MSCEIT

What: An emotional intelligence (EI) SKILLS test (as opposed to more subjective self-assessments). MSCEIT identifies your skill level of the 4 main abilities of emotionally intelligent people, Perceiving, Using, Understanding and Managing emotions. Developed by the people credited with defining what EI is and how we use it. It gives a score for each of the abilities, how it might show up in your thoughts and behaviours as well as hints and tips on how to build on the skill. The report includes a 1-hour confidential explanation with a qualified coach on how to interpret the results and access ways to build greater skill.

Who: Suitable for anyone interested in how Emotionally Intelligent they are. Especially useful for leaders and emerging leaders who want to improve their awareness and influence on their organisation.

How/where: The test is conducted online, answering a series of questions and interpreting images. The test takes about 45-60 minutes to complete, but this can vary for individuals.

When: Participants are encouraged to set aside uninterrupted time to complete the test. A small variation of scores has been identified in research when participants are in different emotional states, but it has minimal effect on the results.  For the best result participants should complete the test when and where they feel comfortable.

DISC ADVANCED

What: A profiling tool many are familiar with, but much much more. This psychometric assessment gathers data that allows us to interpret a person’s Natural and Adjusted styles. Meaning we can see how stressed a person may feel in their role, how easily they can relate to team members and how they can better communicate with them. DISC Advanced also allows for a range of perspectives, from individual, leadership, pairs, teams and many other assessment reports. Because of its unique mechanisms, it is difficult to cheat the DISC Advanced system by answering “what they think the boss wants to see”.

Who: Individuals or teams that are interested in their preferred way of working, how to optimise their communication and influence with others and how to use their strengths to their advantage.

How/where: An online questionnaire taking between 45-60 minutes for most people, and then a 1-hour report debrief either in person or online. For teams, a collective session can be useful to open a discussion about peoples preferred styles and where potential weaknesses or blind spots may exist. Action plans can be created using the results.

When: Participants are encouraged to set aside uninterrupted time to complete the test. For the best result Participants should complete the test when and where they feel comfortable.

LEADERSHIP MATURITY FRAMEWORK (LMF) 

What: Through a unique method of gathering information, the LMF profile report identifies the participant’s perspective, or world view. This is then used to identify how the person fits into their world, how they identify objectives, goals and choose actions. This can be useful when trying to understand people’s behaviour, team dynamics and suitability for roles in an organisation. Challenging, insightful and powerful for people looking for self-awareness and self-development.

Who: The LMF can be a challenging assessment to receive. Open minded individuals, leaders and teams who are looking for a novel perspective, or “next level” thinking are most suitable for this tool. It can be suitable as a supplementary report for employers reviewing potential candidates, as it gives insight into the perspective and focus of an individual.

How/where: Participants are invited to complete 36 sentence beginnings using an online form. Each sentence starts with a few words and the respondent then completes the sentence honestly and spontaneously, while being thoughtful and mindful. The test takes about 45-60 minutes. Unlike some profiling tools that allow the participant to “pick” the best answer, the sentence completion test requires the respondent to look within themselves for the answers. These confidential responses are reviewed and scored by experts looking for key patterns. These results are reviewed by different people to ensure consistency in scoring, then put into a comprehensive report.

When: Participants are encouraged to set aside uninterrupted time to complete the test.  For the best result participants should complete the test when and where they feel comfortable. Each report comes with a 1-hour individual coaching session on how to interpret and learn from the report.
