The CliftonStrengths assessment (formerly StrengthsFinder) is a popular tool identifying your top talents from 34 themes, praised for providing actionable insights to leverage what you do best for personal and professional growth, fostering a common language for teams, and offering deep, personalized reports. However, criticisms include potential neglect of weaknesses, the proprietary nature of its algorithm, and questions about long-term reliability and validity, with some finding results vague or inaccurate, though Gallup counters with strong validity claims.
