Gallup Test
(Redirected from CliftonStrengths)
The Gallup Test is a common name for the psychometric instrument CliftonStrengths, formerly called StrengthsFinder, developed by the Gallup Institute,[1] which forms the bulk of its revenue.[2][3][4] The test was invented by Don Clifton and is known also as the Gallup Strengths Assessment or Clifton Strengths Test.
It is an online personality-assessment tool that focuses on 34 themes that make up the user's personality; Gallup uses the tool as part of its consulting.[4][5]
The test is widely used when assessing candidates or considering employees for internal promotions.[6]
The 34 themes are divided into 4 categories:
- strategic thinking: Analytical, Context, Futuristic, Ideation, Input, Intellection, Learner, Strategic;
- relationship building: Adaptability, Connectedness, Developer, Empathy, Harmony, Includer, Individualization, Positivity, Relator;
- influencing: Activator, Command, Communication, Competition, Maximizer, Self-assurance, Significance, Woo;
- executing: Achiever, Arranger, Belief, Consistency, Deliberative, Discipline, Focus, Responsibility, Restorative.[7]
