What is CliftonStrengths?
CliftonStrengths is an assessment that helps you identify your natural patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. Your results give you language for the talents that already show up in how you learn, solve problems, connect with people, make decisions, and get things done.
Your strengths are not a box, label, or career assignment. They are a starting point for better self-awareness and more intentional growth.
Why take the assessment?
CliftonStrengths can help you better understand yourself and explain what you bring to classes, teams, interviews, internships, jobs, and leadership opportunities.
Explore career fit
Use your strengths as one lens for exploring majors, careers, internships, work environments, and next steps.
Talk about yourself
Find words for resumes, interviews, networking, mentoring conversations, and professional introductions.
Grow intentionally
Learn how to aim your talents toward goals instead of treating strengths as fixed traits or automatic outcomes.
What will I get?
After completing the assessment, you’ll receive a personalized report showing your Top 5 CliftonStrengths themes. These themes can help you start asking better questions about what energizes you, how you contribute, and how you can keep developing.
