The CliftonStrengths® assessment was developed by the Gallup® organization and is based on 2 million interviews which derived 34 different themes that are consistent and prevalent themes of human talent or strengths.
After taking the assessment, individuals are assigned their top 5 strengths. These strengths fall into one of four domains. These domains describe how people and teams use their talents to work with information, make things happen, influence others, and build relationships.

Each theme within CliftonStrengths® gives you a way to describe what you naturally do best. Don Clifton asked: "What would happen if we studied what was right with people versus what's wrong with people?"
CliftonStrengths® follows the formula of Talent x Investment = Strength, meaning that to turn your natural talents into strengths, you have to invest in them by increasing your knowledge and skills.
