Quality and Worth the Price

While not a cure-all, this book could be helpful to most people and especially beneficial to recent grads, job changers, and the mass of bored workers.

The concept of the book is: people spend too much time trying to fix their deficiencies and that's the wrong way to improve (the path of most resistance). We should be focusing on strengthing those talents that we have naturally. This is not a new concept, but the book outlines it clearly and with good examples.

The only value of the book, aside from a few short chapters, is the strengthsfinder access code. And this is pretty valuable. Strengthsfinder.com is a 30 minute quiz to determine your talents. After determining your top 5 talents the website creates an action plan for you. It's more than a basic personality test. I found it to be accurate, but your results may vary. The action plan was especially helpful to me. It gave me insights into my personality that I didn't see before. I suppose the best praise I can give it is I've recommended to my friends and family. I am also considering buying it for a few others in my office. It can't hurt and for a reasonable price it may help you understand yourself and others and make you more productive.

Read together with Now, Discover your strengths

It is relly uncanny, how dead on this test is. Use this to better understand yourself and put your strengths to work. Don't think you'll get step-by-step answers on "what to do next". But, if you are really interested in understanding yourself, and putting some effort forth to make changes for the better, then these are the books for you. I say books, because I read both the original "Now, Discover Your Strengths" and "Strengths Finder 2.0". I'm glad I did - "Now, Discover.." provides more information on the subject.

Uncanny Tool

My boss purchased this book and its associated personality test for our department. I was so impressed with its results that I purchased three copies for family and friends.

The book focuses on ways to identify and enhance your strengths rather than how to bring up your weaknesses. While both approaches have value, this book was the first to look at enhancing strengths. You purchase in all likelihood find the book an amazing and pleasant surprise.

Strengths Finder - Edition 2.0

What a great book! The concept of how we are encouraged and accept the idea of "being" a certain type of person "when we grow up" versus "who we really are" speaks volumes in the assessment test of this book's Gallop's test. My hat is off to the concept!StrengthsFinder 2.0: A New and Upgraded Edition of the Online Test from Gallup's Now, Discover Your Strengths
