Smarter Teams Choose the Big Five

The gold standard in scientifically-grounded personality profiling – helping teams and leaders connect, perform at their best, and create workplaces people love.

Our approach is grounded in the Big Five model of personality (OCEAN) and backed by decades of psychological research. Training can be preceded by the gold-standard NEO-PI assessment, offering a deeper grounding in how your team thinks, works, and interacts – without rigid labels or fixed “types.”
