The CliftonStrengths for Students personality inventory results in a summary of an individual’s top five strengths. This presentation will describe how I came to embed CliftonStrengths in an Introduction to Interpreting course to allow students to a) get affirmation of their strengths, and b) assess their fitness for the interpreting profession. I will show how a student assignment requiring CliftonStrengths is preceded by a lecture on research related to the traits and attributes of successful interpreters. The prompts for the student assignment will be shared with participants. Participants will see examples of student responses to the assignment. I will then show how student strength profiles can give an instructor insights into how the student will fare in subsequent interpreting skills courses as well as other requirements of an interpreting curriculum, including their practicum component. Practical aspects of CliftonStrengths, such as cost and ease of access will be looked at.

Participants will be able to:
- locate the CliftonStrengths for Students tool online;
- review a sample assignment that incorporates the CliftonStrengths tool;
- make predictions of student success when shown sample Strengths profiles.
