Statistically Predictive Traits

It's not difficult to find great people.

The challenge has been selecting the right one for your assignment and opportunity. Until now!

Building on the groundbreaking work of Dr. John Marshall and Self Management Group in Toronto over the last 30 years, our research shows that you can statistically predict the alignment of a person's talent (hard wired & trained), their effort (thoughts and habits of behavior) and the opportunity (the job and work environment) before you interview them.

This comprehensive triangulation pinpoints the optimum alignment and provides your specifications for selecting the right candidate for both external hiring and internal succession planning.

By matching a person's inherent 'Work DNA' to your business opportunities, you increase the odds of their superior performance and retention to as high as 99.5%. An apple tree inherently grows apples. A grapevine inherently grows grapes. It takes people to convert either into value added products and inherently wired cider makers or vintners will do it lovingly.

The Right fit can mean 25% to 150% in both increased performance and reduced costs.

Our Assessment is Different

 
  • measures behavior & situational traits
  • ipsative ("forced choice") testing
  • cannot compare people
  • not to be used for employee selection/ hiring
  • requires psychologist
  • descriptive of behaviors
  • measures hard-wired inherent traits
  • normative (range-based) testing
  • can compare groups & individuals
  • can be normed / validated to a specific culture, job or manager for selection
  • easy for managers to interpret for hiring, coaching, development, mentoring
  • predictive of performance and retention
