Hi Chris, just took the surveys for your research paper. The Coach version took 3 min. and the Client version took 5 because I had to look up my values from last assessment (not required but I wanted to).
Recommended tool: VIA Signature Strengths from http://www.authentichappiness.com
The Values In Action index contains 24 strengths, developed after extensive academic research by positive psychologists. Just as various schools of psychology have been responses to those before them, these 24 values (character strengths & virtues) are the reponse to the DSM list/model of illnesses – they are the WELLNESS list.
Clients have to register to take the assessment but it’s free, they are never spammed, and the data becomes part of a huge global database used by scholars from around the world who are researching wellness/positive psychology. It’s paying it forward and receiving cool information about yourself all at the same time.
I have a strengths-based model of coaching and use this with most of my clients because it puts words and descriptions around what is most important to them. It is a validation, increasing awareness of the best about them and I have to tell you that I have some awesome clients so there’s always a lot of good there!
Best of luck with your research. Please let me know if I can help.
Kindest regards,
Deb

I agree with Deb, the Authentic Happiness site is definitely worth a look. There are a ton of assessments to play around with personally and then you can decide which ones work best with your style and with your clients needs.
