Frequently Asked Question: Is It Officially Called StrengthsFinder, CliftonStrengths, or StrengthsFinder 2.0?
The assessment is officially known as CliftonStrengths to honor Donald Clifton, the psychologist who originally created the tool. We often still say "StrengthsFinder" because it's what our clients know and use. The book StrengthsFinder 2.0 is where many people get their codes, which is still the correct name of the book. It's so popular (I've heard that it's the #1 selling book on all of Amazon) that it creates an ongoing momentum for that name.
It gets crazier when people try to spell it. Where does the "S" go? Is it StrengthsFinder or StrengthFinders or StrengthsFinders? It's StrengthsFinder - think of it like the tool being the finder, so there's only one finder. Because you have many strengths, that part is plural.
Then combine the "S" question with whether it has a space. Is it Strengths Finder or Strengths Finders or Strength Finders? It's StrengthsFinder. It's all one word.
So think of it like this: CliftonStrengths is the formal name, while StrengthsFinder is a nickname and book name.
