StrengthsFinder 2.0

I bought it as part of a leadership program. Its main intent is to find your strengths thru an online assessment, accessed via a unique one-time code included in the book. So, it’s best to buy a new copy. The assessment reveals your top 5 strengths for free, with an option to unlock all 34 by paying extra. In my view, the top 5 are good enough. The book itself describes all 34 strengths in a couple of pages each, so a used copy is still useful for general reference. The only confusing part was the price on Amazon India—it ranged from ₹900 to ₹2400. I got it at the lower price, and it served its purpose well.

Personalized Access Code: The Clifton StrengthsFinder stands out with its unique feature of requiring a personalized code to access the online strength finding assessment. Corporate Workshop Integration: This powerful tool has made its way into corporate workshops, allowing individuals to benefit from the self-awareness it provides. Empowering Common Individuals: The Clifton StrengthsFinder extends its impact beyond corporate settings, offering a sense of self-awareness to people from all walks of life. Genuine and Authentic: The assessment's authenticity is a key aspect, ensuring that the insights gained about our strengths are real and accurate. Personal Transformation: Through my own experience, I have witnessed the profound impact of the Clifton StrengthsFinder in uncovering hidden talents and unleashing personal potential.

Even though I have used this type of test earlier, this one is very different. Question types capture changes developed based on work experiences also.

This is an awesome book and assessment which every professional must taken in their career. It helps them to understand their own strengths and also it helps to understand how to work with people if they know their strength areas. Must read and must buy!

This book is only for one time use. If you are interested in identifying your Top 5 strengths you can use the code and identify them from the online test and then read about those five strengths from the second half of the book. You can unlock all your strengths upon payment of some extra bucks to Gallup, but if you are satisfied with your top 5 then only 10% of the book will be useful for you. The remaining part of the book will be useless since you will probably not be interested in exploring strengths that you don't have in you. You cannot even share this book with anyone else because the code is unique and they will not find it useful unless they take the online test. My mentor at my organization who is guiding me in my career goals told me that the Top-5 strengths are enough to focus on and you need not unlock the remaining.

Pros: 1. Gives a unique access code (one time use only) to Clifton's Strength Finder Assessment and website which basis a series of questions right identifies your dominant personality traits (talents). 2. Details each of the personality traits for better understanding. Cons: 1. Not a stand alone book - the book alone doesn't have any meaning but a means to unlock into your self. Overall: must buy if you can find some time to complete the strengthfinder 2.0 assessment. If you think my review was helpful, don't forget to click the helpful link below the review.

'Know thyself' has been a life long avocation for me and am delighted to say that the StrengthsFinder is a superb tool to do that. As a 40 something senior Marketing honcho in a globally recognised engineering giant I had always been faintly aware if where my inclinations naturally lies but I never saw them as strengths to be leveraged, honed and actively used for navigating the career. Since perusing the book and using the online tool my life has changed. I have been able to join a work group that uses the best of my abilities. I am doing work that's phenomenally meaningful both to me and my company. Frankly, I am starting every day again with a song on my lips and a new spring in my step. Definitely recommended!

In a society that is constantly asking you to work on your areas of improvement, never going back to how you can capitalize on the strengths you already have, this book comes to the rescue as a knight in shining armor. What a great way to move ahead without having your shortcomings block your path to success. Great read. Give it a shot.

Me describió totalmente. Te dan una pequeña contraseña para hacer el test, lo puedes hacer en español o en ingles. La reseña también la puedes tener en español o en ingles. Únicamente el libro esta en ingles. Es un libro muy bueno, me ha ayudado a enfocarme más en que quiero hacer y hacia donde quiero ir. Descubrí cosas que no sabía de mi. Se los recomiendo.

