Assessments

Assessments provide a window into how things are going and what can be done to create desired change. Below are a few of the assessments we offer.
PMI Climate & Culture Survey
Personality Matters, Inc. employs a phased approach to climate and culture change.

We gather organizational data through listening sessions, online surveys, individual assessments, and more. With the available data, we define the critical issues, and outline recommendations.

Next, we engage in a collaborative design of a multi-pronged development strategy. With the client, we align resources to begin full-scale implementation. Finally, we conduct a closing evaluation based on key success metrics.
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or abbreviated as the MBTI®, is a personality test that assesses an individual’s personality through four dichotomies.
  • Extraversion (E) or Introversion (I)
  • Sensing (S) or Intuition (N)
  • Thinking (T) or Feeling (F)
  • Judging (J) or Perceiving (P)
The MBTI® not only helps a coach tailor their coaching style to the personality of whoever they are coaching for various benefits, but it allows the individual to discover the personality traits they possess and lack to develop their own leadership.
PMI Listening Solutions
Listening sessions, focus groups and individual interviews, allow leadership teams to understand and analyze employee needs.
PMI consultants collaborate with clients to identify overarching concerns. We then construct a customized series of listening-focused solutions. These structured engagements are designed to be engaging and interactive, with no expectations of right or wrong answers.
Responses are analyzed and reported thematically so leadership teams can chart an informed path forward.
DiSC® Assessment The DiSC® personal assessment is one of the most valid and reliable tools that is used to boost an organization’s teamwork, communication, and overall performance.

The DiSC® categorizes behaviors into four personality types including:
  • Dominance
  • Influence
  • Steadiness
  • Conscientiousness
It measures the magnitude that an individual falls into each of those categories and coaches can tailor their styles around the categories.
Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation-Behavior®
The FIRO-B® is an instrument that helps clients understand their interpersonal needs. This assessment can help individuals analyze their typical behavior towards others and how they want others to act towards them using these dimensions:
  • Behaviors: Inclusion, Control, & Affection

Helping clients see this information can help them build on dimensions like communication, personal relationships, and conflict management.
