What are you at your best at?

40 statements about what comes naturally to you at work, at home and with other people. Your answers give a score for eight strengths and name your top one.

40 statements, no time limit

Before you start

Take the test somewhere quiet where you won't be interrupted.

  • Tap one of five answers for each statement. There are no right or wrong answers.
  • Answer for how you usually are, not how you would like to be. Your first reaction is usually best.
  • You can go back to check or change an answer. The last question asks your age group.
  • There's no time limit, so take the time you need.

What you get a score for

  • Curiosity. Wanting to know how things work, asking questions and learning for the fun of it.
  • Drive. Setting goals, working hard toward them and finishing what you start.
  • Creativity. Coming up with new ideas, new ways of doing things and making something of your own.
  • Leadership. Taking charge, organizing people and helping a group decide and move forward.
  • Kindness. Noticing what people need and helping, generously and without being asked.
  • Focus and order. Planning ahead, keeping things organized and paying close attention to detail.
