Virtue of wisdom and knowledge

The virtue of Wisdom and Knowledge groups together those character strengths that involve the acquisition and use of knowledge in a constructive manner.

It is not just about accumulating information. It's about applying it in a positive and thoughtful way to understand the world and function effectively in it.

Creativity

Creativity is the ability to think of new and productive ways of doing things, introducing an element of innovation.

While creativity resides in the thought and imagination of new possibilities, innovation is manifested in the action of putting those ideas into practice.

A person can be creative when imagining concepts, but becomes innovative when he or she materializes those imaginations.

It is important to reflect on how creative and innovative you are in your daily life.

Curiosity

Curiosity is defined as a genuine interest in the new and the active search for the novel.

It implies a desire to explore, discover and experience the various facets of the world around us.

Being curious is opposed to conformism or staying in the comfort zone, pushing the person to go beyond the known.

It is a strength that manifests itself in a positive outlook towards learning and experience.

Good Judgment (Critical Thinking)

Good judgment refers to the ability to think about things in detail and examine them from multiple perspectives before reaching conclusions.

It involves not jumping to conclusions and analyzing information reflectively and critically.

This strength is fundamental to being a wise person, as it allows us to make more informed and considered decisions, distinguishing the use of the brain over the impulsiveness of the heart in decision making.

Desire to Learn

A person who cultivates the virtue of wisdom and knowledge possesses a clear and persistent inclination towards continuous learning.

This desire to learn goes beyond formal education; it is a constant thirst to acquire new knowledge, skills and understanding in various areas of life.

Perspective

Perspective is the strength that enables us to offer sound advice to others, based on the ability to view situations from different angles and understand them in a broader context.

Those who have perspective do not remain anchored to a single way of seeing things.

Rather, they are capable of analyzing problems and circumstances by considering various alternatives and nuances to solve them or understand them better.
