Gallup Test

The Gallup Test is a common name for the psychometric instrument CliftonStrengths, formerly called StrengthsFinder, developed by the Gallup Institute,[1] which forms the bulk of its revenue.[2][3][4] The test was invented by Don Clifton and is known also as the Gallup Strengths Assessment or Clifton Strengths Test.

It is an online personality-assessment tool that focuses on 34 themes that make up the user's personality; Gallup uses the tool as part of its consulting.[4][5]

The test is widely used when assessing candidates or considering employees for internal promotions.[6]

The 34 themes are divided into 4 categories:

- strategic thinking: Analytical, Context, Futuristic, Ideation, Input, Intellection, Learner and Strategic;

- relationship building: Adaptability, Connectedness, Developer, Empathy, Harmony, Includer, Individualization, Positivity, Relator;

- influencing: Activator, Command, Communication, Competition, Maximizer, Self-Assurance, Significance, Woo;

- Executing: Achiever, Arranger, Belief, Consistency, Deliberative, Discipline, Focus, Responsibility, Restorative.[7]
