| | How Does the SDI Compare to Clifton Strengths Finder? | | by Tim Scudder |
|
| | | | The S in SDI and CSA both stand for Strength. Same word, but vastly different meanings. Understanding how the two assessments define strength is key to understanding the differences between the assessments themselves.
Clifton Strengths is about individual talent. In this assessment, strengths refers to the behaviors that one person does well and that help them accomplish things.
The Strength Deployment Inventory is about personality and relationships. Strengths refers to behaviors that are deployed in service of underlying motives.
