Five Sciences Capture the Whole Person
When assessing talent, we look at an array of factors spanning across five sciences. Looking at the bulls eye diagram to the left, our five sciences comprise a significant chunk of a person’s total makeup. Specifically, we can accurately measure and evaluate:
- Behavior.
- Acumen.
- Personal Skills.
- Motivators.
- Emotional Intelligence.
By understanding as much of the “whole person” as we can (about ourselves and others), we can select, lead, and engage others effectively – catalyzing the highest levels of collaboration and productivity.
The Five Sciences Explained
Behavior (DISC)
Behavior answers the question, HOW will s/he work? It also provides key insights into one’s communication skills and related preferences. By looking at behavior, we can separate the introverted from the extroverted and the people-oriented from the task-oriented.
Acumen
Acumen answers the question, HOW does s/he think? Moreover, it describes one’s understanding of self and others, role awareness, and self-direction. It also provides insight into a person’s decision-making skills, self-management ability, attitude, and problem-solving ability.
Personal Skills
Personal Skills answers the question, CAN s/he do the work? Our personal skills assessment measures 25 key performance traits includes personal accountability, interpersonal skills, teamwork, time and priority management, and leadership.
Motivators
Motivators answers the question, WHY will s/he work? We look at six core motivators and twelve driving forces when measuring motivators. Understanding someone’s motivators is incredibly important when matching them to a job and moving them into action daily.
Emotional Intelligence
EQ answers the question, WILL s/he collaborate? Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is the ability to understand and apply emotions to facilitate optimal collaboration and productivity. EQ is increasingly recognized as a greater predictor of success than IQ.
