The Everything DiSC assessments cultivate self-awareness, which is a critical aspect for leaders, teams, and employees. DiSC’s results are also easy to understand and explain.
Improving performance can be simplified, but we believe this approach leaves out insights that can help teams and organizations do better work.
We Help Teams and Leaders Be Their Most Productive Selves
Some assessments provide macro-level data, which doesn’t paint the full picture. When thinking of organizational performance, you must look at the big picture, but also at the nuances that make up individual personalities.
Birkman is the only assessment to measure an individual’s needs, which are invisible to others, yet describe how we prefer to be treated, supported, and motivated. With this data, teams and leaders can improve relationships through understanding unspoken workplace expectations.
We Provide Employees With Personalized Tips to Manage Stress
Unfortunately, stress in the workplace is common, but not all assessments provide customized tips for stress management. Understanding what causes personal stress and how to manage it is critical to avoid burnout.
That’s why Birkman helps employees build self-awareness of stress-induced behaviors and provides coping strategies when faced with stressful situations. We believe it’s important to foster a resilient workforce to improve performance.
We Inspire Workplace Motivation
Because the cost of turnover is high, it’s important that organizations provide awareness into activities that foster engagement and provide long-term workplace satisfaction. But many assessments do not measure workplace interests.
Birkman believes it’s important to provide employees with the awareness of what tasks, roles, and activities give them the most energy and which ones result in fatigue. In turn, you’ll promote employee engagement and retention.
The Birkman is the gold standard of behavioral assessments. I consider it the DiSC on steroids. At our firm, we use Birkman for one-on-one coaching, leadership training, and team-based activities.
“There are over 14,000 teams at Intel, and we needed a tool to support teams that were forming, storming, and reforming. Birkman is such a powerful and versatile solution, helping teams improve communication, understanding and empathy for each other. I know it’s working when I hear teams start to joke with each other about their Birkman Colors or stress behaviors. Plus, Birkman’s support is fantastic. They make the teambuilding process easy!”

Job satisfaction isn’t one-size-fits-all, and employee engagement can have a ripple effect on an organization’s culture.
Birkman helps employees understand their unique interests and needs, ultimately improving overall performance. We also help managers understand the motivators of their employees, improving morale and reducing turnover.
Sometimes personality differences impede performance and development. You just need the right tool to help teams productively resolve conflict.
That’s where Birkman comes in, giving all teams the potential to turn into a high-performing team. By helping teams understand perceptual gaps, leverage each other’s strengths, and create an environment of psychological safety, you can maximize effectiveness and collaboration.
Birkman doesn’t fit anyone into a mold. Instead, our data gives leaders and executives a positive, deep understanding of themselves to make the most profound impact.
When leaders can consistently leverage their own strengths and mitigate possible reactive behaviors, they are empowered to become better leaders of others. In turn, they can lead teams more effectively, providing team members with the clarity they need to keep moving forward.
We don’t put sales professionals into a box. There isn’t a specific sales profile, despite what other assessments say. It’s all about forming and developing relationships by increasing self and other awareness.
We empower sales teams to leverage their natural strengths, better connect with and understand different personality types, and understand the motivations of others to make a sale.
The Birkman Method assessment is reliable. The assessment's high test-retest reliability ensures consistent results over time, while its high internal consistency reliability reflects strong correlations among the assessment's questions, yielding reliable measurement of traits. These two types of reliability establish the assessment's overall accuracy and dependability.
The Birkman Method assessment is also valid. The assessment's content covers the intended construct domains of interest through research-based development, ensuring content validity. It demonstrates its face validity through the subjective evaluation of the constructs measured by its respondents. Additionally, the assessment demonstrates convergent construct validity and divergent construct validity, respectively, by positively correlating with similar measures and negatively correlating with measures of unrelated constructs. Lastly, The Birkman Method has criterion-related validity through established relationships with various work-related outcomes, such as job performance, career satisfaction, leadership effectiveness, and team dynamics. These five types of validity together establish the assessment's overall validity.
We instruct all Signature Certification participants about the importance of unwaveringly interpreting The Birkman Method results with uniformity, irrespective of one's racial or religious background.
