We use a range of psychometric instruments to support the work that we undertake. It is important that psychometric instruments are valid and reliable and are appropriate for the work that is being undertaken. It is also important that the people who administer and feedback the instruments are qualified to do so, and time is invested in explaining the results to those who have taken them.
Typology based Personality Profiles
We have coaches and consultants who are certified to use various typology-based personality instruments. These can be used for individuals, managers, leaders and teams to provide insights into self and others behaviour and their development. In our view these instruments are not suitable for recruitment and selection purposes.
Many of our coaches are certified to use the Hogan Personality Suite. It consists of three assessments. The Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI) describes normal, or bright-side personality, qualities that describe how we relate to others when we are at our best.
The Hogan Development Survey (HDS) describes the dark-side personality, qualities that emerge in times of increased strain or when we are not monitoring our behaviour and the Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory (MVPI) describes personality from the inside.
Everything Disc is a personality profile that measures preferences and tendencies based on the DiSC® model. This simple model describes four basic styles:
D “dominance”,
i “influence”,
S “steadiness” and
C “conscientiousness”
Insights discovery provides a straightforward introduction to personality for employees and managers. It provides self-insight and insight into the personalities and behaviour of others which is ideal for teamwork.
It uses a simple four colour model to help people understand their style, their strengths and the value they bring to the team. The colours are Fiery Red, Sunshine Yellow, Earth Green and Cool Blue, described as energies, which determines how and why people behave the way they do.
