At U Career Success, we offer many resources to help you identify and use your strengths.
One of the most highly regarded tools we have to help you get started is the CliftonStrengths assessment from the Gallup organization. You can order the CliftonStrengths assessment through the University at a reduced price of $15.00. The online assessment takes about 45 minutes to complete. You'll read 177 statements and choose how accurately each statement describes you.

When you're done, the test will categorize the results into 34 different CliftonStrengths themes and you will receive an in-depth, personalized report highlighting your Top Five strengths. The report explains why your strengths are unique and how they can help you succeed in your education and career goals.
By focusing on your own strengths, you can:
- Discover career opportunities that might be a good fit for you
- Stand out to employers in the application process
- Improve your overall quality of life and help you succeed
