StrengthsFinder 2.0 - just okay by A. K. Crews (Atlanta, GA)

Several other reviewers said that the book is useless without the code to access the assessment tool. I disagree - I thought the assessment tool was useless and got just as much out of reading the different descriptions in the book. The assessment provides two statements and asks you to choose between them as well as how strongly you associate with your choice. I felt that many of the choices were false dichotomies, the two options were not opposites and many times I agreed equally and strongly about both statements. You'd be better off asking your spouse, friends or colleagues what your strengths are. Don't waste your money on this book.

A good general review of our strengths, but it would be more helpful if the test results also included our five biggest weaknesses.
