The MBTI tool is the most widely used personality instrument in the world, with over two million taking it annually.

It is a forced choice, self-report, personality questionnaire used to measure and describe people's preferences for how they like to get information, make decisions and orient their lives. It is based on Carl Jung's theory of perception and judgment and classifies people
into 16 broad personality Types.

The MBTI tool provides a simple way of seeing how people are alike and how they differ.
When people are aware of their differences, they can build better understanding and
reduce conflict. The MBTI thus helps to improve teamwork and productivity whilst
reducing unproductive interpersonal and intra-organisational conflict.

Individuals can use their MBTI results to understand their preferred learning styles,
evaluate the fit between themselves and their jobs and better manage time and stress.
It is also very effective for profiling teams and developing team effectiveness.
English, Chinese [Simplified and Traditional Mandarin] and other language versions
are available.

Administration takes 15-25 minutes. Questionnaires are self-scorable or on-line.

For the last 25 years the TKI instrument has been the leader in conflict resolution assessment. Internal and external HR and OD consultants use it as a catalyst to open discussions and lead learning about how our conflict-handling styles affect personal and group dynamics.

TKI workshops seek to provide a forum for participants to see through the fear, anger and frustration of conflict to the opportunities and potential for constructive outcomes.

The powerful TKI model demonstrates that conflict-handling behaviours are neither good nor bad. Rather, conflict resolution is simply a matter of expanding skills sets and choosing the most effective group of behaviours for a particular situation.

The forced-choice TKI inventory provides individual information about one’s conflict-handling style in relation to five distinct modes:

TKI is a non-restricted item.
Administration takes approx 15 minutes. Questionnaires are self-scorable or on-line.

The Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i^®) is the first scientifically validated and most widely used Emotional Intelligence assessment in the world. Based on more than 20 years of research worldwide, the EQ-i examines an individual’s social and emotional strengths and weaknesses.

Respondents self-report on their life and workplace performance in 15 key areas of emotional skill that have been proven to contribute to proficiency in complex business activities such as conflict resolution and planning. By identifying the areas that need improvement, the client can immediately begin developing those areas. At the same time, areas where the client excels can be leveraged to their full potential to maximize effectiveness in daily tasks.

Available to qualified administrators.
Administration takes up to 30 minutes. Questionnaires are on-line.
A wide range of reports can be produced [see Sample Reports] and there are extensive support materials, literature and research manuals available [See Price List].

While the EQ-i^® identifies the level of a client’s emotional and social functioning based on his or her responses, the EQ-360^® assessment provides a more in-depth analysis by having those who work closely with the client provide information as well. When observer ratings are compared with the results of a standard EQ-i self-report, a more complete 360-degree profile emerges.

The EQ-360 is ideal for use in organizations where developing effective communication between individuals, teams, and the entire organization is crucial to success. The EQ-360 identifies key employee strengths that can be leveraged to the benefit of the organization, as well as impediments to high performance that could be improved. The assessment process can also be used as a follow-up to formal coaching and to measure progress.

A range of reports can be produced [see Sample Reports] ranging from Yes/No recommendations to in-depth personalised reports based on the needs of the particular position and written by a psychologist. [See Price List].
