We all have different balances of the 3 styles; that’s what makes our decisions and actions different. It is this understanding of our individual strengths and weaknesses that will enable us to affect change in our life and achieve greater personal success. It is only by first understanding something that we are then able to change it.
What is the Attribute Index
The Attribute Index is a personal assessment tool that provides information as to how a person makes decisions: intrinsically, extrinsically, or systematically. It also identifies areas of strengths (maximizers) and areas of weakness (minimizers). Our approach is unique in that we measure where an individual is now and what his or her essential elements are – those can become predictors of future strengths. Our approach is outcome-focused rather than simply measuring non-relevant activities. Each individual has the opportunity to decide what action, if any he or she wants to take. In addition, the assessment tool is supported by a comprehensive action planning process that helps promote the measures taken.
Gathering the Data
There are 2 methods utilized in gathering data: the assessment itself and a personal interview. Personal are conducted by certified facilitators in order to explain the individual’s assessment.
Key Areas of Interest
By understanding the way in which we think, it becomes possible to leverage that knowledge to make better decisions, maximize strengths, minimize limitations, and achieve greater successes in whatever we do. When we attain this information about another person in an organizational setting, it allows better utilization of skills and alignment of work, increases management efficiency and effectiveness, and in general can impact the organization’s overall health and performance.
