DESCRIPTION:
Was not what I hoped for I read this b/c a friend/coworker had recommended it. I wasn't really happy in my job, it was definitely not right for me, but I was unsure where to go next or what would be best to pursue. I bought the book, and took the test. I found the test kind of odd. It would present two choices like 'I'm the kind of person who loves caring for animals' and 'I'll stop at nothing to close a sale', and you have to choose which fit.

In developing this program, Gallup has conducted psychological profiles with more than two million individuals to help readers learn how to focus and perfect these themes. With accessible and profound insights on how to turn talents into strengths, and with the immediate on-line feedback of StrengthsFinder at its core, Now, Discover Your Strengths is one of the most groundbreaking and useful business books ever written. At the heart of the book is the Internet-based StrengthsFinder® Profile, the product of a 25-year, multimillion-dollar effort to identify the most prevalent human strengths.
