Gallup's CliftonStrengths is an assessment that reveals individual talents across 34 themes in four domains: Executing, Influencing, Relationship Building, and Strategic Thinking. Developed by Donald Clifton, it highlights one’s natural ways of thinking, feeling, and acting. Used by millions worldwide, it shows that focusing on strengths leads to higher productivity, engagement, and quality of life.

The purpose of CliftonStrengths is to help individuals discover and use their natural talents, contributing to greater performance and satisfaction. Organisations benefit as employees perform best when using their strengths.

No, it’s a trait-based tool that measures natural thinking, feeling, and behaviour patterns across 34 themes. Unlike type-based tests like MBTI, which categorize personalities, CliftonStrengths identifies unique strengths, allowing individuals and organisations to focus on talent development.

It’s essential to actively apply and develop your identified talents. By practising and adding skills, you turn talents into strengths, boosting performance and personal growth.

Yes, CliftonStrengths is highly reliable, with stable results over time. Repeated assessments show consistent themes, proving its long-term stability.

While results remain largely stable, minor shifts may occur, but these don’t impact overall themes. CliftonStrengths maintains its relevance for years.

Retakes are generally unnecessary. However, consider retaking if you were distracted, took it in a non-native language, took it early in life, or answered many questions neutrally.

CliftonStrengths builds stronger teams by: - Improving communication through understanding talents, - Assigning tasks based on strengths, increasing satisfaction, - Balancing perspectives with diverse domains, and - Enhancing engagement and trust. Teams focused on strengths work more effectively toward shared goals.

Managers can use CliftonStrengths to understand team strengths and limitations, fostering collaboration, synergy, and peak performance by aligning roles with individual talents.
