What's the validity of the assessment?
Gallup's CliftonStrengths庐 is an online assessment of personal talent that identifies areas in which an individual has the greatest potential for building strengths. Download the for more information.
Why is there a timer for each statement? What if I didn't have time to choose a response?
The 20-second time limit and your unfamiliarity with the statements ensure your assessment's accuracy by making it difficult to over-think your responses. The CliftonStrengths assessment works by challenging you to make choices between paired statements. Whenever your talents lead you to make a choice, we capture it. Gallup uses the combination of all the choices you made to calculate your top five themes. If the time limit prevented you from making a choice, it is very likely that neither statement affected you in a way that allowed you to make a top-of-mind choice. Whether each of the two statements described you equally well, or neither statement described you well, your difficulty in making a choice reveals that the statement pair probably did not tap into one of your most dominant themes of talent. You cannot disable the timer; however, if you have a reading disability, Gallup can turn off the timer for your account. Contact Client Support for assistance.

What does the CliftonStrengths assessment measure?
The CliftonStrengths assessment measures the presence of talents in 34 general areas referred to as "themes." Talents are ways in which we naturally think, feel, and behave as unique individuals, and they serve as the foundation of strengths development. Upon completing the CliftonStrengths assessment, you will receive your reports with information about your themes. You then have the opportunity to delve into those themes to discover your greatest talents. Gallup designed the assessment and accompanying reports to help you learn about and build upon your greatest talents to create strengths that will enhance all aspects of your life.

What is the science of strengths?
Based on a 50-year study of human strengths, Gallup created a language of the 34 most common talents and developed the CliftonStrengths assessment in 1999 to help people discover and describe these talents. In 2001, Gallup included the initial version of this assessment with the bestselling management book Now, Discover Your Strengths. The discussion quickly moved beyond the management audience of this book. The goal was to start a global conversation about what's right with people. It appears that the world was ready to have this conversation. Also see the for more information.
