Strengths Finder 2.0 - Discover Your CliftonStrengths by Tom Rath
3.0
This book is a sort of primer/guidebook to go along with the Strengths Finder Gallup test online. There is a simple preface expressing the test's thesis that building on your strengths is a more constructive way to approach personal growth rather than focusing on your weaknesses. The rest of the book is short, bullet-pointed profiles of the 34 strengths.
Given its extremely brief nature, the only reason to buy the book is for the included one-time-only use access code for the test. Unfortunately, most of the information the book reveals about the strengths is just a regurgitation of the free articles offered online after you complete the test. Everything else is behind a paywall.
I'm not going to say "this is a scam," but I'm not NOT going to say it either. The test itself is interesting, but for $34 dollars, I really expect a lot more than essentially what you can get in more depth and for free from a number of online MBTI or Enneagram tests.
