Which term describes positive traits organized around six categories of virtues: wisdom, courage, humanity, justice, temperance, and transcendence?

• A. Character Strengths
• B. Signature Strengths
• C. Positive Psychology
• D. Social Support

Answer: (A)

Positive traits grouped into six virtues—wisdom, courage, humanity, justice, temperance, and transcendence—are described by the Values in Action classification. This framework names these traits as Character Strengths, a broad catalog of strengths people can cultivate to live well. Within that catalog, some traits may feel particularly central to who you are; those are called signature strengths. The other options don’t describe this organized set of traits: Positive Psychology is the field studying well-being, not the specific list; Social Support refers to resources from others. So the best term for the described group is Character Strengths.
