CliftonStrengths For A Business Analyst | Be You

After completing the assessment, you’ll receive a comprehensive StrengthsFinder or CliftonStrengths report.

This report delves into your top strengths, providing you with an in-depth understanding of these strengths. It explains why these strengths are unique to you, how they can aid your success, and ways to maximise your potential by harnessing these strengths in various aspects of your life.

Typically, organisations that hold these assessments provide two types of CliffordStrengths lists.

One of these features your top 5 CliftonStrengths, properly ranked. These are talents that make you stand out among the others and things that you naturally do best. The second type of report features your top 34 CliftonStrengths, which means that it ranks all the themes from the method.

Usually, this report also features recommendations for further counselling and training so you can maximise your strengths and leverage the results for future success.

According to Gallup, the developer of the CliftonStrengths method, the five most common strengths are responsibility, achiever, learner, relator, and strategic. On the other hand, the five rarest strengths are self-assurance, command, discipline, significance, and context. 

It’s worth noting that the combination of strengths for every individual is extremely unique, as the likelihood of finding two people with the same talents in the same order is one in 34 million. This makes the entire approach even more valuable.

Some organisations, such as IIBA-endorsed education provider Business Analysis Excellence, offer CliffordStrengths-based workshops that are specifically geared toward business analysts and combine the Gallup approach with the basic concepts of business analysis as laid out in the BABOK guide.
