CliftonStrengths Assessment Interpretation
The CliftonStrengths assessment identifies where an individual or team’s greatest potential for building strengths exists. This online assessment takes about an hour to complete. You’ll receive a personalized report that identifies your top five talent themes. A coach will assist you in understanding and developing these talents and forming them into your greatest strengths.
