This tool is an online assessment that measures four areas of an individual: cognitive abilities, thinking style, behaviours, and interests. It helps organizations to evaluate, coach, select, onboard, and develop their most valuable resources, their employees. Used as one of the assessment methodologies during a hiring process, it provides a rich compilation of data to inform the decision-making process and ensure that the organization is putting the right people in the right position.
There are a total of 13 different reports available that provide actionable data about employees and teams. Once the online questionnaire is completed, the respondent is entitled to a coaching session with a Certified PXT Select™ Coaching Professional.

We are mainly using the Everything DiSC® tool to improve workplace effectiveness with the help of 4 specific reports:
The CheckPoint Feedback System is a 360-degree survey. It is used primarily to evaluate the effectiveness of your managers and leaders. This survey combines feedback from direct reports, peers, supervisors, and even customers, with a personalized program for developing specific leadership skills based on that feedback. The CheckPoint 360™ helps managers identify and prioritize their own development opportunities and helps the organization to better focus management training. This process highlights a manager’s job performance in eight Universal Management Competencies:
This tool measure individuals’ emotional intelligence using decades of research with the objective of supporting effective human performance and development. The EQ-I 2.0 is an online self-rating assessment tool. Emotional intelligence is a set of emotional and social skills that, together, determine how we perceive and express ourselves, develop and maintain social relationships, cope with challenges, and use emotional information in an effective and meaningful way. Those skills are critical for building relationships, resolving conflict, solving problems, and building resilience. The model provides information about five specific scales: self-perception, self-expression, interpersonal, decision-making and stress management. Each of those scales are subdivided in 15 sub-scales, providing more specific information about the strength and the potential areas for development of the participant.
A 360 option is available.
The MBTI is a tool aimed at helping people understand their own communication preference and how they are interacting with others. Knowing and understanding our own preferred MBTI style can help adapt our interpersonal approach to different situations and audiences. In addition, this tool can help us understanding and appreciating differences. It provides a framework for people to develop their self-awareness regarding their motivations, strengths, and potential areas of improvement. It will also help them appreciate other people’s motivations and strengths. That understanding and appreciation about how people prefer to function can improve how they are working and relating to each other.
The MBTI can be used for leadership development, team development, and career development.
The FIRO® instrument help people better understand their interpersonal needs and how those needs impact their communication style and behaviour. The assessment is based on social needs theory regarding the equilibrium between people’s basic needs and their fulfilment. The FIRO looks at three (3) specific social needs: Inclusion, Control and Affection and how compared to expressed or wanted behaviours. A FIRO Business version is available that addresses the specific requirements of organizations. This tool helps develop professionals by using three (3) business-focused areas: Involvement, Influence, and Connection.
This tool helped people, teams, and organizations implement positive behavioural changes. The FIRO-B can be used for team building, leadership development, relationship building, professional development and conflict management.
The TKI provides insight, empowerment and resolution to people involved in conflicts. It identifies alternative conflict styles and provide people with the ability to reframe and diffuse conflict. Ultimately, the model identifies five different conflict styles, called conflict modes, and provides individuals with conflict management solutions. The conflict modes (competing, collaborating, compromising, avoiding, and accommodating) are described along two dimensions: assertiveness (how we try to satisfy our own concerns) and cooperativeness (extent to which we try to satisfy the concerns of others).
