The stregths quest book suggests that focusing on and using your strengths rather than focusing on only your weakness is the key to excellence in life and in the classroom. I agree with this because your stregths are what your good at and what comes natural to you. Utalizing them would logically help you be more successful. In relation to taking notes and listening, I think you already use your strengths to help you improve in that aspect. In terms of me I think I use all of my stregths in one way or another to improve. Adaptability helps me to be more flexible and react easy to the unexpected in class or respond quickly in conversation. Competition helps me to achieve harder than my peers in the classroom so I could get a higher grade on the test or the class itself. Relator helps me to be able to easily talk to my professors or TAs if I need help in class. I use ideation when I become interested about an appealing topic in class and I tend to take more detailed and better notes. Command helps me to push my friends to be succesful in school and helps when I help a friend learn in class. By teaching a friend it helps me look over my notes and helps me be more succesful in my class as well.
