 Great Tool November 16, 2008
I have used this book/test many times and believe it to be a real tool for helping individuals and groups focus on strengths rather than weaknesses. There is a Proverb in the Bible that says something like, "Do you see a man skilled in his work?" In other words, the best at what he/she does? "That man will stand before kings."
The premise of focusing on the gifts God has specifically given you and teaming up with others so they can use their strengths where you are weak is how I believe God meant things to be.
Must Read November 12, 2008
If you have not done anything like this before then try this book. It is really just a quick activity (20min of reading/30min online test/20min post test review) that could change your life direction if you let it. The concept is simple...you cannot fix your weaknesses so focus on you positives... It gives you some guidance on how to work on the natural talents you have to make you a better person overall. Great read/activity for anyone!
 Recomend the online test - not the book November 4, 2008
I enjoyed the online test and I'm very disappointed that the only way to take the online test is to purchase the book. Just about everything in the book is online. I'd like to have all my staff take the test but refuse to purchase that many books. I'm not sure why you cannot purchase a key to take the test only. For this reason (waste of resources) I would not reccomend it.
Waste of money October 31, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I didn't find anything special about the book. The professor wanted us to do the test, so we did, and I don't need the book anymore. It is frustrating because you have to buy it new to do the test and you can't sell it to anybody. What a waste of money and paper!!! Gready authors and publishers: please think about the environment at least!
Strengths Finder 2.0 excellent October 31, 2008
Thanks so much for Strengths Finder 2.0. It is an excellent foundation for all who read. It is a way people can know their strengths and then build on them. We are using this as a stepping stone for everyone at our organization. I can't wait until everyone has read and used it here. It's an easy read and a must for anyone wanting to increase teamwork and get staff involved.
