How would you like to meet someone who thinks and feels things just like you? Strengths Twins are two people with the same Top 5 CliftonStrengths® themes, in any order.
How many people have found their Strengths Twin?
The CliftonStrengths® assessment, formally StrengthsFinder®, identifies our Top 5 talent themes. These are the things we naturally do well. Focusing on our best talents enables us to be more effective and lead more fulfilled lives. See CliftonStrengths® for additional information about the 34 themes.
The chances of two people having the same Top 5 themes in any order are statistically 1 in 278,256. Even more incredible, two people having the same Top 5 themes in the same order is 1 in 33 million (33,390,720).
Human nature is far more complex than the 5 words we receive from the assessment. We are all unique with our different backgrounds and life experiences. However, some people share the same Top 5 themes.
Are you looking for Strengths Twin to deepen your understanding of your themes? Someone with the same combination of themes as you will share the same struggles in similar situations. Learn how to make the most of your strengths together, overcome your fears and strive to be your best.
What are my Chances?
People in over 100 different countries are searching for their Strengths Twin. As more register, the chances of finding someone with the same top 5 themes increase. Currently, the chance for those registering to discover their Strengths Twin is an incredible 1 in 3. That’s right, on average, every third person who registers finds their Strengths Twin!
Launched in August 2017, we are discovering several groups of Strengths Twins weekly. There is one group of 33 people who all share the same top 5 themes – they are all in the Strategic Thinking domain.
We have also found 15 pairs with the same top 5 themes in the same order. Are these Identical Strengths Twins?

How does it work?
After registering your themes, you will receive an email confirmation. We run the process weekly to identify matches for Strengths Twins, then we will contact you with the result.
When we discover your Strengths Twin, we will contact you and your Strengths Twin. You will both be able to see each other’s email addresses. It is then up to you how much you connect with each other, we leave that conversation with you.
If we don’t find a match, we’ll send you a special message describing how unique your top 5 themes are.
What is it like to find your Strengths Twin?
Linda Jones, a Gallup Certified Strengths coach in the UK, describes how she found her Strengths Twin.
When I registered to find my CliftonStrengths® Twins many months ago, I had little expectation of finding my twin. To my surprise, one dull morning I received a message from April Ford, my Clifton DNA twin all the way from the USA.
It was a bit like a ‘Long Lost Family’ moment. We were both so excited and exchanged several messages and photos on Facebook, and Linkedin on our family and work background. Then when we came to meet each other for the first time. It was such a fascinating moment where I found someone who thinks, feels and reacts just like me! It was so bizarre but in a really nice way!
We talked about how we love our strengths and our blind spots where we need to be extra careful. It was so much fun. April shared that she doesn’t have any sisters but now feels like she has gained a twin sister! April hopes to visit Europe soon and we will try to meet up in person when she is in London.
Richard – Thank you, you are such a genius in creating this to bring people together.
PS. I would encourage anyone to register for the CliftonStrengths® Twin. You have absolutely nothing to lose but potentially something lovely to gain and get to know yourself even more!
Strengths Twins On Called To Coach
Hear Richard Sterry talk about how the Strength Twins movement was born. He describes how he met his own Twin and the conversations that followed.
Listen to the 10-minute section in his interview with Jim Collison on Called To Coach.
(this was recorded a very long time ago in 2018 when Strengths Twins was just starting).
I Found my Twin at the Gallup Strengths Summit!
“On Wednesday morning as I was walking past one of the photo ops where one could stand in front of the backdrop that displays all 34 Strength Themes vertically, I noticed that my same Top 5 were displayed with a woman standing in front beaming for the camera. I couldn’t believe it! As she said Thank you to the photographer, I approached her and said “You’re my 1 in 275,000th! We have the same top 5!” We became fast friends of course – I lead with Connectedness, sat and enjoyed breakfast together, watched the morning “This is Me” production – sniffling of course with Empathy in Top 5, laughed at our similar behaviors and then of course went on to our first workshop of the day and we were in that together as well!
I’m curious to see if registering with Strength Twins introduces us to others! Jim Collison was tickled to meet us and told us to register…..so let’s see what happens!! Thank you!!”
