I took the Clifton StrengthsFinder during work hours and am convinced that my Signature Themes -- among them Arranger and Focus -- were influenced by my workplace mindset. I am sure that if I took it while vacationing in Fiji, my Signature Themes would be different because I am a different person away from the office. Is this possible?

It certainly is possible that you would feel like a different person away from the pressures of the office. You more than likely would be more patient, more reflective, and more forgiving while on your Fiji vacation than you would be during your Monday morning staff meetings. However, even though you might feel like a different person, your dominant talents remain the same.
