Competencies
Measuring 25 research-based personal skills directly related to the business environment. Applied in conjunction with a job benchmark, Competencies ensure the skills of each individual match the soft skills required by the job.
Research has validated that, for many jobs, personal/leadership skills (soft skills) are just as important as technical skills in producing superior performance. Personal/Leadership skills are often transferable to different jobs, whereas technical skills are usually more specific.
Our assessments measuring Competencies examine the level of development of 25 unique personal/leadership skills, ranking them from the most well developed skill to the one requiring the greatest level of further development.
