Seligman’s research.<br />
The test should only be undertaken with parent permission. For example students complete the<br />
test at home (with the parent registering and then signing in the child. The parent has the option of<br />
viewing the test before registering their child).<br />
The headings and some of the categories from the pastimes table are taken from the self help<br />
workbook at www.responsible<strong>gambling</strong>.org<br />
The material in F2 is based on Students steps to success by Sandy McGregor, CALM Pty. Ltd., 1994<br />
