Top Strength

Developed over decades, primarily by Don Clifton, Strength Psychology focuses on identifying and developing an individual's natural talents. The core idea is that people achieve greater success and fulfillment by focusing on what they naturally do well (their talents) rather than trying to fix weaknesses. These talents, when refined with knowledge and skill, become strengths. The CliftonStrengths assessment identifies 34 distinct "strength themes" which are grouped into four broader domains: Executing, Influencing, Relationship Building, and Strategic Thinking. Individuals receive a report highlighting their dominant themes, offering insights into their natural ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving.

PRiADI's Integration of Strength Psychology

PRiADI Psychological Fingerprints connects to this concept by claiming the ability to identify an individual's predisposition towards certain strength themes based on fingerprint analysis. The key distinction here is that PRiADI posits these themes represent innate characteristics – potentials that are present from birth and reflected in one's unique dermatoglyphic patterns.

Below are highlights how PRiADI specifically adopts language and themes from this established strength framework:

  1. Adoption of Strength Themes: PRiADI uses names for strength themes that are recognizable from the CliftonStrengths vocabulary (e.g., Achiever, Deliberative, Arranger, Maximizer, Discipline, Competition, Focus, Command, Relator, Harmony). This indicates PRiADI is drawing upon the conceptual understanding associated with these specific traits within the realm of Strength Psychology.
  2. Selective Inclusion: that not all 34 CliftonStrengths themes are included. PRiADI's inventor selects themes based on "suitability issues with PRiADI description" and "harmony in theme language and accuracy with PRiADI test device." This suggests PRiADI has developed specific correlations or interpretations linking certain fingerprint patterns to particular strength themes from the broader framework, while others may not have a clear or reliable fingerprint correlate within their system.
  3. Visualization of Innate Strength Level: PRiADI visualizes the level of each included strength theme using a dot system: 
    • Blue Dot: Indicates a high innate strength or strong natural tendency towards that specific theme (e.g., Achiever, Shaper, Deliberative, Arranger, Maximizer, Discipline, Competition, Focus, Command, as per your example). This suggests the individual is naturally predisposed to think or behave in ways associated with that theme.
    • Red Dot: Indicates the lowest innate strength or the weakest natural tendency towards that theme (e.g., Relator, Harmony, as per your example). This suggests the individual may find behaviors associated with this theme less natural or comfortable.
    • Gray Dot: Indicates a moderate innate strength or a moderate natural tendency, suggesting some potential but not a dominant predisposition.
  4. Interpretation Based on Innate Profile: PRiADI provides interpretations based on the combination and levels of these innate strength themes revealed by the fingerprint analysis. Your example, "even though testee is considered well in leadership character and has a high work focus, testee has a relatively high tendency to have a conflict compared to the average population," illustrates how PRiADI synthesizes the assessed innate traits (like "leadership character" or "Focus") with themes like "Relator" or "Harmony" (low, indicated by a red dot) to suggest potential behavioral outcomes or challenges (like conflict tendency).

In summary, PRiADI Psychological Fingerprints leverages the language and conceptual framework of Strength Psychology (specifically themes popularized by CliftonStrengths) to provide a profile of what it asserts are an individual's innate behavioral and potential strengths. Unlike self-report assessments, PRiADI claims to identify these predispositions through fingerprint analysis, presenting them as foundational aspects of personality present from birth. The blue, red, and gray dots visually represent the strength of these innate tendencies, offering a unique perspective on an individual's natural talents and how they might manifest in their interactions and work style, ultimately aiming to provide self-awareness for personal growth and understanding.
