Therefore, we use validated behavioral insights for empowering people and businesses worldwide to communicate more effectively and make smart decisions, capitalizing on their strengths and managing their struggles.

We deploy our proprietary “Behavior Tech Platform” directly inside businesses so that they can access on a real-time basis scalable and easy to use online behavioral management solutions to “Know, Engage and Grow” every employee and client.

The DNA Behavior Methodology and Research

Our system is designed to reliably assess 8 major personality factors as well as 24 related sub-factors. These behavior measurements are more specific than Costa and McCrae’s (1985) measure of the “Big Five” and other personality inventories. The DNA Behavior Discovery process excels at capturing how people make decisions, interact and build relationships, set and achieve goals, how to manage different risks and learning styles.

          • The most academically sound psychometric model for reliably predicting behavior is a properly constructed Forced-Choice Scoring Model.
          • The traditionally used questionnaire formats have been academically proven to not produce sufficiently accurate or reliable predictions of behavior.
          • The traditionally used formats allow for self promotion and a higher chance of faking.
          • Independent academic research shows that the inflation of scores under a traditional questionnaire format is one standard deviation higher than under a Forced-Choice (Ipsative) format.
