Besides the Wii Fit, one of my favorite Christmas presents this year was a gift certificate to Barnes & Noble. I LOVE BOOKS! One of the business books I've been wanting to purchase is "Strengths Finder 2.0" by Tom Rath. It is supposed to be one of the best assessments out there for determining what your strengths and talents are. I wanted to take the assessment for myself and also learn more about it for my research on career coaching and potential future use on clients.
My top five strengths were:
Responsibility
Relator
Achiever
Individualization
Learner
I thought these were pretty accurate. One of the great things about the website (www.strengthsfinder.com) is that it allows you to set up an action plan related to your strengths. Although a little pricey at $20 (list price; it was less B & N with their bestseller discount and my membership discount), I think this is an assessment everyone should take. The price includes the book and access to the website which has a number of resources, so I think it's a good value.
More on this topic later.
