CliftonStrengths is an online assessment that measures an individual’s natural ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving, otherwise known as talent patterns. It’s like your own personal talent DNA, found in no other person on the planet! At CDI, each employee completes the assessment so that we can honor each person’s strengths and learn how to collaborate effectively.

By focusing on talent and developing our most natural behaviors, we find the best path to incredible, unstoppable strengths—defined as the ability to deliver consistent excellence in each area. People find deep joy and fulfillment when they discover the perfect fit where their talent aligns with their organizations, families, and even the world’s greatest needs.
