Unlike most assessments in the market, ours is based on capabilities and not personality profiles. This allows for us to provide you examples of real skills you can improve and not innate traits that you have no ability to control. Capabilities can (and do) constantly change so weak capabilities can be strong (or the opposite). Personalities are things that are inherent to you and cannot be easily changed. As well, research has shown that depending on the situation, your personality may not change.

Initially, we wanted to use one of the well known capability models. When we looked into them though, they all seemed to be lacking some area we thought was important or didn’t take into account future capabilities. So we came up with our own. We did this though a lot of research! We spent over a year going through hundreds of articles, journals and presentations. We also worked with Industry and Talent Leaders as well as Industrial Organizational Psychologists to develop a model that not only looks are at inherent capabilities that matter but also takes into account future traits that can be nurtured to improve your skillset.

Depending on the assessment you take 30 – 90 minutes to complete the assessment. The assessment times are as follows:

Self – Assessment – Approx. 30 Minutes Orglnsights Assessment – Approx. 60 Minutes Rater Assessment – Approx. 30 Minutes If you choose to take part in the 360 assessment, your Raters will have a maximum of 45 days (or until you have selected) to respond and complete the assessment

We found that using only personality assessments doesn’t help provide a true understanding of your capabilities. In order to get a more accurate result we have combined Likert Scales, Cognitive Questions, as well as Situational Judgement Tests to allow us to capture a more accurate understanding of your capabilities.

Business capabilities are sets of skills that are considered the building blocks of a business that will allow the organization to succeed currently and grow in the future. If an organization’s employees do not possess these capabilities it can it’s ability to meet strategic objectives and can result in loss of profits/revenue as well as operational inefficiencies.

For any report that compares populations, we do not publish any information about the category until 25 assessments have been completed. As well, to ensure that we never provide identifiable information, even during our 360 assessment process, we ask you to identify a minimum of 3 individuals are will NEVER provide any names of information about the responders.

As well, to ensure that we protect your information, we never keep your credit card or any personal information on file and other than a few pieces of information, everything is optional. If hackers do want to try, our site and applications have industry leading encryption and a top notch technology security team

To ensure that our questions are statistically valid and accurate, we work with Industial-Organizational Psychologists every 6 months to check out a few things:

• Based on the answers that have been provided, is a question providing an accurate reflection of what we are looking for

• Do we need to re-word/re-phrase anything because there is a difficulty understanding a question

• Do we need to change the type of question to get a more accurate reading of an individuals capabilities?

• Are individuals scoring too low or too high on any questions?

• Is the population that is taking the assessment scoring too high or too low?

• The discrepancy between self assessments and our Orglnsights Assessment too high or too low?

Based on the results we add, remove or modify questions or calculations to ensure our model is always accurate.
