HOW DOES IT WORK?
How does the CliftonStrengths® Assessment work?
Gallup, Inc. has identified 34 Talent Themes (categories of talent).
CliftonStrengths® (StrengthsFinder®) is an online survey-style assessment that reveals the unique order of a person’s talent themes and identifies areas in which a person has the greatest potential for building strengths.
When a person knows their most dominant talent themes, they have a starting point in which to name their unique talents within their dominant themes. In addition, each person’s dominant talents influence one another; therefore, understanding the order of a person’s talent themes gives an even clearer lens in which to understand a person’s unique talents.
How unique is each person through the lens of the CliftonStrengths® Themes? Consider the following probabilities:
Chances of meeting someone with the same Top 5 as you, in any order:
Less than 1 in 275,000!
Chances of meeting someone with the same Top 5 as you, in the same order:
Only 1 in 33,000,000!!
YOU ARE UNIQUE!
While the CliftonStrengths® assessment measures the order of all 34 talent themes for each person, your assessment report will depend on your choice of purchasing either your ‘Top 5’ themes only – also called your ‘Signature Themes of Talent’ - or your ‘Full Sequence’ of all 34 themes.
The Top 5 are our most dominant talent themes. People new to CliftonStrengths® often begin with their Top 5 Signature Themes, and after reflection, learning and application, later acquire their full 34 theme report.
The CliftonStrengths® assessment takes about 45 minutes. You will be allowed 20 seconds to respond to each question. The intent of this time limit is to elicit top-of-the-mind responses, which research shows as producing the most accurate results.
Upon completion of the CliftonStrengths® assessment, your results are available immediately and you will receive reports and tools, such as:
