GROWTH, TOGETHER

ASSESSMENTS FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

We get it, there are a lot of options and it can be challenging to decide which is best for your needs at any moment. That is why we work with clients to understand your goals and select the assessment that fits your organization’s needs. Let’s chat about how Fringe PD can support you!

Fringe PD Assessments

At Fringe PD, we understand how challenging it can be to gather behavioral insights. That’s why we use tools that are quick and easy to implement.

DISC Behavioral Assessment

The DISC assessment is a non-judgmental tool used for exploring behavioral differences. The DISC model has been in existence for nearly 100 years and we combine this trusted science with the neuroscience of communication to help improve team efficiency.

Insights: Leadership Feedback

The Fringe Insights Upward Review/360 tool was developed by the Fringe team using our over 15 years of talent development experience. Our assessment covers five critical areas and allows scores to be compared with a group or self-assessment to increase effectiveness and driving behavioral change!

EQi: Emotional Intelligence

The EQi 2.0© assessment measures emotional intelligence and its impact on people. Emotional intelligence is a set of skills that influence the way we perceive and express ourselves, develop social relationships, cope with challenges, and use emotional information effectively.

1:1 Follow-Up Coaching

Help our folks make the most out of any assessment by providing a debrief with a certified Fringe PD Coach. We walk through the results and help your participants create an action plan for ongoing professional development.

Evidence-based

Our evidence-based approach gives anyone confidence in their ability to achieve results.

As experienced talent management professionals, we know how helpful assessments can be in developing self-awareness. We have seen professionals at all levels benefit from the key insights in each of our assessments to improve their performance and communication skills. 

You ask, we answer

Frequently asked questions about our assessment tools.

Yes! We agree that taking an assessment can be interesting, but sometimes it’s difficult to know how to use that information. Depending on the type of assessment, we work with you to craft the support that you and your organization need. This can be anything from a group workshop, to discussion guides for leaders, through individual coaching sessions for those who participated in the assessment. We also help you craft a plan for gathering this information over time so that participants can see how they’re developing as professionals. Schedule time to talk with us about your needs and our options.

We completely understand because we’ve been there! We have over fifteen years of working in talent management, and a not insignificant portion of that time was spent on administering review and feedback processes. So we designed our tool to be as painless for you as possible. We’d love to set you up with a demo so that you can see how it works!

Depending on the assessment you select, you will want to start the planning process at least 3-4 weeks before rolling it out. We typically recommend a 2-3 week “open period” for folks to respond to any assessment questionnaires. 

When using pyschometrics,  we always recommend using a scientifically valid assessment, like DISC and EQi.

Psychometric validity refers to an assessment’s potential to evaluate what it claims to measure. This simply means that high validity of a test guarantees that the test items or questions are closely linked to the test’s intended core focus. 

The Fringe Insights Assessment is a feedback capture tool and merely reflects back the feedback folks input into it, so it is not held to any validity metrics.
