Behavioural Assessment

We use Discus, a work style or behaviour assessment tool which gives powerful insight into an individual's prevalent behavioural characteristics. By referencing a DISC profile, it becomes possible to understand a person's approach to other people, and even to adapt to that approach, helping to develop positive interaction. The easily understood and comprehensive report provides a detailed analysis based on four key characteristics of an individual's behaviour: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Compliance.

For an organization, Discus provides powerful, objective information to help with:

• Selection and Orientation
• Training and Development
• Performance Management
• Career and Succession Planning
• Team Development

Personality and Cognitive Assessment

For personality and cognitive measures, we use CLUES® Assessments, a Brief Five-Factor Self-Descriptive Screening Test. The CLUES® personality assessment is built upon the well-accepted "Big 5" concept of core personality traits. There is little question among personnel psychologists that cognitive ability—the ability to process and retain information quickly—is a necessary skill that transcends most jobs. For most jobs there is a range of cognitive ability associated with on-the-job success; a higher level of cognitive ability is not necessarily associated with job success. What matters is the fit with the requirements of the job.

These five independent factors, each of which is found to be normally distributed across large groups of adults, are:

• Conscientious
• Likeable
• Unconventional
• Extroverted
• Stable
