What is CliftonStrengths?

CliftonStrengths is an online assessment that helps you discover your natural talents: how you naturally think, feel, and act. Based on more than 50 years of research, the assessment identifies your unique strengths and helps you understand how to use them to succeed in school, work, and life.

Rather than focusing on areas where you need improvement, CliftonStrengths encourages you to build on what you already do well. It serves as a starting point for personal growth, helping you better understand yourself and how you interact with others. By providing a common language for discussing strengths, CliftonStrengths can help you develop stronger relationships, work more effectively in teams, and reach your full potential.

Talent is a natural way of thinking, feeling, or behaving. 
Investment is time spent practicing, developing your skills, and building your knowledge base. 
Strength is the ability to consistently provide near-perfect performance in a specific task. 

Focus on Strengths 

What makes you unique? CliftonStrengths helps answer that question by identifying your natural talents and strengths. The assessment measures your talent across 34 strength themes, which are grouped into four domains: Executing, Influencing, Relationship Building, and Strategic Thinking.

Your personalized results highlight your strongest themes and show how you naturally contribute, collaborate, and lead. By understanding your strengths across these four domains, you can better leverage your talents for success in school, work, and life.
