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 />

Support activities from other <strong>Consumer</strong> Stuff resources<br />
