About This Measure
A 96-item public-domain inventory of the 24 character strengths from the Values in Action (VIA) framework, refined and validated by Bluemke and colleagues (2021). Each strength is measured by four balanced-keyed items rated on a 1–5 accuracy scale. Results are reported as percent-of-max scores per strength, with non-diagnostic Higher / Average / Lower narrative bands. No population norms or percentiles are provided.
