We have a lot of tools in our tool box and the Strength Deployment Inventory has got to be one of our favourites. Why do we like the SDI so much? We receive a lot of enquiries from professionals who want training courses that improve communication, reduce conflict, develop team performance and build stronger intra-team relationships. The SDI allows us to do all of this and more. The effectiveness of the Strength Deployment Inventory lies in it s simplicity. A positive and validating tool, it is easy to grasp and practical to use. So if you only have a day or two and really want to know how to get the best out of your team, know what motivates them and how to recognise and deal with conflict in a useful way, this is just the ticket. The Strength Deployment Inventory allows teams and individuals to both communicate and relate to others more effectively. It moves beyond the external behaviours we experience in others and into the motivations, intentions and values that drive them. This, in turn, provides the opportunity to accelerate the bulding of stronger, more resourceful and more effective teams in any environment.

The MBTI Use the MBTI for: Identifying areas for personal and professional development Accelerated coaching and development Managing change more effectively Understanding and working with diversity Being more effective with more people Improving communication and resolving conflict Identifying leadership styles Exploring problem-solving and learning styles Understanding reactions to change and stress Career development Teaching and learning You already know that we are all so very different and that these differences impact on your business performance. Personality is not, however, something that we can switch off and leave at home. Our personality is a fundamental part of who we are. It is with us always, whether we are at home or at work. Truly acknowledging, understanding and working with personality difference is definitely one way in which you can achieve high performance and more effective team working. Unlike many other psychometric tools, the MBTI is not a test. Instead, it indicates a person s clarity for a set of preferences. Understanding both your own and your team s Type s (or preferences) can help in a number of ways, not least by improving communication, resolving conflict and identifying areas for team and personal development. The MBTI is part of all Leadership Training programmes. It can also be administered to enhance our Team Development and Outdoor Management Development programmes or as a stand alone course for individuals or groups. We also provide online administration and telephone feedback for individuals wanting to take the MBTI. Mencap, London.

The 16PF Use the 16PF for: Management development Recruitment & selection Personal development Professional development...so far things are going well and we are very happy with the appointment. I think the 16pf really helped us build an objective view of candidates and was particularly useful for that position. I would certainly use it again in the future, for the right role. The 16pf (or sixteen personality factors), developed by Raymond Cattell, is a trait based psychometric tool, that has a variety of uses within learning and development. The 16pf differs from the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) in that it measures the amount of personality trait as apposed to the clarity of preference. Simply put, it measures 16 factors which make up our personality. As the 16pf measures personality it is possible to predict how the respondent might behave in a situation given their personality makeup. For this reason, it is one of the few personality instruments that can be used as part of a selection & assessment process. You can also choose from a variety of comprehensive interpretive reports to include; delegate report, manager s report, career report, management potential report and a career development profile. The 16pf measures the following: 1. Warmth 2. Reasoning 3. Emotional Stability 4. Dominance 5. Liveliness 6. Rule-Consciousness 7. Social Boldness 8. Sensitivity 9. Vigilance 10. Abstractedness 11. Privateness 12. Apprehension 13. Openess to Change 14. Self-Reliance 15. Perfectionism 16.Tension World Cancer Research Fund Whilst, the 16pf has not been the main source of selection for this role it was part of a selection package which helped us to formulate a more rounded picture of the candidates. The time you took to clarify our assessment criteria and your summary of the results was very much appreciated and helpful to us. It also assisted us with preparing the second interview questions and helped us to probe further on some areas that our normal questioning would have perhaps overlooked. Overall, using the 16pf added real value to the second interview stage process and hopefully it has helped us select the right candidate for this role.

The Type Dynamics Indicator We use the Type Dynamics Indicator for: Identifying areas for personal and professional development Accelerated coaching and development Managing change more effectively Understanding and working with diversity Being more effective with more people Improving communication and resolving conflict Identifying leadership styles Exploring problem-solving and learning styles Understanding reactions to change and stress Career development Teaching and learning Similar to the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI ), the Type Dynamics Indicator (TDI ) also reports a person s psychological type on the same dichotomies. Underpinned by Jung s theory of typology, the TDI reports on four areas of difference. These are: the differences in how people are energised and interact with the world. the differences in the way people prefer to take in information. the differences in how people prefer to use that information. the differences in the lifestyle people prefer to lead. So why deliver the TDI as well as the MBTI? Some people find that there is an internal struggle between who they are and who they want to be. This tool, as well as reporting on your present psychological type, also has the flexibility to report on the psychological type that you may aspire to be. The TDI terms this the Is/Want report. Identifying this difference (if any) allows for a deeper exploration of type and identifies richer opportunities for personal development. For ease and convenience, the TDI can be completed online, which allows for the creation of personalised and comprehensive Type at Work reports. World Cancer Research Fund: Really interesting course, highly recommend it for helping others to understand my own and my teams personality types. Great insight. It was very useful to see this applied over our whole workgroup and see the dynamics that govern our companies behaviour This will certainly impact on our efficiency as a business. out at approximately 110 per
