Assessment Services
Personal assessments help people learn new things about themselves, understand how they come across to others who work with them and increase self-awareness. For each assessment, GTC LLC provides access to an online platform on which clients can take the assessment and receive a full report of the results in digital format. Once the assessment results have been received, clients meet either face-to-face or virtually for a personalized debrief session with a certified practitioner from GTC LLC. Here is an overview of the assessments that GTC LLC provides for leaders, sales professionals, non-supervisory employees, and teams.
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Personality Instrument (MBTI) 
The MBTI assessment helps individuals discover their personality type. Not only is it designed for people who want to increase their self-awareness, but it can help them to understand how they can best use their personality type both in the workplace and at home. Within organizations, the MBTI framework is used as a foundation to optimize leadership development, interpersonal communication, change management, creation of high-performing teams, stress management, and individual development. Furthermore, schools, colleges, and universities can use MBTI personality assessments to reveal their students’ natural learning styles, enable them to make better decisions about courses and majors, and give them more confidence when choosing a career path.
GTC LLC provides its clients access to an online platform on which to take the assessment. This is followed by a one-to-one session with a certified MBTI practitioner who provides an in-depth debrief and interpretation of the assessment results. The debrief session can be followed up by ongoing individual coaching and/or group training.
The Strong Interest Inventory
The Strong Interest Inventory® (Strong) assessment is used for career development, planning, or change. It looks at the following six broad categories of occupations, or themes: realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, and conventional (RIASEC). It identifies where a person’s interests lie. It then uses information about the person’s personality and work style, plus empirical data, to find over 100 suitable roles. The roles are ranked to show the 10 most compatible. The Strong is a wonderful way to get people excited about their career possibilities.
Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI)
The TKI is an assessment that reveals which of the five conflict modes an individual may be using too much, too little, or just right. This online assessment creates self-awareness about an individual’s conflict-handling behavior. Not only will clients gain knowledge about using each of the five conflict-handling modes, but they will also sharpen their skills for resolving a variety of conflicts and problems encountered either at work or at home. Each individual who takes the TKI assessment can also take the MBTI personality assessment to discover how their personality type influences the conflict mode they tend to use most often. The TKI is also ideal for use within teams in order to help them effectively resolve conflicts that arise among team members.
Genos Emotional Intelligence Assessments
Everyone has emotions. It‘s a simple fact – a part of our being human. Whether we realize it or not, these emotions impact us every day. They also impact those around us, both in the workplace and in our personal lives. Studies have shown that high levels of emotional intelligence boost career success, mental health, relationships, and happiness. Higher levels of emotionally intelligent workplace behavior are also the best antidote to work stress and building personal resilience. GTC LLC is a certified reseller of the Genos International emotional intelligence products that include four types of assessments:
- Workplace behavior reports for individuals and teams who want to develop their emotional intelligence
- Leadership behavior reports for leaders who want to better connect, influence, and inspire others
- Sales behavior reports for salespeople who want to be more capable of regulating their own emotions, adapting, and authentically connecting with the emotions of buyers to create positive and productive interactions
- Selection reports for hiring managers who want to measure how often a candidate demonstrates emotional intelligence in the workplace.
Clients can choose to do a self-assessment in which they assess their own emotional intelligence. A second option is to undergo a 180° assessment which contains feedback from one colleague group in addition to an optional self-assessment. A third possibility is to undergo a 360° assessment which provides information about how well an individual demonstrates emotionally intelligent behavior, how important it is to colleagues that they do so, and qualitative comments from multiple rater groups.
When using the selection reports, hiring managers can use emotional intelligence measures as an additional means of making the best possible hiring decisions.
