Team Assessments
Managing the people side of your business can be tough! Whether it is improving communication, managing conflict, developing employees, or hiring the right talent, our team assessments can help.
We have partnered with TTI Success Insights to bring you results! Utilizing the DISC Behavioral science, along with 2 additional sciences, our assessments give you a deeper understanding into each person’s behaviors, motivators, and skills. This multi-science approach is what sets us apart from our competitors’ single science approach.
Benefits of the Assessments
Communication
What has miscommunication cost your company, whether it is managing conflict on your team, or the loss of sales? Our assessment helps people understand their own communication style, as well as others, to help minimize that conflict and enhance communication.
Team Building
How is your company culture? Positive or negative? Shifting a culture and creating synergy amongst your team takes time. Our assessment helps to facilitate that process by bringing everyone onto the same page and revealing insights that help teams work better together.
Professional Development
How do you encourage your employees and leaders towards continued growth? Our assessment highlights their strengths which facilitates job alignment and it also gives them growth opportunities and strategies, to help them reach their full potential.
Hiring and Promotion
Looking for an unbiased tool to help you with your next hire or promotion? Our tools offer the ability to measure what a job needs compared to the person's assessment. This results in finding the best fit for the position and less turnover of employees, due to wrong hires.

Exploring the 3 Sciences
The first science is known as DISC. DISC is an acronym that stands for 4 different behavioral styles. Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Compliance. This is NOT a personality style but a behavioral style that others can clearly see by observing. Are they extroverted or introverted? Do they prefer to work with people or tasks? Do they make quick decisions or need time to think it over? DISC shows you “how” people behave. When you line up a person’s behavioral style with the appropriate career, they will excel at their job!
You will find other companies who sell DISC assessments as well. You will often hear them talk in terms of “highs” and “lows”. For example, a High D behavioral style or a Low D behavioral style. We still have these graphs in our assessments.
However, our assessment is transitioning away from the highs and lows, and moving towards a continuum with descriptive words. Now a High D is called a Direct person and a Low D is a Reflective person. These descriptive words makes it easier to understand how the person behaves.
This single DISC science is where our competitors normally stop. However, by combining it with the 2 additional sciences below, we gain a deeper insight into each person and how to best utilize their strengths.
The motivators and driving forces are the second science. They are the underlying things that “drive” us towards action. There are 6 motivators and they cover the areas of knowledge, utility, surroundings, others, power, and methodologies.
Within each motivator, there are 2 ends of the continuum which gives us the 12 driving forces. Depending upon which end of the continuum you align with, determines what “drives” you. For example, within the knowledge motivator, you could either be driven to acquire knowledge simply because you love to learn OR you are driven to only acquire knowledge when you need it for a specific reason.
When a person’s “driver” is being met, they will feel rewarded. If a person can line up their driving force with their career, then they will feel rewarded at the end of the day. If not, then they will seek to find that fulfillment else where.
The DNA skills, also called job competencies, is the third science. They are the personal skills that a person has developed on the job. Things like conflict management, customer focus, project management, teamwork, decision making, flexibility, goal orientation and interpersonal skills. There are a total of 25 skills that are measured in the assessment.
Knowing the skills that a person brings to the job will help you maximize their strongest skills for high performance. It will also give you an idea if any type of training might be needed. A person can improve in these skills if they are teachable and if you have the time to train them.
