This collection of self-assessment exercises was created to provide every manager and supervisor with professional-development materials designed for high performance.

Strategic Leadership Type Indicator (SLTI)
The Strategic Leadership Type Indicator (SLTi) is fast becoming the new standard for a 4-quadrant type supervisory leadership assessment. Trainers appreciate its simplicity combined with ample support materials but without burdensome certification requirements. Supervisors and managers like the emphasis on teaching the appropriate use of four different management styles, particularly the coaching style widely considered the most flexible and motivating supervision technique in wide use today.

Test of Supervisory Skills (TOSS)
The Test of Supervisory Skills (TOSS), formerly Elements of Supervision, is a 70-item, multiple-choice, untimed test that taps the knowledge required for successful supervision. Based on careful, repeated factor analysis of supervisory behavior, TOSS provides norms that allows a comparison of scores with a large (1,000+) number of supervisory and non-supervisory profile. The new version of this well-established screening instrument includes separate test booklets and self-scoring answer sheets and a revised, enhanced technical and administrative manual. TOSS is a valid instrument for evaluating both applicants for supervisory positions and those being considered for promotion to such positions.

Management and Organization Skills Test (MOST)
The Management and Organization Skills Test (MOST) provides a measure of an individual’s knowledge and understanding of how relatively complex organizations function as well as knowledge of the competencies and skills required for success in management and executive positions.

Possession of this knowledge and understanding has clear implications for job performance in management and executive positions.

Trainers Assessment of Proficiency (TAP)

The TAP assessment uses professional expertise and established standards for classroom performance to provide trainers a new and different benchmark to guide their professional growth.

The Psychological Type Indicator (PTI)
The Psychological Type Indicator (PTI) is a carefully crafted personality measure that is designed to give individuals guidance about their psychological (Jungian) type using the sixteen types (INTJ, ENTP, etc.) first presented by Carl Jung. The focus of the PTI is on providing individuals themselves, their managers and those who train them, with an understanding of personality and its effect on performance both inside and beyond the workplace.

DISC Styles Assessment
The HRD Press DISC Styles Assessment has been crafted specifically to assist organizations in understanding how behaviors impact the success of their employees and how it all links to the bottom line. Based on theories originally developed by Dr. William Marston in the late 1920s, and adapted for effortless facilitation and corporate buy-in, our DISCStyles Assessment is a highly validated tool trusted by several Fortune 500 companies, the United States Military, and professional consultants worldwide.
This easily administered 30-item assessment includes the use of three interpersonal settings to maximize contextual authenticity (work, home, social). Each of the three standard interpretive graphs is plotted to enable a complete view of your preferred style, and since the DISCStyles Assessment can be completed in only 10-15 minutes, you gain valuable time for individual coaching sessions or group discussions.
