Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What are the limitations of the Birkman 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. Rather, get started with Basics for training or team-building activities that don’t require deeper insights.
Q. What support does Birkman provide as I get started with Basics?
A. We will provide you with:
- Ongoing Birkman emails, blog content, recorded webinars, etc.
- The support team is available to answer questions.
- Birkman User Group online, where you can ask questions to experienced users and our team.
