There is a great deal of emphasis placed on personal assessment tools when it comes to hiring, coaching, and personal development – rightfully so!
While there are different methods and approaches, they all have a common goal of helping an individual gain a better understanding of his or her self. This includes a person’s subconscious, strengths, and limitations.
When we clearly understand our behavior, we can begin to control our subconscious actions under various circumstances. We are then able to be proactive rather than reactive. Such knowledge is crucial in changing our behavior for better decision making, more effective communication, and improvement of our interaction with others.
Over 50 years of scientific research has revealed that there are 3 distinct styles of decision making. Each of us can make decisions in these 3 ways, but we tend to develop a preference for one more than the other 2. This preference becomes a subconscious force, affecting the decisions we make on a daily basis and shaping how we perceive the world around us and how we perceive ourselves. The 3 decisional styles are the personal, the practical, and the analytical.
Behavioral Profile
The DISC Index is the most contemporary interpretation of Dr. William Marston’s groundbreaking work into understanding and measuring a person’s natural and adaptive behavioral styles. Since each individual has their own unique preferences and habits for how they like to behave, this understanding is crucial when working with team members, as a leader or manager, or in an environment that requires conflict resolution.
Personal Motivations
The Values Index combines the work of Dr. Eduard Spranger and Dr. Gordon Allport into a single profile that delivers the world’s most comprehensive understanding of a person’s value structure or their motivational style. Everyone has their own unique mix of personal drivers and motivators that help guide them toward success. Understanding what really drives a person is a crucial part of success.
