• It's just what you give them
  I suppose if there is some value in confirming what you already knew, then Strength's Finder has some value. It doesn't cost that much, so it is worth the money just to confirm what you already know about your self. Nothing new. After I did the survey and read the results, I doubt I will ever look at it again.

• Don't waste your time
  Total waste of time. Many/most of the "strengths" they list are contradictory, overlapping or basically unscientific.

• Good idea - Terrible execution
  The book is a good read but being able to take the online assessment is critical. In my case, I've been shunted off to the Japanese version (I live in Japan) despite English being my native language.

  What a waste of money! I'll never buy another book from this publisher again.
