The aim of many educators is to help youth reach their maximum potential. The Clifton Youth StrengthsExplorer gives teachers a tool to help identify the talents of their students, as well as actionable suggestions for utilizing those talents. Such information can help teachers to individualize the ways in which they respond to youths, and the manner in which they can teach most effectively. In addition, it provides teachers and parents a common language, goals, and sets of action, all based on the unique talents of youth. The Gallup Organization, best known for its polls, has been involved in the measurement of human talents for several decades. Under the leadership of educational psychologist Donald O. Clifton, Gallup developed the Clifton StrengthsFinder, a Web-based talent assessment for adults. This article presents the goals of the StrengthsExplorer, which are as follows: (1) help youths identify their positive characteristics; (2) help youths improve their understanding of self; (3) help youths develop from their areas of greatest talent; (4) improve parents'/instructors' understanding of their children/students; (5) provide an opportunity for an important kind of communication between parents and their children (i.e., discussion of one's unique nature, the positive characteristics/gifts that one has, and how those can be developed); and (6) provide the theme-based language that youths and parents/ instructors could use to discover and describe positive characteristics. Among other things discussed in this article are the themes as to how the assessment measures talent, such as: (1) presence; (2) confidence; (3) competing; (4) relating; (5) achieving; (6) future thinker; (7) caring; (8) discoverer; (9) organizer; and (10) dependability.
