Assessments

eAge partners with a number of organizations and practitioners to provide our customers with a scientifically validated and objective means of assessing personality traits, technical and non-technical skills. Some can be used for recruitment and development whilst others should be used only for development.

Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI)

‘The ultimate guide to team relationships in a dispersed, uncertain world.’ The award-winning, scientifically validated Strength Deployment Inventory 2.0 (SDI 2.0) provides four views of you. It reveals why you do what you do, and how you relate to others. The SDI 2.0 provides a common language for understanding what’s important to the people around you, and how you can work together more effectively.

What can it do for me?

Understanding personality profiles will strengthen teamwork for everyone in your business. SDI will help trainers and facilitators understand individuals’ needs and wants in training and coaching situations. Customer service teams can excel when they learn how to match and borrow behaviours to increase their sales performance.

SDI 2.0 offers an online platform to enable managers and team members to:

• Share their SDI profiles online.
• Receive hints and tips on how to communicate effectively.
• Understand each others' conflict triggers so to avoid unnecessary conflict.
• Create profiles of teams and work groups to identify strengths, overdone strengths, blind spots and potential areas of conflict.

eAge is a Core Strengths partner – talk to us about how SDI could benefit your organisation.

Hogan Assessments

‘Get data-based personality insights to maximise organisational success.’

Hogan’s personality assessments were developed to evaluate all facets of personality, the Brightside, the Darkside and the Inside.

This provides employers with an objective lens through which to understand their people. It also enables people to perform at their best, manage their professional reputation and achieve their career goals.

What can it do for me?

• The Hogan Personality Inventory (The Bright Side) is an ideal tool to help you strengthen your employee selection, leadership development, succession planning, and talent management processes.
• The Hogan Development Survey describes the dark side of personality. Qualities that emerge in times of increased strain or when we are not monitoring our behaviour. This can disrupt relationships, damage reputations, and derail peoples’ chances of success. By assessing dark-side personality, you can recognise and mitigate performance risks before they become a problem.
• The Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory describes personality from the inside. The core goals, values, drivers, and interests that determine what we desire and strive to attain. By assessing values, you can understand what motivates people to succeed, and in what type of position, job, and environment they will be the most productive.

Talk to our team about how you can use Hogan assessments as a way of understanding how your people are likely to think, act, and interact with others in the workplace.

Emotional Intelligence (EIP3)

“Enhancing the performance of individuals and leaders. Creating sustainable change that drives business results.” Emotional Intelligence (EI) is about being able to manage your own emotions and understanding the emotions of those around you.

There are five key elements to EI: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills.

Someone with high EI is aware of their emotions in a given situation and is able to regulate their responses. They also have a greater awareness of emotions behind the behaviour of others, giving them an understanding of the best way to interact with colleagues.

What can it do for me?

• Increases self-awareness and provides practical guidance on areas to be developed.
• Provides a framework of pre-existing skills which impact on behaviour considered for success in the workplace.
• Helps managers and leaders develop the skills that enable them to work more cooperatively, be better influencers and create a psychologically safe work environment.

The EIP3 questionnaire provides a detailed assessment of a person’s EI and is used successfully in the workplace for development and selection.

Knowledge Teams Effectiveness Profile (KTEP)

“A model of effectiveness for teams that use knowledge as their key resource.”

The KTEP assesses 17 factors that have been shown to be critical for success in teams that use knowledge as their key resource. The factors are grouped into four clusters: leadership, resources, processes and dynamics.

What can it do for me?

• Provides an assessment of your team’s perceived effectiveness and a comparison with other teams in your organisation, industry, country or region.
• Gives practical and specific guidelines for enhancing your team’s performance.
• Generates a comprehensive manual or workbook that can be incorporated into your Learning Management System (LMS) or development programs.
• Enables on-going monitoring for continuous team learning and improvement.

Wave

“The dynamic Wave personality questionnaire puts a powerful predictor of workplace performance in your hands.”

The Wave assessment is underpinned by over 15 years of big data and global research and provides a reliable means of predicting workplace performance.

What can it do for me?

• Reduce the odds of hiring a poor performer from 1 in 5 to 1 in 50.
• Help power an integrated talent strategy and focus on what matters most in the workplace.
• Deliver better diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) outcomes globally.
