Why TTI Enforces Our Intellectual Property Protection Plans
Developing personal attribute assessments and related tools is a costly and time-consuming process. TTI invests significant resources, including money, time, and talent…
Why Does TTI SI request that you help gather demographic information along with our assessments?
This short white paper explains why we collect demographic information and highlights the multitude of uses for this crucial information, including meeting EEOC requirements and our ongoing benchmarking of over 700 O*NET jobs. The paper also points out that when these questions are posed, over 90 percent of participants respond to each and every question. In summary, this paper provides a rationale for turning on demographics and helping the entire network learn more about our participants, and yours.
The Different Aspects of Personality and Why They Matter
This white paper takes a look at personality, what it is and isn’t, if it can be measured, and the science behind personality-based assessments. The paper explains the difference between “personality tests” which tend to place a person in a box, by assigning a ‘type’ or identifier, and more focused personality-based assessments, which measure defined components of one’s personality.
Natural Versus Adapted DISC Graphs
TTI SI recently received a request to provide a research-supported rationale for TTI SI’s use of natural and adapted DISC graphs in our reports. This is a good reminder that some things are so obvious to us internally that we fail to provide the outside world with the documentation needed to understand our decisions. The graphic separation of the DISC data is a great example. This paper will not only explain how these two graphs provide crucial differentiating information, it will also point out how a single averaged DISC graph can be very misleading when trying to understand human behavior.
