What is Gallup StrengthsFinder?
All incoming students are provided a copy of StrengthsQuest , a text written specifically for college students by Dr. Edward “Chip” Anderson and Dr. Donald O. Clifton in which an ID code allows them access to the StrengthsFinder assessment. As seniors, students continue to integrate their strengths into their daily lives and increase their understanding of them. In the senior capstone course, students are encouraged to organize themselves into work groups based on their strengths and are challenged to complete major projects using their top five strengths. All faculty, staff and administrators at Greenville have been encouraged to take the StrengthsFinder. The President’s “Cabinet” and Greenville’s Board of Trustees have also spent time working with the StrengthsFinder. Approximately 20 faculty and administrative staff have been trained by Gallup as strengths “coaches” and are available to work with students individually.
