My Clinton StrengthsFinder Results
The Clifton StrengthsFinder by Gallup is an online assessment that identifies people's strengths within four general domains:
- Relating Themes (Working with Peoiple),
- Impacting Themes (Influencing People),
- Striving Themes (Working Harder), and
- Thinking Themes (Working Smarter).
The premise of the assessment is that people work best when they follow their strengths.
Several years ago, I participated in Chattanooga State's involvement with Gallup to identify each of our strengths. I took the online assessment identifying my top five strengths. All of my strengths are in a single domain: Thinking. In reviewing my work on campus, it became clear that, in all my endeavors, I was following my strengths.
Below is the list of my strengths, ranked in descending order:
- Strategic - accessing complex situations and quickly identifying relevant data or best alternatives
- Learner - learning and acquiring understanding
- Input - collecting and archiving of information
- Context - thinking about the past and its continued impact on the present
- Intellection - introspection, constantly thinking
