There's an area of psychology called positive psychology. Rather than focus on mental health issues, this area of psychology focuses on the strengths of people.
I thought I'd share this test, which can reveal what your character strengths are.
My top 3 were:
1.) Gratitude
2.) Humour
3.) Curiousity
What about you?

Interesting! My understanding is that these strengths are our strong behaviours in our day to day living. I definitely see them play out.
What about you @BananaHammock and @Alessandra1992? Did anything take you be suprise? When I saw my top three, I thought it made sense. Though spirituality was way down the end for me. I thought this was odd, as I consider myself a spiritual person but not so much religious, which I think the questions were pointing towards.

1.Kindness
You are kind and generous to others, and you are never too busy to do a favor. You enjoy doing good deeds for others, even if you do not know them well.
2.Humor
You like to laugh and tease. Bringing smiles to other people is important to you. You try to see the light side of all situations.
3.Social intelligence
You are aware of the motives and feelings of other people. You know what to do to fit in to different social situations, and you know what to do to put others at ease.

@Patricia great list of strengths.
Are they skills/behaviours that have been developed and made stronger through caring for someone or are they character traits that you had before? Or maybe both?
I ask because I think caring for other can certainly make people stronger in ways.
