StrengthsFinder 2.0 - a new and upgraded edition of the online test from Gallup's Now Discover Your Strengths

What Gallup says about the StrengthsFinder 2.0

Gallup has researched the relationship between the extent to which people use their strengths at work and the extent to which they feel engaged in that work. Gallup’s research supports the idea that if people have the opportunity at work to do what they are good at, they feel engaged at work. In addition, identifying strengths and then focussing on them offers real potential for personal growth.

Gallup used the data from (at that time) 100,000 talent-based interviews to highlight and describe the 34 most common talent themes. The Gallup proposition is that, having identified your top talents, you can knowingly invest in those natural talents to develop real strengths in those areas.
