Abstract: Let $phi:Momathbb{S}^{n+1}subsetmathbb{R}^{n+2}$ be an immersion of a complete $n$-dimensional oriented manifold. For any $vinmathbb{R}^{n+2}$, let us denote by $el{l}_v:MomathbbR$ the function given by $el{l}_v(x)=phi(x),v$ and by $f_v:MomathbbR$, the function given by $f_v(x)=u(x),v$, where $u:Momathbb{S}^n$ is a Gauss map. We will prove that if $M$ has constant mean curvature, and, for some $$ and some real number $lambda$, we have that $el{l}_v=lambda{f}_v$, then, $phi(M)$ is either a totally umbilical sphere or a Clifford hypersurface. As an application, we will use this result to prove that the weak stability index of any compact constant mean curvature hypersurface $M^n$ in $mathbb{S}^{n+1}$ which is neither totally umbilical nor a Clifford hypersurface and has constant scalar curvature is greater than or equal to $2n+4$.
