Clifton Strengthsfinder [new] Free Test Site
: Purchasing the book StrengthsFinder 2.0 often includes a unique access code in the back for the Top 5 assessment [5.17, 5.31]. Libraries may have copies, but ensure the code hasn't already been used.
However, there are ways to identify your strengths without paying. Below is a helpful guide on how to approach this, including free alternatives and how to "hack" the discovery process.
Gallup employs a team of researchers and psychologists to maintain and validate the assessment. The fee (usually around $20 for the Top 5 or $50 for the full 34) pays for that ongoing research. These are usually phishing scams or unauthorized knock-offs that provide inaccurate results.
This is the gold standard in positive psychology. While CliftonStrengths focuses on talents (what you do well), VIA focuses on character (who you are).
