CliftonStrengths Assessment

The CliftonStrengths for Students report helps you see how your unique talents can bring clarity to your life and help you thrive academically, socially, and in your future career.

Why Take the Assessment?

Discover your top five CliftonStrengths themes, get instructions for using your personalized report, today and in the future, learn how your strengths contribute to your success (and how your strengths could get in the way of your success!), and access a practical outline for achieving your goals.

After taking the assessment (free for Smith students), schedule a “Review My CliftonStrengths Top 5 Results” appointment in Handshake to debrief your unique strengths and create a personalized action plan.

Are you a member of a student organization, athletic team, or leadership group/club on campus looking for a team-building and development tool?
