The CliftonStrengths® for Students Report
CliftonStrengths for Students is a personalized report for college students who want to perform at their best. It shows how their top five strengths work together, where they create an advantage, where they might get in the way and how to achieve stronger student learning outcomes.
Personalized Insights for Strengths-Based Student Development
No two students are the same. This report reflects that with advice customized to each individual and grounded in strengths-based learning. Every student’s CliftonStrengths profile is 1-in-33-million, and this report is built to match. Every insight in this report reflects how their specific combination of strengths shows up in their life as a student.
Learn about the science of CliftonStrengths.
Insights built from how their strengths interact.
The report shows students how their CliftonStrengths influence one another and what that combination means for student growth.
A clear view of how they think, learn and grow.
A student's top five CliftonStrengths themes interact in ways that can be hard to see from the inside. CliftonStrengths for Students brings them together into a complete, honest picture of who each student is and where they're headed.
Written like a trusted adviser.
Direct and constructive, the report tells students where their strengths will help them thrive and where they might get in their way.
Honesty about what they need to watch out for.
Every strength has tradeoffs. This report identifies the real dynamics and consequences that can come with a student's strengths, helping them manage what might get in the way of their academic journey.
Actions are specific and situational.
Written to how each student learns, decides, and develops, they identify real scenarios in academics, relationships, and decisions, with steps drawn from each student's strengths.
No retake required.
The report builds on the student’s CliftonStrengths assessment results and discusses their top five strengths. If they already have their CliftonStrengths, they can simply upgrade. If not, they can take the assessment when they purchase the report.
