Curious what your #CliftonStrengths are @Chris , have you ever taken the test?

Haven't heard of it, is it worth taking? How similar is it to Meyers-Briggs or Big5?

1. I’ve personally found incredible value in it .. 2. It’s not a typical personality test as the axiom it rests on is different .. normal personality tests are descriptive whereas CSF is focused on finding and developing your superpowers

You got the CliftonStrengths 34 or the Top 5 CliftonStrengths?

I self-assessed (because that’s the type of person I am 🤣). My top strengths are Adaptability, Intellection, Relator, Self-Assurance, Maximizer, Arranger

For you I’d recommend the top 5. Getting the full 34 will be useful too

“Autonomy, purpose, and mastery are muscles that need to be exercised. When they atrophy, you feel numb and it’s easier to slip into a routine of consuming than to restart using those muscles.” -- brilliantly put, Chris. I really enjoyed reading this piece. It’s full of positives and optimism and possibilities. Great job.

Thanks Silvio!
