Buy another book.. That is crazy. Just let us buy a code. You will still Make money and not waste paper on another book that sits in the closet. You read only your section then put it away. At least if you could get another code it would be fun to interact with you spouse.

I concur.

I think you got that right. Buying another code would be the way to go. I will have to have 4 of these books to interact with my family. Lots of trees wasted.

Dear Reader,

We are unable to provide a Clifton StrengthsFinder access code for you, and we hope you will understand our reasoning.

As an integrity-based organization, we must meet our commitments to clients, publishers, and others, and those commitments include promises that we will not freely give out or sell ID codes. Also, because client companies pay us hundreds, even thousands of dollars per person for Clifton StrengthsFinder-related activities, making the assessment available to the public with the purchase of a book was a significant step. Finally, because millions of dollars and decades of research have been invested in creating Clifton StrengthsFinder, we must protect those investments.

The overall StrengthsFinder program, assessment, and website are the product of more than four decades of research and a multimillion-dollar R&D project. To ensure the quality and consistency of this message -- and for the website to be personalized around your top five themes -- one access code is included with the purchase of each strengths-based book.

Thank you,
Gallup Client Support

Forcing the purchase of another book to sit on the shelf is not quite bright, especially in the day of "green" everything. Forcing related codes within a family, only to those with existing codes (limiting the number per book) would all be other ways to account for this and help preven killing extra trees unnecessarily. Everyone in the process makes far less than the cost of the book, the I suppose pumping up the stats makes it seem like more of a bestseller....
