Sulagna Misra shares her experience of getting diagnosed with ADHD, exploring the shame associated with it, and the personality test that helped her navigate her symptoms.

• Misra talked to psychologist Dr. W. Keith Sutton, who explains that people with ADHD often struggle with feelings of shame. To overcome this shame, Sutton suggests that people with ADHD should work on building resilience.
• Misra discovered a personality test, called the VIA Character Strengths Survey, that helped her build resilience by shifting the focus off of her “failures and faults” and back to her strengths as an individual.
• The test asks you to rank your level of agreement with 96 statements. At the end, you learn your top 24 personality strengths, ranked in order.
