What Are CliftonStrengths?
CliftonStrengths is an essential tool that empowers people to thrive in their life, their work and their relationships. It isn’t until people know what makes them talented and unique that they know how to perform better in their job. Talents, founder Don Clifton wrote, are your “naturally recurring patterns of thought, feeling or behavior.” They’re the innate, natural abilities you can productively apply.
When Clifton studied human behavior, he noted hundreds of positive characteristics and saw that many of those characteristics had commonalities. Based on those common traits, he distilled them down into the 34 talent themes we know today.
But to turn those talents into strengths, you must invest in them — practice using them and add knowledge and skills to them.
Talent x
Investment =
Strength
Talent is a natural way of thinking, feeling or behaving.
A potential Strength
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.
A talent used productively.
You can discover how your themes of talent rank and receive guidance about how you can leverage those talents by completing the CliftonStrengths Assessment.
The CliftonStrengths Assessment consists of 177 paired statements, and you will have to choose which of the two statements best describes you. The test is designed to be completed in about 30-40 minutes, with no time limit, but it’s important to answer intuitively and quickly to reflect your natural tendencies
CliftonStrengths is based on decades of research by Gallup, grounded in psychometric principles to ensure both reliability and validity. Here’s how:
Reliability: The CliftonStrengths Assessment is highly reliable, meaning that it consistently measures the same talents when taken multiple times (as long as there is no significant change in the individual’s life circumstances). Research shows that most people’s results remain stable over time.
Validity: The test has been validated through extensive research to measure what it claims to measure—talents and strengths that are tied to performance and personal success. Gallup’s studies confirm that people who focus on their natural strengths are more likely to experience higher job satisfaction, engagement, and productivity. The assessment’s predictive validity has been shown in how well it correlates with positive outcomes like career success and well-being.
Scientific Foundation: The development of the CliftonStrengths Assessment was based on Strengths-Based Psychology, a field of study that looks at individuals’ inherent talents rather than focusing on fixing weaknesses. It draws on principles of positive psychology and human potential theory, which have been rigorously tested and proven to have a strong foundation in scientific research.
People who play to their strengths most of the time are:
3X as likely to have an excellent quality of life
6X as likely to be engaged at work
8% more productive in their role
6X as likely to do what they do best everyday
