SDI Assessments

The SDI is a personality assessment that describes how different aspects of personality work together. It provides insights about people’s motives, strengths, and how they experience conflict to illuminate why people do what they do and how they relate to others. These insights contribute to increased awareness of self and others and help individuals and teams build trust and form productive relationships.

SDI Assessments

With a focus on our Motives, the SDI 2.0 provides a critical connection to a key leadership skill – the “art of influence.” It is easier to communicate with and influence someone when what’s important to them is understood. This insight helps you choose the best approach for engaging people whose thinking and behavior appear much different from your own.

The SDI 2.0 produces four interrelated views of a person:

1.
Motivational Value System

A personality type when things are going well.

2.
Conflict Sequence

A personality type when experiencing conflict.

3.
Strengths Portrait

A ranking of productive strengths used at work.

4.
Overdone Strengths Portrait

A ranking of non-productive strengths used at work.

Training

Our training focuses on applying SDI 2.0 results to real-life work situations or relationships.

With a greater understanding of their motives, your team will learn to access a wider array of strengths, making them more adaptable—and successful—in dealing with others.

1.
Master Strengths

Learn how to express views and be heard by people whose motives are different from yours. Choosing the right strength for the moment changes everything.

2.
Correct Perceptions

Understanding why people focus on particular issues helps develop the ability to listen and incorporate multiple points-of-view to the benefit of group decision-making.

3.
Stay Focused

In high-stakes situations, substantive discussion can quickly shift into personal attacks. Learning how people react to conflict and identifying triggers early keeps conversations productive.

4.
Embrace Differences

Gaining perspective on what motivates your leader and other members of your team embed a culture of appreciation, which increases individual commitment to achieving shared outcomes.
