Format: Virtual
Date: December 02, 2025
On December 2, 2025, we hosted an engaging online session for coaches, HR professionals, and organizational leaders: “Not All Psychometric Tools Are Created Equal: How to Choose the Right One”.
Over the course of one hour, participants explored:
- What makes a psychometric tool reliable and relevant
- Side‑by‑side comparisons of MTQPlus, DISC, MBTI, Hogan, StrengthsFinder, SHL/OPQ, Korn Ferry, and more
- A practical 6‑step checklist to evaluate any tool
The session sparked curiosity and lively discussion, leaving attendees clear on how to select assessments that are purposeful, practical, and aligned with their goals.
Key takeaway: Popularity doesn’t guarantee quality. The best tool is the one that fits your context and objectives.
