Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - DO NOT BUY USED
While the cover picture shown on this item does not say it, when I received my book, there is a note saying "Do Not Buy Used." This is because there is an online ID code that can only be used by one person. If you are only intersted in the book, it shouldn't be a problem. For my class, I have to complete the online portion and the company website charges an additional $20 for a new code. If you've made this same mistake, the website to get a new code is: http://www.strengthsquest.com/schoolaccess/


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Utter rubbish
This book is complete bull. So is the test, which asks things like whether you look to the past or the future, and then tells you (surprise!) whether you look to the past or the future (although it tells you in the kind of convoluted "mystical" language usually found in horoscopes). I'm sure the people who designed this make a killing, but this "method" is about as useful as an online novelty personality test or a horoscope. Yes, it is important to recognize your strengths. No, this will not tell you what they are. Save your money if you can, because this book is impossible to resell for more than a few cents.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Less than we expected
This delivered less than expected, as validated with the low market price for the used books.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great for Adults and Advisors
As a college educator, I found the strengths test fascinating. Like many others, I was surprised and, at first, skeptical about the results of the inventory. As I read the book, though, I learned more and appreciated how the qualities identified by Gallup had helped me throughout my career or impeded my progress when my strengths were not a good fit with institutional culture. I have recommended the book to many peers, and find myself bringing up the content frequently in conversations.

As a resource for high school or college students, I am less apt to recommend the book without also recommending a guidance process. In early college development, many youth have not had enough life experience to understand their interests or environments enough to understand the broad recommendations of the author. With more personal guidance from a mentor or advisor who has also read the book, there is potential for ... Read More
