Character Intelligence
Virtues are the building blocks of our character - the good qualities latent within each of us that make us who we are. They guide us to make positive choices and take positive actions. Every one of us has an abundance of virtues...some shine bright with ease, others need a little nurturing to grow.

Character Intelligence
Character intelligence is the ability to recognise virtues within oneself and within others - including the virtues we readily show, and the ones we need to draw on more to navigate new or challenging situations. Just as emotional intelligence helps identify feelings, character intelligence helps identify inner strengths and capacities.
