Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the official VIA or StrengthsFinder test? ▼
No. The 24-strength classification comes from published research (Peterson and Seligman). The official VIA Survey and Gallup CliftonStrengths are licensed products. This is an original informal quiz.
Why only five? ▼
A usable week cannot optimize twenty-four things. The bars show the rest. Read the second tier if two scores are close.
How is this different from values or DISC? ▼
Values are what you protect. Strengths are how you tend to act when you are at your best. DISC is workplace pace. Use more than one lens.
