 Talent x Investment = Strength 

Talents, founder Don Clifton wrote, are your "naturally recurring patterns of thought, feeling or behavior." They're the innate, natural abilities you can productively apply.

When Clifton studied human behavior, he noted hundreds of positive characteristics and saw that many of those characteristics had commonalities. Based on those common traits, he distilled them down into the 34 talent themes we know today. To identify the rank order of those 34 themes for yourself, take the CliftonStrengths assessment, which measures the presence of talents.

But to turn those talents into strengths, you must invest in them -- practice using them and add knowledge and skills to them.

 Talent

Talent is a natural way of thinking, feeling or behaving.

Investment

Investment is time spent practicing, developing your skills and building your knowledge base.

Strength
