The Gallup Organization, known for its polls and employee selection research, developed numerous semi-structured interviews to identify talent that could be enhanced and used to pursue positive outcomes in work and school - in the 1990's, under the leadership of Donald Clifton, Gallup developed StrengthsFinder with the objective of measuring personal talent.
The StrengthsFinder assessment helps identify the areas where a person (or team) have the greatest potential for building strength by measuring recurring patterns of thought, feeling, and behavior. Knowing this information is a starting point for a leadership that is build and developed to help individuals, teams and organizations leveraging their talents.
The assessment works upon 177 pairs of “potential” self-descriptors listed and placed as if they are anchoring polar ends of a continuum. These descriptors are pinned on 34 themes and 4 domains (Executing Domain, Influencing Domain, Relationship Building Domain and Strategic Thinking Domain). By completing the Clifton StrengthsFinder, the immediate results are delivered including your Top 5 signature themes.
