Why is Berman better?
We reach further into personality.
Combine behavioral and occupational data in one assessment
There are many factors that affect a person’s career performance and satisfaction. Just looking at motivations doesn’t give the full picture.
- We measure how employees relate to the people around them through their
communication style, giving insights into potential gaps in an organization’s communication or culture. - We have data on the typical Interests, Usual Behavior, and Needs of individuals in a variety of job fields, so respondents can see how closely they match the complete personality profile of people tenured in different careers.
Examine personality and perceptions in a social context
The Birkman Method is distinct because it taps into what an individual believes about “most people” around them, providing a unique glimpse into one’s perception of both self and others.
- Social context of a person’s Behavior promotes better self-management and awareness of their own extremes relative to social norms.
- By seeing the ways others perceive the world, an individual can better respect and empathize with their colleagues.
Only assessment that captures underlying needs
Needs vary widely between people, and they are not observed simply from behavior – this is one of the reasons why Birkman is unique in measuring them.
- By understanding one’s own needs, individuals are better able to recharge, stay motivated, and avoid stress behavior.
- By understanding an employee’s needs, a manager is able to provide the support to improve morale, increase productivity, and better facilitate communication.
