Assessment Tools

Assessment Tools – ‘best in class’ developmental tools

Over the years of my career, I strongly believed in commitment to continuous personal and professional development. This philosophy has served me well and has been worth the time and money spent in obtaining these accreditations to have access to these assessment tools. Seeking out the best available has also been a good decision. I am pleased to be able to support clients with the use of these tools.

Being able to access assessment tools is earned by attending the accreditation program and then presenting, playing back or facilitating the process appropriately, to a group or selected partners on the program.

The various assessment tools provide a great starting point when having conversations with program participants to see how they connect, if at all, with the information provided. After all, there is just so much ‘stuff’ out there, I find without some basis for a meaningful conversation it can take a long time, depending on other factors as to what may help an individual’s professional development. They serve as a starting point and help participants focus on how they respond to such data and decide where they want to go from there.

The point is this. It is the discussion that occurs as a consequence of the data provided and the individual’s reaction, and subsequent decisions they make, not the assessment tool itself!

Myers Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI® or TYPE)
Practitioner (Step I & II):

Over the past 70 years, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) instrument has helped millions of individuals throughout the world gain awareness about themselves and how they interact with others. The MBTI® instrument enables personal transformation by giving people a powerful tool for improving how they communicate, learn and work.

In developing the MBTI® instrument, Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother, Katharine Briggs, aimed to make Carl Jung’s theory of psychological type understandable and useful in people’s everyday lives.

The essence of the theory is that much seemingly random variation in behaviour is actually quite orderly and consistent, owing to basic differences in the ways individuals are oriented toward the external world, take in information and draw conclusions about what they perceive.

Emotional Intelligence – EQ-i2.0

Emotional intelligence is a set of emotional and social skills that influence the way we perceive and express ourselves, develop and maintain social relationships, cope with challenges, and use emotional information in an effective and meaningful way. The EQ-i2.0 come in a number of formats. the Momentum Program utilises the Leadership Report or the 360. While emotional intelligence is not the sole predictor of human performance and development potential, it is proven to be a key indicator in these areas. Emotional intelligence is also not a static factor — on the contrary, one’s emotional intelligence can change over time and can be developed in targeted areas.
