What Makes You Uniquely Powerful
The CliftonStrengths® assessment reveals your natural ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving that can be productively applied. You may already know what your strengths are but Gallup’s reports will give you greater self-awareness and provide new language to describe them. You can then incorporate this into your interactions with others.

The assessment formerly known as Clifton StrengthsFinder® reveals your dominant talents and Strengths®. Your personalized reports provide insights into the dynamics of how your Top 5® talents interact. As a developmental tool, you can invest in your talents — through knowledge, new skills, and practice — so they become Strengths. Gallup provides numerous resources, in the forms of videos, podcasts, articles, and books, to discover the nuances of your signature talent themes.

These resources will allow you to talk about yourself in particularly descriptive ways as you come to realize how your combination of Strengths, experiences, motivations, and skills makes you unique. No one else has this same combination and as you come to appreciate and lean into your uniqueness, you will recognize it as your superpower.

By investing in naming and claiming your talents, you can begin to focus and aim them toward the accomplishment of your goals. You can also compose clear and compelling ways of explaining the impact you bring to a team or organization when you are at your best and engaging your talents. It is rare to meet someone who understands their uniquely powerful abilities.
