Assessments
When done right, psychometric assessments can be valuable sources of insight and self-awareness. However, the truth is that most of the popular tools in the multi-billion-dollar assessment industry are little more than pseudoscience.
The most highly validated psychometric assessments are based on the "Big Five" model of personality, which focuses on traits rather than types. One key difference is that types categorize people into discrete boxes, whereas traits present a continuum and recognize much more individual nuance.
The "Big Five" model assesses personality based on the following traits:
- Openness to New Experience
- Conscientiousness
- Extraversion
- Agreeableness
- Neuroticism
At Executive Sound Board, the psychometric assessments we use are built on this foundation and include the following:
We are also huge advocates of 360 degree feedback as a way to collect objective data and form a more complete and balanced self-concept.
