Understanding Assessments Used by Service Providers

In today’s episode, I am sharing the different types of assessments. These are particularly important in the hiring process. I’m diving deeper into the significance of the Kolbe A assessment and how knowing this can make a difference as a DOO!

the three parts of the brain

There are three parts of the brain: cognitive (thinking), affective (feeling), and conative (doing). The cognitive part of the mind is about understanding what we can do. The affective part is about our values, personality, and emotions. The conative part is about our innate strengths.

The Different Assessments

  • Predictive Index and Wonderlic – These pull from the cognitive part of the brain.
  • The DiSC, Myer’s Briggs, Strength Finders, and the Enneagram – These are looking at the affective (the feeling) part of the brain.
  • Kolbe A assessment – This is a conative assessment.

Understanding the Conative Part of the Brain

It’s important to understand the conative part of your brain, with an assessment such as the Kolbe A assessment, because it is responsible for taking action and executing tasks. This helps us to understand how an individual is going to work when hired.

Why the Kolbe A is the One I Recommend

The Kolbe A assessment is the only one that is going to measure your effort to your energy. Your results are also focused on your strengths and how you solve problems. It’s a completely unbiased, valid, and reliable assessment!

Again, it’s important to know what your results are and what the results are of the individuals that you may be hiring. If you aren’t sure what your Kolbe A assessment is, check it out here.

 “It is massively important for operators to understand what someone’s natural innate strengths are because it allows us to put them in the best roles and develop people on our teams.” -Natalie Gingrich
