Performance Assessment – The Attentional and Interpersonal Style
Inventory (TAIS)
A recent article about psychological testing in Inc. Magazine noted:
"If performance and execution are problems, then TAIS may be your
best option."
Performance under pressure – a common need in many business
environments today –
depends on your ability to:
• Concentrate
• Shift your focus between broad and narrow perspectives – for
example planning versus completing a report
• Shift your focus between internal and external targets – what
you’re thinking about versus what is going on around you.
The ability to adeptly shift attention to focus on task-relevant cues
when faced with uncertainty, deadlines, competing demands and scarce
resources cannot be done without shifting attention and focusing on
task- relevant information. And emotions can hijack our ability to
appropriately shift attention when needed.
This ability to shift attention to focus on task-relevant cues is
exactly what the TAIS measures.
(Learn how TAIS predicts managers’
commitment and ability to perform under pressure.)
Your detailed TAIS report identifies your strengths and weaknesses in
these important areas and in combination with a customized
feedback/coaching session you gain actionable insights on how to
increase your flexibility and performance success.
This self-report assessment can be completed online or using paper
and pencil. Contact Parallax for more
information or to purchase an assessment for individual or group use.
Conflict Style Assessment – The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode
Instrument (TKI)
Rather than being a negative, if addressed constructively conflict
can be an important springboard to creativity and innovation.
The TKI is the leading assessment to help people understand their own
approach to conflict and to help them work through the process of
resolving conflict productively. By answering just 30 statement-pair
items you discover your preferred style of handling conflict. The
assessment interpretation and feedback report helps identify
appropriate uses for each of the five styles and steps to take to
increase their comfort when using their less-preferred styles.
(View sample
report) By
combining the report with a customized feedback and coaching session,
you gain even more actionable insights and have the opportunity to
role play and examine different situations.
The TKI can be used as a stand-alone tool by individuals or as part
of a team or group learning experience. It can be completed as a
paper and pencil assessment and self scored or taken online. Contact
Parallax for more information or to
purchase an assessment for individual or group use.
