What this isn’t

Almost nobody in this category tells you what their product can’t do. Here is what this one isn’t.

• It isn’t a personality assessment.

  It measures what you do, not who you are underneath. Behavior changes with the room. That’s the point.

• It isn’t feedback.

  Nobody on your team is contacted or assessed. One section asks how you think your team would describe you, and the gap between that and how you actually lead is the useful part. But it’s your assumption being measured, not their answer.

• It isn’t a ranking.

  There is no best style. The report tells you what yours costs the people around you, and it does that for all four.

• It isn’t a score.

  No number out of a hundred, no grade, no percentile against anybody else.

• It isn’t a hiring tool.

  Don’t use it to select people. It wasn’t built for that and it isn’t validated for it.

• It isn’t finished.

  It’s a new instrument, and we’re specific about what that means. See where validation stands →
