This study supports the need to offer our assessments in a person’s first language whenever possible. The brain imaging shows that while the brain has the same ultimate decision, the intensity is stronger when using a person’s native tongue.
This 2012 technical report is presently being revised. The new report will follow the template established in the 2019 EQ manual. This present report includes valuable historical data on reliability and includes an external review.
The use of our tools for teambuilding has implications not only in the workplace but in sports teams as well. This article documents the application of TriMetrix® DNA to enhance the performance of a premier level soccer team. The collection and application of knowledge gained regarding soft-skills, motivation, and behaviors is documented. The paper also references similar applications by national wrestling champion Anthony Robles, the Phoenix Suns and PGA and PPGA members.
One of the biggest challenges that higher education faces is preparing today’s students to meet future workforce demands. While adding workplace skills to the curriculum is essential, tools to measure these goals are required. TTI SI is providing these tools, and the results are being collected regarding behaviors, motivators and professional competencies.
This major research project involved seven surgical training programs that studied 117 residents’ TriMetrix® reports and compared these scores to their American Board of Surgery In-Training Examination scores (ABSITE). The goal was to see if TTI SI tools could help improve program retention by creating better job matches and identifying residents who might be at risk for substandard academic performance.
A method was sought to determine the intangible characteristics of applicants to a general surgery residency program, particularly an assessment of behavior and motivation. The hypothesis was that such information could contribute to a more objective analysis of how well an applicant might fit into a program and its culture, and therefore improve the residents’ chance for success and reduce the attrition rate.
The consultant was able to discern personal traits and characteristics that did or did not appear to be a good fit for the structure and culture of a surgical training program. These new key personal attributes had not been previously recognized through the traditional resume and interviewing process.
There is a great need to develop a new class of entrepreneurially minded engineers in America. The research presented in this work is an effort to address these dire needs by identifying the required competencies, behaviors and motivators.
