Individual Talent Profile

Did you know?

Over 50 years of scientific research has revealed there are three distinct styles of decision making.  Each of us can make decisions in these three ways, but we tend to prefer one style more than the other two.  This preference becomes a subconscious force, affecting the decisions we make on a daily basis and shaping how we see the world around us and how we see ourselves.  The three decisional styles are the personal, the practical, and the analytical.

We all have different balances of the three styles; that’s what makes our decisions and actions different.  It is this understanding of your individual strengths and weaknesses that will enable you to affect change in your life and achieve greater personal success.  It is only by first understanding your self that you will be able to change your life.  If you change you, then everything will change around you.

Attribute Index Talent Profile

This NEW Talent Profile is a personal assessment tool that provides information as to how you make decisions:  intrinsically, extrinsically, and systemically.  It also identifies areas of strength (maximers) and areas for development (minimizers). 

Our approach is unique in that we measure where you are NOW and what your essential elements are which can become predictors of future strengths.  Our approach is outcome-focused rather than simply measuring non-relevant activities.  You have the opportunity to decide what action, if any you want to take.  In addition, this assessment tool is supported by a proven comprehensive goals achievement process that helps promote the actions you take.

Gathering the Data

There are two methods utilized in gathering data:  the assessment itself and a personal interview.  Personal interviews or team meetings are conducted by certified facilitators in order to explain the individual assessment.

Key Areas of Interest

By understanding the way in which you think, it becomes possible to leverage that knowledge to make better decisions, maximize strengths, minimize weaknesses, and achieve greater success in whatever you do.  When you gain this understanding about another person in an organizational setting; it increases understanding, allows for better utilization of skills and alignment of work, and increases management efficiency and effectiveness.  In general, this knowledge can impact the organization’s overall climate and performance.
