ASSESS YOUR GREATNESS: THE SUCCESS FACTORS SCALES® - CORPORATE EDITION How do you assess greatness in an individual? The research literature often states that individuals who can be identified as “great” possess specific character traits. Some of those success traits include self-confidence and motivation. But there are many more unique traits that have been scientifically proven to allow you to discover your level of strength in these success traits. What is it? The Success Factors Scales® - Corporate Edition is a scientific, one-of-a-kind on-line assessment instrument developed specifically to measure the level of strength in 13 critically important success traits in individuals. The Success Factors Scales® - Corporate Edition will assist individuals and businesses in two distinct ways: 1. Personnel directors can utilize the instrument as a pre-employment tool to discover the level of strength of the job candidate in these 13 success traits, and 2. Human resource managers can utilize the instrument as a personal development tool for current employees. Why do I need it? Many factors are responsible for the success of any organization. But only one factor can be termed “critical”: the employees. With statistical evidence that a bad hire can cost a company tens of thousands of dollars, who you have working for you DOES make the difference. Pre-employment profiling allows managers to more closely screen applicants, curtail high employee turnover caused by costly shoot-from-the-hip hiring practices, and help streamline the interview process by providing vital information that the interviewer can utilize during conversation with the applicant. The Success Factors Scales® - Corporate Edition is one of the most unique and beneficial pre-employment/personal development assessment resources because it gives employers solid, scientific evidence of the level of strength in 13 traits that the research literature documents that successful people possess in any job environment. The test is not infallible. But employers can gather a clear picture of the strengths of their candidates through the results of this no-nonsense, straight-forward assessment instrument. And individuals will receive important baseline data which may lead them to their next level of achievement. What can I learn from the Success Factors Scales® - Corporate Edition?
