Do you know your CliftonStrengths(r) results already or are you planning to?

Hi there!Let's see if we have anyone interested in this topic?FOR THOSE WHO KNOW THEIR STRENGTHS ALREADY:Hi! :) Please share your Top 5/10 if you want, and share a story of where you are with them, do you apply them already in practice, did the result change anything for you?FOR THOSE WHO DIDN'T DO THE ASSESSMENT YET:I used to be a freak on the subject of productivity and growth, so I've tried literally every assessment-like tool. (I've always believed there is no good advice for everyone since we vary in our natural inclinations a lot, so knowing self is the first critical step). Only CliftonStrengths Assessment (by Gallup) made a life changing difference for me (and still continuing to do so) and the whole huge knowledge base available after doing the test. Highly recommend it! It directly addresses every important soft-skill area: productivity, influence, strategy, relationships and also leadership.I'm now #1 advocate for this tool and I don't start any work in any new team without forcing everyone to do the test and to have team analysis time around the results :DIf you give it a try, here's what I highly recommend before doing the assessment (this is based on my own observation of tens of people doing it, it's not any official advice from the creators of the tool)- Prepare a bigger time slot for yourself, when nothing, not even phone notifications will disrupt the process. Questions are on time (22sec for each AFAIR) and are anything but obvious :D- Do it in a native language (they offer almost every language in the world)- Do it when you're relatively focused and awake :) (not necessarily at night)HAVE FUN :) I'm almost jealous for everyone doing the test for the first time: and for the aha-moments after starting to play with the results.
