“The reality is that a person who has always struggled with numbers is unlikely to be a great accountant or statistician,” writes Mr. Rath, a consultant for the Gallup Organization. “People have several times more potential for growth when they invest energy in developing their strengths instead of correcting their deficiencies.”
Having made that argument in less than three dozen pages, the book then provides a code that allows access to a Web site that lists 177 pairs of “descriptors” (for example, “I read all of the instructions before beginning” and “I prefer to jump right in.”).
