OutMatch Assess Business Personality Assessment
OutMatch Assess is a web-based talent assessment platform that provides in-depth analysis for selection and development of managers and professionals. Developed by organizational psychologists and written in business language, OutMatch Assess incorporates personality and intellectual ability assessments, behavioral feedback, and performance measurement to evaluate people against a model of success.
By using the competency-linked components of the OutMatch Assess system, your organization can target hiring efforts, guide talent development for the highest gain, and hold employees accountable for performance improvement.
The key features of OutMatch Assess can be used over an employee’s entire tenure.
• OutMatch Assess Selection reports allow the hiring manager to examine a candidate’s thinking, working, and relating styles. These characteristics are viewed in the context of core competencies for the position (for example, influencing and persuading, driving for results, and planning and organizing)
• OutMatch Assess Development reports help new or existing employees improve their effectiveness by providing a constructive framework to understand their potential strengths and hindering behaviors.
The product of an industrial psychology think tank, OutMatch Assess Development reports cover the how-to’s of correcting problem behaviors, complete with suggestions for articles, books, and courses.
• OutMatch Assess Team Charts provide an objective and well-organized framework for teams to identify how to leverage their collective strengths as well as reduce tensions and problematic behaviors.
The OutMatch Assess system allows employers the choice of incorporating seven intellectual abilities into the selection report: abstract reasoning, mental alertness, critical thinking, verbal comprehension, verbal reasoning, numerical ability, and arithmetic reasoning.

Proception2 - Business Motivators
Business Motivators is an online system that helps individuals understand the underlying reasons for their actions and reactions. This report examines six primary motivators: conceptual, aesthetic, economic, power and authority, social/greater good, and doctrine. The intensity of each motivator is determined by the employee’s current personal and professional priorities.
In and of themselves, motivational scores are judgment-free. There are no right or wrong answers. It is critically important, however, that professionals be aware of their motivational biases and to manage the positive and negative behaviors that can stem from their unique motivational forces. This is especially true when these behaviors are directed at someone who holds a contrasting orientation. Business Motivators Team Charts help working groups understand the similarities and differences in their motivators so that team members can best adapt and align interactions with one another.

Proception2 - DISC Behavior Style
This DISC-based profiling system provides insight into behavior styles. DISC measures behavior along four dimensions: Dominance—how individuals prefer to solve problems and challenges; Influence—how they influence others to their point of view; Steadiness—how they adapt to pace and change; and Compliance—how they respond to rules and procedures.
The DISC reports help individuals understand how they are naturally inclined to behave along these dimensions and how adapt their natural behavioral style to meet the requirements of their positions.
Proception2 DISC reports also highlight an individual’s potential strengths in business, strengths to the team, and preferred work environment, along with offering personal growth suggestions, performance enhancement strategies, and communication builders and barriers. DISC Team Charts help working groups understand each other’s behavior styles so that team members are able to interact in ways that build on their strengths and to depersonalize the stress caused by clashes in style.
