What's the differences between StrengthsFinder and TraitLab?

The StrengthsFinder 2.0, also known as Gallup CliftonStrengths, is an assessment of situational themes, or strengths, related to workplace performance.

TraitLab is a platform that integrates several personality models, including a model of 24 character strengths, to help you understand your personality, career interests, interpersonal style, and unique advantages.

TraitLab includes a rich description of your unique strengths, as well as details on your personality traits, interests, and much more.
How it works

Discover your untapped strengths

Learn about your unique stack of 24 character strengths and where you naturally feel engaged and enthusiastic. Then, identify techniques to exercise and apply your top strengths in everyday life.

Unlike StrengthsFinder 2.0, TraitLab uses a strengths system that appears in hundreds of peer-reviewed research publications on well-being, personality, and psychological development.

Explore new career paths

StrengthsFinder 2.0 results are not specific to a particular career or type of occupation, making it difficult to use your results to compare potential jobs or career paths.

With TraitLab, you can easily compare your profile across hundreds of occupations, learn about your relative strengths in each of them, and better understand the trade-offs and opportunities behind different career paths.

TraitLab uses your career interest profile and occupational data to allow you to search potential career paths, while the StrengthsFinder 2.0 provides more general strength-based guidance that is not tailored to any specific occupational area.

Learn about your personality

There's a lot more to your personality than strengths. TraitLab provides an in-depth guide of your unique blend of traits, using a system of over 40 personality dimensions.

Unlike StrengthsFinder 2.0, TraitLab's comprehensive approach combines a science-based personality framework with analyses of your strengths, interests, and interpersonal style.

Frequently asked questions

How is TraitLab different from other personality assessments?

Most online assessments are not based on real published research, so you can't connect your results to useful information about habits, career choices, relationships, and other practical aspects of your life.

TraitLab uses assessments and concepts from actual scientific research, then makes it easy to see how your results relate to important life areas.

How long is the TraitLab test?

Most people will start seeing their first results after about 10 minutes (about 100 questions).

If you want to see every possible result from TraitLab, the full assessment can take anywhere from 30-90 minutes. However, you can always save your progress and take the assessment across several sittings.

Can I retake the assessment?

Yes! With TraitLab Plus, you can reset your profile and results every 30 days from your account settings.

How can I purchase TraitLab Plus for someone else?

With your TraitLab Plus, account, you can purchase invite codes for clients, teammates, and anyone else you think might benefit from TraitLab.

Visit the Invites section, where you can send invite codes to others, see when they've been redeemed, and collaborate on assessment results.

Can I share my results with someone else?

Absolutely! If you want to share and compare your results with anyone, you can simply share your public profile.
