MBTI

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®(MBTI®) assessment is one of the world’s most popular personality tools, providing positive language for understanding and valuing individual differences. Paramount Potentials is a certified partner and administers the MBTI assessment to organizations Nationwide. Understanding these types gives your employees objective insight that they can use to enhance their professional and personal relationships, as well as their direction, focus, and choices.

The MBTI assessment helps associates identify their natural preferences in four areas of personality:

• How do you direct and receive energy—by focusing on the outside world, interacting with people and taking action, or by focusing on your inner world and reflecting on ideas, memories, and experiences?
• How do you take in information—by focusing on what you perceive using your five senses or by seeing the big picture and looking for relationships and patterns?
• How do you decide and come to conclusions—by logically analyzing the situation or by considering what’s important to the people involved?
• How do you approach the outside world—in a planned, orderly way or a more flexible, spontaneous way?

Strong Interest Inventory

The Strong Interest Inventory®assessment provides robust insight into a person’s interests, allowing organizations to help associates consider potential careers, their educational path and succession planning options.

This assessment helps individuals identify their work personality by exploring their interests in six broad areas: realistic, artistic, investigative, social, enterprising, and conventional.  It then breaks the areas into 30 specific areas of interest that can be directly related to fields of study, careers, and leisure activities. In addition, it describes an individual’s personal style preferences in five areas: work style, learning environment, team orientation, leadership style, and risk taking.

FIRO‑B® Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation

The Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation™ (FIRO®) assessment helps people understand their interpersonal needs and how those needs influence their communication style and behavior. Based on one’s social needs, FIRO provides data and insights into people’s working relationships and requirements.

While gaining self awareness, employees learn how to develop better team-building skills as well as leader development and conflict management skills. (FIRO®) assessments include:

• Relationship enhancement—By uncovering areas in which individuals may not meet the interpersonal needs of customers and stakeholders, the FIRO assessment promotes behavior changes that can help people build better relationships and performance.
• Team building—FIRO insights accelerate team building and enable team members to recognize and overcome potential barriers that could prevent them from working together effectively.
• Leader and executive development—The FIRO assessment helps leaders and executives unlock performance improvement by better meeting the needs of peers, direct reports and others.
• Conflict management—FIRO results empower people to recognize when the way they express themselves is likely to conflict with the needs of others, thereby enabling them to avoid, assess, and resolve interpersonal challenges.
• Emotional intelligence development—The FIRO model builds success on the fundamental awareness that different people have different needs.
