Personal Assessments

I believe the assessments provide the information to allow each of us to accept what is naturally right about ourselves, shifting our presumption that there is always something wrong with us that needs to be changed. How can we communicate best with others if we do not appreciate are own natural passions, attitudes, and style? They also show us if we are adapting away from our natural selves, how we are doing it, and how stressful the implications may be.

In 1999, I completed six months of research of a variety of assessments and chose to become certified by a company that provides a variety of assessments worldwide, in eight different languages. I was stunned by what I learned about myself as I studied their material and continued to take the assessments. This experience, the comprehensive reports, and the unusually high correlation validation studies submitted by independent research companies, was the basis for my decision to want to use these products.

I spent an additional six months giving the assessments to the widest range of people I knew, from old school to new age. I found the information contained in each person's 38-page report to be profoundly meaningful, providing powerful insights, like I have experienced. I discovered how to explain the results in a way that people can literally feel the accuracy of the reports in their bodies.

Over the last two years I have used the assessments in group workshops, with individuals, spouses, significant others, friends, and business associates. I also became certified as a Professional Values and Behavioral Analyst, one of the most comprehensive and challenging experiences I have had.

The first assessment I have chosen to use will show you what passions of yours need to be activated to naturally get you out of your seat and what to play. When this occurs for any of us, we become a natural self-starter.

The second assessment will show you how you naturally interact with your environment and other people and if you are adapting unnaturally in any way that is causing you stress.

The two assessments must be blended together for each of us to appreciate how our passions and styles are always interwoven to create our perceptions and the way we interact with others.


Personal Assessments

I can guarantee the awareness these two assessments provide will allow you to powerfully appreciate the why and how of who you are. They become a bridge for you to appreciate others in ways you have never experienced before. This is quite a statement, to guarantee what I have just said, but I do, in fact, guarantee this.

There are over 17,000 possible combinations of responses to the assessments. There are 384 possible reports. The computer iteration model is designed like a lie detector program. Therefore the personal information you receive provides clarity that is meaningful, real, and has immediate practical applications in your relationships.

There are no right or wrong answers to the assessments. You simply respond to questions, selecting what is true for you, without being concerned about the expectations of others. They are provocative and fun. You will receive clear insights and tools to deepen your connection with yourself and the people that matter the most to you. You may even begin to appreciate people who have tended to irritate you in the past.
