Know Your Strengths with the Kolbe Assessment
KOLBE A™ INDEX:
The Kolbe Index (Instinct Test) is unique. It does not measure intelligence, personality or social style. It is a test that measures the instinctive ways you take action when you strive.
The result of your assessment will describe your natural strengths and is called your method of operation – or your Kolbe MO. It’s the only validated assessment that measures a person’s conative strengths which define the way you take action and your approach to productivity.
Understanding your MO as your strengths and leveraging it to do more in every aspect of your daily life – including running your business – will lead to significant insights and personal growth.
Knowing your Kolbe MO will open up a world of possibilities and a path for growing your business and working with your clients that makes sense to and for you. How? Your Kolbe results will give you permission to lean into your inherent strengths and forgo the rest.
This is a 20-minute assessment with 36 questions. There are two responses for each question – MOST and LEAST. Choose ONE response for the way you would MOST likely act if you were free to be yourself, and then choose ONE response for the action you are LEAST likely to take.
There are no right or wrong answers. If you are not sure which option to choose, ask yourself what you would do, “if free to be myself.” More reading: Understanding the Kolbe RightFit Process for Hiring the Perfect Team
How Kolbe is different from other
online assessments
Assessments have historically focused on measuring the cognitive (IQ) and the affective (personality) parts of the mind. While this can be helpful in selecting, training and managing people, they only offer a partial picture of a person’s full potential. IQ scores are influenced by opportunities to learn, and being smart doesn’t necessarily predict success. Personality traits are situational, and people who seem agreeable don’t always do a job successfully or accomplish team goals.
What's Missing?
The Third Part of the Mind
Understanding how instincts combine with intelligence and personality will help you create and maintain a less stressful work environment with employees who are more satisfied and productive:
- 🔵 Understand your own natural instincts and strengths
- 🔵 Identify the talent you have on board and the instinctive strengths they bring to the table
- 🔵 Lead team members to achieve greater productivity and efficiency
- 🔵 Hire More Effectively
