Assessment Solutions for Every Situation
A Multi-Science Approach to Assessments
DO YOU HAVE…
- A proven way to DISCOVER the “right” talent?
- A system in place to ENGAGE your people?
- A method to ADVANCE your top performers focusing on the “right” job-related skills?
- Metrics to measure PERFORMANCE?
Using one assessment could reveal the answer to one or two of these questions. But you would only see the partial picture.
Multiple sciences progressively reveal more of the entire person — what they do, how they do it and why they do the things they do.
We also embrace a philosophy that measures both the presence and absence of behavior, and acceptance and avoidance.
We use a data pool of millions of individuals collected over several decades to further refine our assessments.
When using assessments for Selection
The PREDICTABILITY OF SUCCESS IN SELECTION . . . is
60% when using ONE science
80% when using TWO sciences
93% success when using THREE sciences
Science #1 - Behaviours
TTI Success Insights® DISC
Measured in four proportions (Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Compliance), Behaviours/DISC reveal how an individual will perform, including how he/she prefers to communicate, what he or she will bring to a team, his or her ideal environment and possible limitations he or she may face.
TTI SI’s behavioural research suggests that the most effective people are those who understand themselves, both their strengths and weaknesses, so they can develop strategies to meet the demands of their environment.
TTI Success Insights’ assessments measuring Behaviors/DISC examine an individual’s dominance, influence, steadiness and compliance, revealing the ways in which one responds to the following:
- Problems and Challenges
- Influencing Others
- Pace of Environment
- Rules and Procedures
The behaviours portion of our assessments measures 12 behavioural traits to help you understand your behavioural hierarchy. Your top 4 are considered your behavioural strengths.

Science #2 - 12 Driving Forces® (Motivators)
Driving forces uncovers what motivates and engages an individual in his/her work and personal life. At the core of 12 Driving Forces are 6 motivators, rooted in Eduard Spranger’s esteemed research from 1928. Backed by decades of research, the instrument reveals 12 Driving Forces that uniquely define what sparks movement and ambition in each of us.
Just as TTI SI’s behavioural (or DISC) assessments help tell us understand how people behave and perform in a work environment, our 12 Driving Forces™ assessment reveals why they do what they do and what impacts their decision-making.
12 Driving Forces examines the relative prominence of the following:
- Instinctive/Intellectual (Knowledge)
- Selfless/Resourceful (Utility)
- Objective/Harmonious (Surroundings)
- Intentional/Altruistic (Others)
- Collaborative/Commanding (Power)
- Receptive/Structured (Methodologies)

Science #3 - 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 to be successful.
Research at TTI SI has shown that, for many jobs, personal skills (or soft skills) are just as important as technical skills in producing superior performance. Personal 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 skills, ranking them from the most well developed skill to the one requiring the greatest level of further development.
While not every job requires the development of all 25 Competencies, our assessment examines the following personal skills:
- Appreciating Others
- Conflict Management
- Continuous Learning
- Creativity and Innovation
- Conceptual Thinking
- Customer Focus
- Decision Making
- Diplomacy
- Employee Development/Coaching
- Flexibility
- Futuristic Thinking
- Goal Orientation
- Influencing Others
- Interpersonal Skills
- Leadership
- Negotiation
- Personal Accountability
- Planning and Organizing
- Problem Solving
- Project Management
- Resiliency
- Self Starting
- Teamwork

Behavioural research suggests that the most effective people are those who understand themselves, both their strengths and weaknesses, so they can develop strategies to meet the demands of their environment. This report measures the four dimensions of normal behaviour: dominance, influence, steadiness and compliance.
Motivators help to initiate one’s behaviour and are sometimes called the hidden motivators because they are not always readily observed. It is the purpose of this report to help illuminate and amplify some of those motivating factors and to build on the strengths that each person
brings to the work environment.
The Emotional Quotient (EQ) is a measure of your ability to sense, understand, and effectively apply the power and acumen of your emotions and the emotions of others in order to facilitate high levels of collaboration and productivity.
EI stands for Emotional Intelligence. EQ stands for Emotional Quotient which is the measure of emotional intelligence.
This competency assessment measures what an individual “has done” in 25 research-based competencies related to the professional work environment. The personalized report ranks the individual’s competencies according to “well developed”, “developed”, “moderately developed” and “needs development”.
6 DIMENSIONS OF THOUGHTS
Understanding Others
Practical Thinking
Systems Judgment
Sense of Self
Role Awareness
Self Direction
Science #4 - Acumen
Acumen is assessed using three dimensions of thought, analyzing both world and self-views:
- Intrinsic (feeling)
- Extrinsic (doing)
- Systemic (thinking)
Acumen, or a person’s keenness and depth of perception, identifies how a person thinks. TTI SI’s Acumen indicators can be considered a lens that people use to filter information: do they process events from a people standpoint, a task standpoint or a system standpoint?
A person’s Acumen, or clarity in understanding a situation, could be directly related to their performance. Our assessments measuring Acumen examine the six dimensions of thought.

Science #5 - Emotional Quotient™ (EQ)
Emotional Intelligence is an individual’s ability to sense, understand and effectively apply the power and acumen of emotions to facilitate high levels of collaboration and productivity. EQor emotional quotient is the measure of emotional intelligence.
Our research indicates that successful leaders and superior performers have well developed EI skills. This enables them to work well with a wide variety of people and respond effectively to the rapidly changing conditions in today’s business environment.
EQ measures five key areas pertaining to intrapersonal and interpersonal relations:
Self Awareness
Self Regulation
Motivation
Empathy
Social Skills

Science-Based Research
Neurological Research
With the goal of continuous improvement, TTI SI has expanded its assessment research to include the neurological basis of decision-making and the implications this has for its assessments. The result has been nothing short of amazing.
Since 2011, TTI SI has gained insights into how humans process information and as a result, have improved our assessments in ways never before dreamed possible. TTI SI’s cutting-edge Prefrontal Cortex Gamma Asymmetry research is impacting ipsative assessments and appraisal research protocols worldwide. They have uncovered the role of aversion in decisions, the value of native tongue translations, the power of what we do NOT want and much-much more.
To better understand the science behind the Science of Self®, please feel free to download any of the related articles and white papers in our Resources tab.
TTI SI not only offers the best collection of multiple science assessments, it is uncovering the causes and not just exposing the symptoms.
ACCEPTANCE is observed by an increase in gamma activity in the left frontal lobe, as opposed to the right lobe. Thus indicating how a subject feels about the stimuli (in this case, a word or short phrase) that they are observing.
Your Language Matters
Your brain connects to language at different levels. When you take an assessment in your native tongue, your brain makes the strongest connection. We locally translate our assessments to capture even the most subtle language nuances and variations, providing the most accurate assessment results.
Vanessa Boettcher, vice president of TTI SI International, speaks four languages. Her brain scan image (pictured) shows the strongest connection to the word enthusiastic with her first language, Spanish.
“Even though I have spoken English during my entire adult and professional life, my report is still most accurate when I respond in my native tongue.”
