Assessment Tools
We
support organisations working through people
development challenges. Our associates have access to a wide
range of human resources development (HRD) tools.
We use (a combination of) the following tools:
A. Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ)
This
"competency set of the workplace" was developed by SHL ( the publisher
of the OPQ assessment inventory), and is used worldwide. It
will
help the assessed client establish:
a. what the organisation needs
b. what the natural preferences of the client are
c. what the development issues are
B. Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) / ALTI
The MBTI is more like an interpersonal development instrument than a
test.
It is based on the personality type theory of the Swiss
psychoanalyst Dr. C.G. Jung. This MBTI is used worldwide to
give
individuals, teams and organisations great opportunities for
development.
C. Competency Analysis Development Tool (CADT)
This
tool is the next stage after the MBTI / ALTI test and feedback.
It supports the client with more insight about their personal
development issues. The CADT is often the real start of the
coaching process. The one-on-one Jungian based Board Game
test
results are best used to assist peoples' understanding of their
strengths, areas for development and preferences. These
preferences identify what roles the person is suited to and will enjoy
the most.
During and after this coaching process, people are able to make better
choices
about career change and personal development. Better choices
result in benefits for the employer and employee such as: more energy,
better work-life balance, experiencing less stress, and better
relationships with co workers and family.
CADT includes
Stage 1: One-on-one Board Game
(to be completed after the MBTI / ALTI session)
Stage 2: Feedback
time (2 hours, one-on-one)
Stage 3: Personal report and
advice about interpersonal development
issues (a starting point for further individual coaching)
D. Belbin Team Role Analysis Test
The
team-role theory of Dr Meredith Belbin was based on extensive research
and observation of managers. From this, 9 successful clusters
of
behaviour were identified.
3 Action oriented team roles -
Shaper, Implementer and Completer/Finisher
3 People oriented team roles -
Co-Ordinator, Teamworker and Resource Investigator
3 Cerebral oriented team roles
- Plant, Monitor, Evaluator and Specialist
By
using Belbin's questionaire, teams can find out what their behavioural
tendencies are and adjust roles, behaviours, or members accordingly.
We use this test for teambuilding purposes. The
Belbin Test
can be done individually as well as in a team setting.
