Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I get career information in the Basics Report?

The Basics Report will also cover your strengths, your interests, and your Birkman Map. Our careertyping Report will go more in-depth with career exploration.
Q: What are the limitations of the Basics Report?
A: Basics does not include our Birkman Components, the secret sauce that we’re known for. Basics is a great report for an overview of personality types without getting too in-depth. Basics is not designed for tackling goals such as conflict resolution, leadership development, in-depth awareness building, or hiring for high-value positions. Instead, get started with Basics for training or team-building activities that don’t require deeper insights.

A: Our self-interpreted reports are easy-to-use and provide you with key takeaways about your personality at work.
