I have already taken Clifton StrengthsFinder 1.0. Should I take version 2.0 of the assessment?

It's up to you. While we have fine-tuned the new assessment to be slightly faster and more accurate, the language of 34 themes remains the same. So if you have taken StrengthsFinder 1.0, your results remain as valid as they were when you originally completed the assessment.

If you have taken StrengthsFinder 1.0, and you decide to take the new version, you may find that a few of your top five themes are different than they were the first time. If you compare your version 1.0 results to your version 2.0 results, there's a strong chance that at least three of your top five themes will remain the same. And in most cases, at least four themes will appear in your top five both times.

Perhaps the most important thing to understand for your development is that if you do see a new theme in your top five, it was likely in your top 10 before. So you have not "lost" a theme, but instead now have the opportunity to see a theme or two that had been hiding just below the radar
