Key StrengthsFinder Concepts
Talent vs. Strength
A talent is a natural way of thinking, feeling or behaving. A strength is the ability to consistently provide near-perfect performance in a specific activity by productively applying your talents.
Four Domains
The 34 themes are grouped into four domains: Executing, Influencing, Relationship Building, and Strategic Thinking. Your top strengths likely span multiple domains.
Signature Themes
Your top 5 themes are called your Signature Themes. These are your most dominant talents that, when developed, become your greatest strengths.

FAQ: StrengthsFinder Assessment
Can my strengths change over time?
Your core talents remain relatively stable, but you can develop them into stronger strengths through practice and application.
What if I don't like one of my top strengths?
Sometimes we undervalue our natural talents because they come easily to us. Consider how this strength might actually be serving you in ways you haven't recognized.
How is this different from personality tests?
While personality tests describe how you're likely to behave, StrengthsFinder identifies what you naturally do best and how you can excel.
Should I work on my weaknesses?
The strengths philosophy suggests focusing first on maximizing your strengths, then managing (not necessarily fixing) weaknesses by partnering with others or developing systems.
How long does the test take?
Our version takes about 10-15 minutes to complete. The official assessment typically takes 30-45 minutes.
