Talent Management-Getting the Right People on the Bus

Nov. 23, 2010 - PRLog -- The keys to utilizing talent to its full potential lie in understanding it and effective methods to measure it. Unique to the Attribute Index is its ability to assess an individual’s cognitive structure (i.e. how their mind perceives themselves and the world around them).  Unlike any other instrument, the Attribute Index has a direct relationship with mathematics and is the basis for its ability to accurately measure the core dimensions of how we think.  The results generated from the individuals’ responses to the Attribute Index accurately describe their potential for workplace performance.

Unlike many other instruments intended for a clinical setting but adapted to a business one, the Attribute Index was designed, from the beginning, exclusively for use in a business environment.  When combined with an assessment of Behavioral Traits and Values, the Attribute Index presents a complete picture of individual talent.  

The following is a review of the specific components that are measured and the capacities for each component:
