I hope you enjoy,

Get Lit-eraryEp.12 StrengthsFinder 2.0 by Tom RathThis episode combines a short bit about the book, which actually reads like an infomercial for their assessment and my results of a similar assessment I found online for free called High 5 and the results of a couple other assessments I've taken about myself. The book is really just 31 pages of infomercial style writing, the rest of the book details the 30+ possible strengths you have as natural talents, most of which won't apply to you. You can take these assessments to get more insight on yourself as a person and worker. Good luck!
