CLIFTON STRENGTHFINDER TEST

The CliftonStrengths (formerly StrengthsFinder) test is a tool that helps you uncover your natural talents and strengths—the ways you are uniquely wired to think, act, and serve. While the test itself isn’t biblical, it is effective because it’s based on decades of research into human behavior and patterns of success. Understanding your strengths can help you steward the abilities God has given you, grow personally, and serve others more effectively in your daily life and ministry.
