สรุป	The Values in Action (VIA) Inventory of Strengths, developed by Peterson and Seligman in 2004, is a comprehensive instrument designed to identify and measure 24 core character strengths organized under six virtues. Grounded in ancient philosophy and contemporary psychology, the VIA shifts the focus from deficits and pathology to human strengths and positive potential. It exists in multiple versions (full 240-item VIA-240, brief 96-item VIA-96, and mobile-optimized formats), making it accessible for research, clinical practice, coaching, and organizational development.	The PERMA-Profiler is a 23-item multidimensional measure of flourishing developed by Butler and Kern in 2016 based on Seligman's PERMA model of positive psychology. It assesses five core domains of human flourishing—Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment—plus Negative Emotion and Loneliness as contextual factors. This instrument bridges the theoretical PERMA framework with practical measurement, enabling comprehensive assessment of psychological well-being across multiple life dimensions.
