Strengths Finder 2.0 - My results

Donald O. Clifton invented the Clifton StrengthsFinder and was a major influencer in the world of Strengths-Based Psychology. Most people are familiar with Strengths Finder 2.0 because of the little red book by Tom Rath. This online assessment you access by an individual code found in the book (ie not helpful if you get a second hand copy). Many leaders (from the public and private sector) hand out this book in an effort to increase performance in their organization.

The main idea is that by focusing on an employees strengths you can increase engagement at work. There are also implications for a better overall quality of life being reported.

Well, I believe it. I recently reviewed my Strengths Finder 2.0 and I couldn't help but beam with pride as I looked at my strengths.

My top five and the interpretation of them are as follows:

1. Strategic - choosing the best path when others are overwhelmed.
2. Achiever - driver, love to get things marked off the task list.
3. Communication - distilling information, succint and to the point.
4. Futuristic - the future is inspiring.
5. Activator - "Only action can make things happen. Only action leads to performance. Once a decision is made, you cannot not act."

These traits absolutely describe me! Please share your Strengths Finder 2.0 results in the comments.
