In April 2021, we acquired Strive Talent, Inc. (Note 3), which generated $8.0 million of intangible assets that are included in the tables above.

Goodwill

The acquisition of Strive in fiscal 2021 generated $7.0 million of goodwill which was allocated to the Direct Office and International Licensee segments based on their relative fair value. We performed our annual testing of goodwill in accordance with our accounting policies described in Note 1, Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. We completed a Step Zero assessment as of August 31, 2022 and concluded there were no indicators of impairment and we do not have any accumulated impairment charges against the carrying value of our goodwill. At each of August 31, 2022 and 2021, goodwill was allocated to our segments as shown below (in thousands):
