Advanced Professional Series     See all available “Advanced Professional Series” >>>
The Advanced Professional Series is comprised of seven modules found within the four interpretation courses listed below.

• Exploring Patterns in Perceptions and Personality (1 course)
  One of the key Birkman Method concepts to master is understanding crucial patterns that show up in the instrument and knowing how to shape your conversation with a respondent-based on what fits and doesn’t fit those patterns. Patterns in Perception and Personality takes you on an in-depth journey that covers the application of scoring patterns from the macro (social desirability patterns that show in the instrument) to the micro (scoring patterns on individual components) and how you can use these to better understand how your clients see the world or might react in a situation.

• Interpreting Components (3 courses)
  The depth of your Birkman Component knowledge and interpretation insight will either inform or transform your conversations. Interpreting Components takes you on a deep exploration of the nine behavioral Components—from their historical names to language purity, common scoring patterns, and everything in-between. Join in on this three-part course to submerge into the heart of the method—the Birkman Components.

• Birkman Molecule & Five-Factor Model (1 course)
  Personality psychologists believe there are five basic dimensions of personality, often referred to as the “Big 5” personality traits. But how does this Five-Factor Model (FFM) relate to The Birkman Method (TBM)? Join this class to dig deeper into the FFM, participate in advanced discussions and activities through selected Birkman data, and learn about the Birkman Molecule. Participants should expect fun chemistry and a great reaction to the content!

• Impact of Component Combinations (2 courses, 2 hours each)
  Alone, each of the Birkman Components provides a glimpse into an individual’s perceptions. Combined, they tell a rich story of the behavioral impact an individual will create in the social world around them. Impact of Component Combinations is a two-part course that walks participants through the impact of scoring patterns when interpreted through powerful behavioral pairings.
