Our methodology provides you with the skills, metrics, and custom reports that drive better communication, team effectiveness, employee development, and growth.



  Data

Science-based assessments are the foundation of our methodology – everything starts with the data. Our assessments measure critical dimensions of behaviors and skills in the workplace. The Predictive Index assessment, developed in 1955, was among the first to quantify the importance of behavioral drives and needs in the workplace. Since then, we’ve added additional assessments that continue the tradition of providing you with unprecedented insight into your leaders, employees, and candidates.

Our assessments include:

  • The Predictive Index (PI®), and the Performance Requirements Options (PRO) in our Behavior Suite.
  • Selling Skills Assessment Tool™ (SSAT), and Influencing Skills Assessment Tool™ (ISAT) in our Skill Suite.
