Assessment Center Overview Representational Processing Styles SummaryThis very simple review helps you to understand how you process and in what order you prefer to process. The processing styles are visual, auditory, kinesthetic and auditory digital. Learning Styles Inventory [Hay Group] The Learning Style Inventory is a statistically reliable and valid, 12-item assessment tool, developed by David A. Kolb, Ph.D. Based on Experiential Learning Theory, it identifies preferred learning styles, and explores the opportunities different styles present for:
Managing for Success: PERSONAL INTERESTS, ATTITUDES AND VALUES [PIAV] Consciously or unconsciously, every decision or course of action we take is based on our experiences, beliefs, attitudes and values. Values direct our actions and offer stimuli for behavior. The Personal Interests, Attitudes and Values Manual provides the foundation for understanding and applying Edward Spranger's values model. Spranger's model is particularly useful in understanding conflict and performance issues. Managing For Success: Employee-Manager Version (DiSC) Learning about a behavioral model will help a person to better understand themselves and others; therefore, enhancing personal and professional relationships. An understanding of behavior will lead to the accomplishment of the following:
Based on the individual's responses to the Style Analysis TM Instrument, a Managing For Success™ personalized report will be computer-generated with the following details:
The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode | Article For the past 25 years, the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) has been the leader in conflict resolution assessment. The TKI allows you to safely open a discussion about conflict, to reveal patterns and look at instances when one conflict behavior is productive and when choosing another style would be more effective. The five easy-to- understand styles are: Competing: High assertiveness and low cooperativeness. The goal is "to win." Avoiding: Low assertiveness and low cooperativeness. The goal is "to delay." Compromising: Moderate assertiveness and low cooperativeness. The goal is "to find a middle ground." Collaborating: High assertiveness and high cooperativeness. The goal is "to find a win-win solution." Accommodating: Low assertiveness and high cooperativeness. The goal is "to yield." Reiss Desire ProfileThe Reiss Profile of Fundamental Goals and Motivational Sensitivities is a comprehensive measure of human motivation. This scientifically validated instrument is based on a theory that has similarities to the works of Gordon Allport and Abraham Maslow, and it is published in the tradition of Myers Briggs. The inclusion of this instrument in a test battery adds important, new information to assessments aimed at understanding motivational traits. MBTI Form Q [Step II]This report is an in-depth, personalized account of your personality preferences, derived from your answers on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Step II (MBTI Step II). The MBTI reports your individual personality type, and the Step II analysis of your responses gives you an indication of the unique way in which you express each main preference. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is designed to help you become acquainted with the personality gifts you were born with that make you a unique person. It was developed by Isabel Myers and Katharine Briggs as an application of Carl Jung’s theory of psychological types. Jung believed that much of what we do with our minds is either an act of gathering or becoming aware of new information, which he called Perceiving, or an act of deciding or coming to a conclusion using that information, which he called Judging. He also believed that much of the apparent random difference in people’s behavior is actually a result of each person having preferences for particular ways of perceiving and judging. Jung identified Sensing and Intuition as two opposite ways of perceiving, and Thinking and Feeling as two opposite ways of forming judgments. These four different modes of perceiving and judging he called functions. People with a preference for Sensing take in new information by focusing on facts and details that can be confirmed by experience, whereas people who prefer Intuition focus on possibilities and relationships among ideas. People who prefer Thinking judgment use impersonal, objective, logical analysis to reach conclusions, whereas people who prefer Feeling judgment use person-centered, subjective analysis to reach their conclusions. These personality preferences are similar to the familiar preference each of us has for right-handedness or left-handedness. A person normally writes with one hand or the other, but not both. We face the same situation in using our mental functions: we can, and do, use each of the perceiving functions and each of the judging functions on occasion, but we normally reach for our preferred one first. Another pair of opposites, called Extraversion and Introversion, have to do with the sources of our energy and the way we use our functions. Jung called these opposites attitudes rather than functions. People with a preference for Extraversion focus on, and draw energy from, the people, events, and things in the outer world. People with a preference for Introversion, on the other hand, focus on and derive energy from the thoughts, feelings, and impressions of their inner world. A second pair of opposite attitudes identifies whether a person’s primary means of dealing with the outside world is one of the Perceiving functions or one of the Judging functions. People who prefer the Judging attitude like to plan and organize, make decisions quickly, and come to closure. People who prefer the Perceiving attitude tend to be spontaneous and adaptable and want to keep their options open as long as possible. The MBTI is not a measure of your abilities in any area. It is designed to help you become aware of your particular gifts and, through this process, to understand and appreciate the ways in which people differ. Remember that no preference is more desirable than its opposite, and no one of the sixteen possible basic types is better than any other. MBTI Step II description contributed by Peter B. Myers
Big Five Personality Traits: Take this psychology test to find out about your personality! This test measures what many psychologists consider to be the five fundamental dimensions of personality. As you are rating yourself, you are encouraged to rate another person. By rating someone else you will tend to receive a more accurate assessment of your own personality. Also, you will be given a personality profile for the person you rate, which will allow you to compare yourself to this person on each of five basic personality dimensions. Try to rate someone whom you know well, such as a close friend, coworker, spouse, or other family member.

“In some ways, I notice that we end up teaching the client a lot...a lot about right action, meaning making, ladder of inference, single, double and triple loop learning, how they process (nlp), why they make decisions (PIAV), how they go about things (DiSC), what they desire most and value (Reiss), who they are (MBTI Step II), where they are likely to have strengths and opportunities, and when they are likely to learn best, fastest, deepest (LSI).”- Mike Jay, 2001
