How long does it take to complete the CliftonStrengths assessment?
The CliftonStrengths assessment takes approximately 30 minutes to complete on average.
Is the CliftonStrengths assessment timed?
Yes. The CliftonStrengths assessment asks users to choose between two paired statements. There are 177 total statement pairs. For each statement pair, the user has 20 seconds to respond. This time limit and their unfamiliarity with the statements ensure the assessment’s accuracy by reducing the likelihood that users will overthink their responses.
If users have a reading disability, you can call Gallup Customer Support at 1-888-486-9104 to have the assessment timer disabled.
How do I distribute the CliftonStrengths for Students Top 5 access codes I purchased for multiple people?
Once you sign in to your account at www.strengthsquest.com, you can export a .csv file containing unique, one-time-use codes to send to each individual.
Can I retake the CliftonStrengths assessment? Will taking it more than once affect my results?
Gallup does not recommend taking the CliftonStrengths assessment more than once.
Our research confirms that your first completion of the assessment yields the purest, most valid and most revealing information. The assessment measures the presence of talents by presenting you with a pair of statements, then asking you to make a top-of-mind choice between the two. There is a 20-second time limit for each statement pair so you don’t overthink your responses, thus ensuring the accuracy of the assessment.
Gallup scientists have been studying strengths for more than 40 years, and they find that people’s talents do not change significantly throughout their adult lives. Retaking the CliftonStrengths assessment might reveal a different order for some themes, but typically, any changes would reflect a minor rearrangement of your themes -- not a major shift in your talents.
Can the CliftonStrengths assessment reveal whether I have the right major or am on the right career path?
Gallup designed the CliftonStrengths assessment for individual development. It is not intended to direct people toward specific professions, careers or areas of study. Although certain CliftonStrengths themes appear to be consistently dominant in certain professions, you do not need to have dominant talents in certain CliftonStrengths themes to be successful in a given profession.
During our research, Gallup discovered that many individuals can excel in the same profession but have very different top five themes. The best way to use CliftonStrengths for career guidance is to determine how to apply your unique CliftonStrengths profile to whatever role or profession you choose.
