Amazon.com: Customer reviews: CliftonStrengths for Students

I was skeptical about buying this book. I didn't know if it came with the code because I need it for a class and almost all of the reviews didn't say if it was brought with the book. I can tell you that if you buy the hardcover, it will bring the code!

Great for figuring out your academic or blue-collar path

This is such a wonderful tool for helping young people understand their own pedagogical (or VoTech)desires. The qualities that are cataloged helped the college bound young adults that I am mentoring reflect on their short lives, on behaviors and quirks and odd feelings they had around peers, and grasp new insights into their own perspective towards education. Finding out that you highly value a small set of traits that most other people don’t value in the same way can be uniquely powerful for them, since only a few people on the planet share that strengths profile in the same order of passion, and can help them understand their perspective and deep values, and help them understand the needs of their fellow community members at a much more resonant level. The non college bound protégé is my favorite, because he embodies the final verse of “Golddigger” by Kanye ft. J.Foxx- “he got that ambition baby, look in his eyes, this week he sweeping floors, next week it’s the fries”. He has zero desire for college but his Achiever and Responsibility means that he can reach a pretty good life by pursuing his current passion for food and service.

No code sent

Bought for school and got no code which was the main reason I bought it. Other than the code it’s not very helpful.

Not Much Substance

Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

To start, I'm annoyed that I had to purchase this book for a required course for my undergraduate degree. For one, I think the class is a waste of money, two, this doesn't bring a lot to the table for older people who already have established careers and probably took personality testing like this at some point for their job.

That being said, I wish I had just purchased the code to take the test, I would have saved a few bucks. There's really not a whole lot of substance once you get past taking the assessment. It's not going to tell you what you should be when you grow up, or how to achieve success or greatness, it's mainly just for self-awareness.

And with that, there are so many great online resources and personality tests for free, all it takes is a few minutes to look them up. And they can provide more information for you beyond what this book can provide. I think this would be good for a high schooler, maybe as preparation for attending college. Just to see, what kind of person am I what is going to motivate me.

It's not a terrible book, I think I'm probably just above the age range for it to be helpful to me.

Turns into Useless Trash after the Key is Used

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2023

Verified Purchase

This book has very little applicable substance for a modern student. Written by someone so far removed and detached from a real students life, the book reads more like a self improvement book of observations and colloquial knowledge than something applicable in today's educational landscape.

Clifton is a modern proverbial educational slumlord. The book essentially is garbage after the one time key in the back is used, but don't worry their website takes credit cards to allow online work.

For my future classes I will obtain specifically Clifton books freely online or borrow and scan their books from other students to deny them any of my money I can as a single consumer. If one other person does it, then this post has been worth my time. Cheers.

Kindle version does NOT come with an access code

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2022

Verified Purchase

I bought this due to a class requirement which includes the access code. I do all my reading on kindle so I don't necessarily regret the purchase, but it did not come with the access code for the assessment. Keep in mind if you buy the kindle version you will have to purchase an access code separately.
