Our research confirms that your first completion of the assessment yields the purest, most valid and most revealing information. The assessment measures the presence of talents by presenting you with a pair of statements, then asking you to make a top-of-mind choice between the two. There is a 20-second time limit for each statement pair so you don’t overthink your responses, thus ensuring the accuracy of the assessment.
Gallup scientists have been studying strengths for more than 40 years, and they find that people’s talents do not change significantly throughout their adult lives. Retaking the CliftonStrengths assessment might reveal a different order for some of your themes, but typically, any changes would reflect a minor rearrangement of your themes — not a major shift in your talents.
Gallup designed the CliftonStrengths assessment for individual development. It is not intended to direct you toward specific professions or careers. Although certain CliftonStrengths themes appear to be consistently dominant in certain professions, you do not need to have dominant talents in certain CliftonStrengths themes to be successful in a given profession.
During our research, Gallup discovered that many individuals can excel in the same profession but have very different top five themes. The best way to use your CliftonStrengths to guide your career is to determine how to apply your unique CliftonStrengths profile to whatever role or profession you choose.