Il est toujours difficile pour moi d’accepter d’être si bien décrit par un questionnaire automatique. J’avais déjà passé le test SOSIE lorsque j’avais passé l’entretien RH pour mon premier job, et j’avais été obligé d’avouer que le résultat du test me décrivait assez bien. J’ai parcouru les 29 autres thèmes, et je dois dire qu’aucun ne me décrit aussi bien que les 5 thèmes retenus par le test. De même ici avec ce livre, mes 5 thèmes de force sont pertinents avec la façon dont je me perçois. la femme qui partage ma vie en a pris connaissance et est également d’accord avec l’analyse du rapport. Je n’ai pas encore montré ces 5 thèmes à toutes les personnes qui me connaissent vraiment, mais j’imagine qu’il ne leur semblera pas absurde de voir « Competitor », « Activator » et « Significance » parmi mes talents. Les talents « Learner » et « Input » sont peut-être plus difficiles à évaluer quand on ne vit pas avec la personne. Elle, qui me voit dévorer des livres sans cesse, est plus à-même de juger. Je trouve la démarche intéressante. Chercher à connaître ses forces n’est pas facile sans structure de réflexion : c’est l’objet du livre. J’ai toujours été très ennuyé quand il s’agissait de préparer les questions sur mes qualités et mes défauts. Avec ce livre, j’y vois plus clair et je dispose d’éléments très nombreux pour assurer une réponse claire. Les pistes pour travailler sur nos forces sont une excellente initiative. Bien que j’imagine qu’il sera compliqué de toutes les mettre en œuvre, c’est une manière pour le livre de rentrer dans la pratique et pour le lecteur de ne pas se trouver seul face à ses 5 talents sans savoir comment les mettre en œuvre. Je conseille à tout le monde d’acheter le livre et de faire le test. Comme il n’est pas nécessaire de lire l’ensemble du livre, on arrive très vite au résultat voulu : connaître ses forces. A essayer si vous cherchez des pistes pour vous améliorer. Adrien Delambre [...]

最初に出版された「さあ、才能に目覚めよう」を購入し、セカンドエディションが出ていることに気がつき購入しました。本書を購入することにより、Strengths Finder Version2のオンラインテストを受けることができます。テストを受けるまでの設定は英語ですがテストの質問事項は、日本語で受けられます。より良くなった点は、行動のアドバイスが得られたり、掲示板での意見交換が行えます。2冊購入し、妻との結果を比較したのですが、一致しているものは、一つもありませんでした。お互いを補いあえるということで、この方がよい結果であるといえるように思われます。信憑性のない占いをするよりは、統計データに基づく本書の利用をお勧めします。

I ordered a used copy of the book for a class and had two assignments based on taking the strengths assessment. New copies of the book come with an access code to be used to take a roughly 30-minute strengths assessment. Unfortunately, the access code that came with the book I ordered had already been used, which made the purchase pretty meaningless. The book gives you helpful information about your assessment results, but if you haven't taken the assessment, the book is pretty pointless. I requested and received a refund for the purchase, then ordered it on Kindle. The access code arrived separately via email almost immediately after the Kindle purchase receipt email. The code worked perfectly, I took the assessment, learned some things about myself, wrote two essays on the experience, got full credit on both assignments. Yay! The only reason to buy this book used is if you've already taken the assessment and know your top strengths. I think my strengths assessment results were pretty accurate, although it took me a while to understand that a few of my unique characteristics weren't just quirky, they could actually be considered a strength, if I simply choose to accept that perspective instead of trying to hide those odd quirks. Like any type of assessment or personality quiz, it's not perfect or always completely accurate, but it can be helpful way to learn more about yourself. Recommended (as long as you buy a NEW copy only in order to take the assessment).

Ok, let's be clear. What you're really buying access to is the fantastic online psychometric test. I bought the kindle version of this as it's slightly cheaper. The book itself is fairly short: it contains an intro (about a fifth of the book) which explains the Gallup point of view. This is basically that if we all understood and focussed on our strengths rather than our weaknesses, we would be happier and far, far more productive (after decades of work on this, they have the research to back this up). It's articulated really well, and is really convincing. The rest of the book is a summary of each of the different strengths, including how people with that strength might want to make the most of that strength, and how to work with people like that. But the truth is you don't need to read that for yourself, because when you take the test (relatively short) you get a personalised report on each of your strengths (ok, it's not totally personalised, but it adapted for exactly *how much* you have each strength, and the mixtures you have). And here's where the transformative bit comes in. This personalised report really affected me. When I read some of it, I welled up. I hadn't felt that *got* for ages. And it opened up all sorts of things: I understood why I had left a particular job, which had mostly been a great job, I understood why I was so attracted to the career path I am developing into. And I just know that I will be able to use this going forward. I work as a coach now, and I often recommend this to clients. Mostly they don't do it, because it costs £10 or so, and you can get free psychometric tests about strengths online. But the ones who take it find it transformative, too. It's WAY better than the free ones, and for me the £10 is one of the best £10s I've ever spent. Go on, get it!
