Psychometrics & Leadership Development

What is it?

Psychometrics is the theory and technique of psychological measurement.

There are various ways to measure and report on skills, knowledge, abilities, aptitudes and personality traits. There's a range of tools that we can use through the Lumina Learning, Myers Briggs Company, Saville, BeTalent and ABLE but I tend to focus on the tools below for individuals and teams as these offer people the most insight in developing their leadership skills.

Each of the tools have been linked up to the if you're keen to get more information (below).

I also have a whole range of workshops & webinars on things like:

Leadership Development
Inclusive Leadership - Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Leading Change
Coaching and Listening Skills
Resilience and Wellbeing
Creating Motivated Teams
Team Dynamics & Myers Briggs Type Indicator
Managing Conflict
Action Learning Set Facilitation

Lumina Spark is my preferred psychometric for working with coaching clients and teams.

Lumina Spark is a trait based psychometric which measures 72 qualities independently to give people a really personalised portrait of their personality to:

Increase self-awareness
Work together better to create better results
Improve working relationships and productivity
Cope better with stress

What are the Benefits?

Psychometric tools are a great way to provoke discussion, learning and insight. Depending on the tool being used, the benefits might include:

Clarity on your strengths and areas for development
Understanding yourself and others
Enhancing your emotional intelligence
Improve your resilience and well-being
More constructively dealing with conflict
Careers guidance for getting started

How does it work?

Each tool is used slightly differently, so it would depend on which one we're using. The tools are proprietary and there would be a charge from the Myers Briggs Company or BeTalent for usage.
