Birkman Method® Assessments

Measure and Maximize Human Potential

The Birkman Method® assesses human potential, maximizes human capital and transforms corporate culture.  The Birkman creates a four-dimensional portrait of individuals and team members within organizations by outlining their interests and goals, operating styles, motivational needs and behavior under stress, all of which are factors that impact personal and company-wide productivity.

Leverage Self Awareness for Greater Effectiveness

The Birkman Method® is an on-line self-report questionnaire administered over the internet.  It elicits responses about perception of self, perception of social context (others), and perception of career opportunities. It is the perfect complement to performance coaching, succession planning and the organizational alignment of human resources.  Over 2 million people in over 5,000 organizations have contributed to the depth and strength of the assessment. The Birkman focuses on five major 
perspectives:

  • Usual Behavior – an individual’s effective behavioral style of dealing with relationships and tasks.

  • Underlying Needs – an individual’s expectations of how relationships and social situations should be governed in context of the relationship or situation. 

  • Stress Behaviors – an individual’s ineffective style of dealing with relationships or tasks; behavior observed when underlying needs are not met. 

  • Interests – an individual’s expressed preference for job titles based on the assumption of equal economic rewards. 

  • Organizational Focus - the perspective in which an individual views problems and solutions relating to organizational goals.

Focus Your Performance

Only Birkman combines behavioral, motivational and interest measurements in a single assessment. It features one system with one language to perform all levels of your human development work, replacing the need to use multiple tools.

It is the most powerful singular assessment a leader must have.
