★★★★☆
It’s assessment based with code for online test.
The concept is excellent, and the eventual assessments I received is spot on. The actual meat is extremely useful. However...
Two important things:
1. You can purchase the assessment online directly.
2. The book itself does not provide you with tools to assess yourself. It’s a reference of classifications with action items that is useful to know.
The only thing that bothered me is that Gallup is trying to up sell the “new version” claiming that they provided “integrated” solutions for you, individualized based on their millions of data points. Let me tell you that is a total bull. They merely cut and pasted the sections from the same book, spiffed it up with a few action questions. Then they try to sell you their packages and that you need a coach.
They would have been just fine without that lame marketing.
Do not buy a used book if you want to take assessment test. It’s a one-time code inside a sealed document.
