What does the CliftonStrengths assessment identify?

The CliftonStrengths assessment is specifically designed to identify an individual's unique set of strengths, which are categorized into 34 distinct talent themes. These strengths provide insights into how a person thinks, feels, and behaves, and they can be leveraged for personal development, career growth, and improved teamwork. The assessment emphasizes recognizing and maximizing these strengths rather than focusing on weaknesses or other unrelated aspects of personal or professional life. This focus on positive attributes is foundational to the Gallup approach, which advocates for building upon what individuals do best. By identifying these 34 strengths, the assessment encourages individuals to cultivate their innate talents and apply them effectively in various contexts.
