Why do I do what I do? Why do I like certain things? Why am I better at some things than others? What are my strengths?
Answering these questions will transform the way you think about yourself, your interactions with others and your contributions to the world.
Florida College is rolling out Clifton Strengths on our campus this year and we are so excited to invest in this assessment for many of you! (Haven't taken the test? Contact Lisa Wilen)
Your Clifton Strengths profile is your talent DNA in rank order based on your responses to the Clifton Strengths assessment.
It describes how to name, claim and aim your most dominant talents.
Your Top 5 Strengths are the most powerful. Similar to your fingerprint, these themes represent how you are uniquely talented. There are nearly 34 million possible combinations of Top 5 themes! Develop your Top 5 Strengths to maximize your potential. Your greatest chance to succeed at school, work, or anywhere else, lies in strengthening what you naturally do best and doing more of it.
Try this, First Name It.
Carefully read the descriptions of each of your Top 5 Clifton Strengths themes and identify parts of the theme descriptions that are undeniably you.
Try to think of a recent situation when you used each theme.
Next, Claim It.
Reflect on who you are. Think about your experiences, your motivations, how you see yourself. Then, consider how your strongest Clifton Strengths shape you, what you do, how you do it and why.
Share your report with people close to you, ask for their reaction.
Then, Aim It.
Post your Top 5 themes from your report in a place where you’ll see them every day. Start with the suggestions for action in the report
Your talents are an instinctive source of wisdom and power. And as you intentionally start to use your most dominant Clifton Strengths themes, you’ll find ways to build on your greatest areas of potential.
You have dynamic talents just waiting to be unlocked and developed!
Use your report to name, claim, and aim!
