Book Reviews of Living Your Strengths: Discover Your God-Given Talents and Inspire Your Community
Book Review: Just OK
Summary: 3 Stars
My moms group at our parish decided to get these books and do the strengthfinders quiz, mostly out of curiosity to understand ourselves and each other better. So I've taken the quiz and was given my top five strengths, and read the book. To be brutially honest (which, by the way, is one of my top five strengths!), much like an astrology report, it seems most anyone could randomly flip open the book to one of the 34 strengths and say "yeah, that sounds a bit like me." Conversly, at least one of my five is not very much like me, and actually directly contradicts one of my others. The idea beind the "top five" really pigeonholes otherwise well-rounded people; and, by the way, the book says being well-rounded is equal to being down-right dull.
I also feel this book and test offers little insight to oneself as to what your strengths are. If you are aquainted with yourself at all, you already know that you may or may not enjoy, say, public speaking. You don't need this test to confirm what you already know. Most of what you learn is not going to be a suprise. It may be easier for a large organization like Gallup to screen applicants with this test rather than sit down and ask each applicant his/her talents, it is also unfair in that I think most people will have many more than five talents, and may not even use their "top five" very much.
