What strengths assessments do you offer, and who are they for?
We offer a variety of research-backed strengths assessments—StrengthsExplorer® (ages 10–14), CliftonStrengths® for Students (15+), CliftonStrengths® Top 5, CliftonStrengths® Full 34—and specialised reports for managers, leaders and sales professionals, all designed to support growth and development at every stage.
Why do strengths-based assessments work?
Grounded in over five decades of behavioural science and positive-psychology research, these assessments deliver measurable results—boosting sales, profit and engagement while reducing turnover—and equip individuals (from students to executives) with self-awareness, confidence and clearer communication for better decisions and sustained growth.
How do strengths-based assessments “unlock what’s already strong within you”?
Built on positive psychology, strengths assessments reveal your natural patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving—highlighting your unique talents. By intentionally developing these natural gifts into focused strengths, you enhance engagement, foster resilience and elevate well-being—empowering you to excel and contribute meaningfully.
Why choose strengths-based assessments over personality tests?
Personality tests confine you to fixed categories—strengths-based assessments instead reveal and develop your unique talents, enhancing self-awareness, engagement and measurable performance.
