Diagnostic Tools

 
 

Kristen Cooper is certified to provide:

  • Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)

This tool measures psychological preferences in how people take in information, relate to the world around them and make decisions.  The information enhances self-awareness about motivations, natural strengths and areas for development.  This is an easy to relate to interpretation of Carl Jung’s theory of psychological types.  It is ideal for leadership and team development.

  • Fundamental Interpersonal Relationship Orientation – Behaviour (FIRO-B) and FIRO - Business

This tool measures behaviour that derives from interpersonal needs.  It is helpful for building self-awareness involving one-to-one relationships, team work, career development, organisational culture and leadership development.  The FIRO tools are based on William Schutz’s work to help individuals and teams improve interpersonal effectiveness and satisfaction working and relating with others. They are ideal for leadership and team development.

  • Hogan Personality Instruments

These tools include the Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI) – a measure of normal personality, based on the ‘big five’ personality dimensions (surgency, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness to experience); the Hogan Development Survey (HDS) – a measure of career-derailing tendencies, including patterns of behaviour that impede work relationships, hamper productivity, or limit career potential; and the Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory (MVPI) – a measure of core values that are key to work and life satisfaction.   The tools consider individual identity and reputation, and are based on the research work of psychologists Robert and Joyce Hogan.  They are useful for selection processes and leadership development. 

  • SHL / CEB instruments

Kris is also accredited to offer a variety of the tools SHL /CEB offer for selection and development, including ability tests and the popular Occupational Personality Questionnaire.

  • 360-Degree Feedback

Kris is an accredited Leadership Circle Profile provider, and has also gained accreditation for the Genos Emotional Intelligence tool.  She runs feedback sessions on the Kouzes and Posner 360-Degree Leadership tool for the University of Otago Executive Education programmes, and has designed and coordinated tailored 360-degree feedback instruments.

All instruments Kris uses draw on researched models, and offer respondent confidentiality, with personal report, debrief and development planning with the individual who is requesting feedback.
