Did you know that once you complete the CliftonStrengths assessment, you can download your customized report called the Strengths Top 5, which not only provides a brief Shared Theme description for each of your top five talents, but also personalized Strengths insights uniquely generated based on how you answered the questions? Developed over decades spent studying millions of CliftonStrengths assessment results, these statements explain exactly how each of your talents makes you stand out from others with the same theme in their Top Five.

If you haven’t yet taken the assessment, make sure to do so before Orientation or your first coaching appointment – whichever comes first – and spend time reading through your Strengths Top 5 report. We recommend that you highlight or circle words and underline phrases that resonate with you and best describe you, as well as reflect on ways in which you may have used these natural talents throughout your life.

Becoming more self-aware of your interests, motivations, and strengths may enable you to have a clearer understanding of the steps you need to take as you plan and prepare for a meaningful career. To help build upon your self-awareness, Career Services requires you to complete the CliftonStrengths and CareerLeader self-assessments before you meet with your Career Coach.

The CliftonStrengths assessment uncovers which talents you rely on to build relationships, think strategically, execute plans, and influence others, to accomplish goals. Knowing your unique set of talents, you’re empowered to succeed by doing what you naturally do best.

The CareerLeader assessment was created at Harvard Business School and designed specifically for business students and professionals. This valuable tool will provide you with insight into your skills, motivators and interests, and will measure how similarly you answer a set of questions, compared to professionals who are happily employed in their fields.
