In the language of CliftonStrengths, there is a distinction between Talents vs. Strengths:

➡️ Talent

• It is an inherent and innate aspect of your being

• It is the recurring way you think, feel, or behave

• Because it is so natural, it can be hard to recognize

➡️ Strengths

• It is intentionally developed and observable

• It is the combination of talents, knowledge and skills

• It is the ability to consistently provide near perfect performance in a specific task

📝 The CliftonStrengths assessment measures the presence of talent in 34 general areas, or themes.

For example: if you have the CliftonStrength theme Learner® in your top five...

• This likely means you are drawn to the process of learning.

• You may like to sign up for courses just for the sake of it.

• Chances are you like to teach others on what you learned

(You may exhibit all these behavior, or some of it.)

📝 The CliftonStrengths themes near the top indicate your unique set of talents.

📝 When you invest in honing these talents into strengths, you unlock your greatest potential for excellence.
