Intel is making a big push in career development. The reasons are obvious:
- Job satisfaction
- Employee retention
- Placing employees in positions where they will perform their best
- Etc.
As part of this effort, I recently attended an eight-hour course on career development for managers. Throughout the course, the book Strengths Finder 2.0 by Tom Rath was repeatedly mentioned. As in, it would have been best if everyone had read the book and taken the associated test before attending the course. Oh well. No time like the present.
I took the test tonight, with the following results.
- Input
- Intellection
- Adaptability
- Learner
- Arranger
Now I get to read the book and see what it all means.
Have you taken this test? Did it make any difference in your life?
