CliftonStrengths* 
All too often, our natural talents go untapped as we spend our valuable time and energy trying to fix our shortcomings, as opposed to developing our strengths. If you feel this way, then let the CliftonStrengths assessment help identify the areas where you or your team have the greatest potential for building strength. The assessment report will detail your top five strengths and provide you with Strength Insights to help you understand how each of your top five themes play out in your life.
DiSC*
DiSCover how well you understand and adapt to other people's behaviors through knowing their DiSC (Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness) style. DiSC profiles help you and your team handle conflict, improve relationships through communication, and understand the perspectives of others.
Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT) 
Emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to incorporate emotions into your decision-making process for optimal outcomes. Kent State uses the MSCEIT model to measure your EI ability across the four key areas of Identifying, Using, Understanding and Managing emotions. You will receive detailed test results along with areas of strengths and potential opportunities for developing your emotional intelligence.
Team Dimensions 3.0* 
Ever wondered how some teams work together better than others? High-functioning teams understand each member's contributions and roles. Team Dimensions 3.0 examines how the four stages of team development and five different team roles can predict the success of your team.
Thomas Kilmann Conflict Instrument (TKI)* 
Conflict is a natural part of our interactions with others. Conflict management is an extremely important skill to master. TKI measures a person's behavior along two dimensions: assertiveness, the extent to which you attempt to satisfy your concerns, and cooperativeness, the extent to which you attempt to satisfy the other person's concerns. TKI lets you discover your preferred style and learn to recognize and effectively use the five different conflict styles.
