This site offers a number of assessments
to guide career planning and especially to
help improve one's current job situation.
Assessments include Improve Your Boss, Improve
Your Company, The PSI Personality Style Indicator,
The JSI Job Style Indicator, and Improve Your JobFit.
The site describes one of our favorites, the PSI, this
way: "Understanding our own personal styles and traits
(and ideally those of the people we work closely with
and for), we have an opportunity to be more successful,
higher performing and more satisfied with our jobs and
work environment. Taking the Personal Style Indicator
assessment and asking all those with whom you work closely
to take it, as well, will give you a leg up on improving
your working communications and relationships and,
therefore (and quite naturally), both your individual
and group performance."
Some of the site's assessments are free; others offer a free
summary report with a fee for a more detailed report; still
others are fee-based. The JSI and PSI can be taken together.
