How to Assess Your Family’s Strengths and Weaknesses

This family survey is designed to help families understand one another’s strengths, weaknesses, feelings and how each person views the family.  When all family members honestly respond to the survey statements and talk about the results with kindness, the survey can be a powerful tool for family growth. Completing this survey is an important first step in assessing your family's strengths and weaknesses.  

Family members need to understand that it is perfectly all right to have different responses. There are no “right” or “wrong” responses.  Family members’ numbers will often be different because even people in the same family have different beliefs and perceptions.  Different is not wrong.  It is only different. 

Talk about how the survey statements made you feel.  Remember to make only positive comments during your family discussion.

Based on your results, talk about each of these questions:

How do we feel about the kindness we show to one another?How well do we commit our time to each other and to the family?How well do we communicate in our family?How do we feel about the choices we make?How is our family’s physical, mental, social and financial well-being?

Talk about where you are today and where you want to be. Decide which areas you want to work on first.
