Strengths Finder 2.0 is an important book that could change the world.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 29 April 2016

I love these insights based on research and I like the book a lot.

Strengths Finder 2.0 is a book that unpacks firstly the philosophy behind Strengths Based approaches to work and life, but then helps you to identify and explain your own strengths. In this way, the hope is that you can live and work from your strengths and understand how to better develop them.

You don't read the book and pick what you think your strengths are. Each book gives you a one time code to take the Strengths Finder assessment. A set of questions that you answer on line and the assessment tool will then identify your top five strengths.

You can then use the remainder of the book to study the strength and how you might develop each one.

The book is fairly well written, although I found the explanations lacking at times and sometimes I found the suggestions to be half baked. Though there is a LOT to work on all the same.

I think that the reader needs to realise that the book is just the doorway into a much larger world. The assessment tool and the reports it generates is where the deeper insights will come. Once you have registered and answered the questions you are e-mailed report that is tailored to you.

There is also a network of trainers who can come and work with teams to help them identify their strengths and find new ways to work together based upon the individual strengths of team members. I think that Strengths Finder 2.0 will be a revelation for many people and I have benefited from it personally. It has really helped me in my personal development and helped me to understanding what makes me tick. Not only that, but that I can celebrate my strengths and not apologise for them - rather, it is important to find places to express them fully.

I also believe that the encouragement to work to your strengths rather than try and fix your weaknesses is a game changer!

Strengths Finder 2.0 is an important book that could change the world.

Of very limited use and then they want you to buy more

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 7 February 2023

If you have no idea what your strengths are you may find this useful. But I found it told me what I already know. You complete a timed questionnaire online to get your results. Access is via a code. So you need a new copy of the book, or the code is likely to have been used. I did get a Kindle version at first but there was no code and so Amazon gave a refund and I got the physical book. I then had about 5 pages of report telling me my strengths but the website lists all these additional reports you can get for a price. Felt it was rather a con for the price. There are free tests online that tell you just as much. The book itself goes into a little more detail on all the areas that can come up.

Not a bad example of its kind

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 10 January 2016

Verified Purchase

Bought this as part of an initiative at work. You are essentially buying an enthusiastic introduction and an access code for an online quiz. The quiz follows the usual pattern in which each of the 177 questions asks you to choose somewhere between two statements that are mostly related but not mutually exclusive (e.g. 'do you like fish or fishing?'). You are given 20 seconds for each question, you may miss questions if you run out of time so make sure you have an undisturbed half hour. You may only take the quiz once. This stops you from checking their assertion that the outcomes remain reasonably stable over time (unless you buy another book). The results are processed in about 2 minutes on line into a report that comes in long and short versions and which you can save in PDF. The report highlights five (out of about 35) strengths that your answers indicate that you think you have. The report is fluently written which somewhat conceals the rather obvious fact that it is an automated assemblage of pre-prepared statements. It also includes some pre-prepared suggestions for what kind of work would suit you, some interesting, some hilarious.

So is it any good? Well you need to bear in mind that the report is simply reflecting back at you what you have 'told' the machine through your choices. So it is not really surprising that you will probably agree with most of it. If you are deluded in thinking that you are outgoing or analytical or empathetic or whatever then you will answer accordingly and you will then agree with your deluded self when you read the report; it will not independently reveal any hidden inner truth, how can it? At work, we hope simply to use it as a way to beginning conversations about what we are good at, or being able to say "I really enjoy X type of work" with a veneer of independent analysis. For that, it is probably good. For anything more, you will need proper psychoanalysis by a real person who pretends to care.

I read pretty much all the reviews before I purchased it

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 12 May 2018

I read pretty much all the reviews before I purchased it. And yes I wanted it for the test. Yet another one, shall I say. For over the years I tried many. I've got a degree in Education, Pedagogy and Social Work. I'm a qualified life coach. Tests are created by people and well, we don't always know it all. So I always take it with a pinch of salt. Like someone before said - all the tests give you some food for thought. Some of them puzzle you - how the hell I'm going to start working in broadcasting after being in a completely different career for so many years??? But this test put a big smile on my face. Why? I'm just trying to figure it out myself. Probably because it really does focus on your strengths whilst cleverly and tactically provides the insight into making the best out of them. I love the way it explains things - both videos and reports gave me a ready to use wording how to talk (and think!) about myself. And an action plan, too. It basically vocalised things I struggle to vocalise myself - giving me confidence that I'm going in the right direction and valuable answer as to - against all the logic - I choose what I choose to do and where to be (in life and career). I've got a kindle version (on android) and it came with a code straight away. Allocate about half an hour, focus and enjoy. I hope you get out of it as much as I did.
