Profiling – i3 and Mental Toughness

i3 Profile – What is it?

“Without knowing what I am and why I am here, life is impossible”   Leo Tolstoy

The i3 Psychometric profile is all about gaining a better understanding of why an individual behaves in the way they do. It is a psychometric assessment based on preference, rather than competence, which offers an understanding as to why individuals behave as they do. i3 focuses on an individual’s uniqueness rather than compartmentalising them.

This assessment can be completed online in just 15-20 minutes but its effects will last a lifetime. Taking into account 7 Individual Instinctive Indicators, the assessment will reveal a totally unique combination for each person as well as provide insight into which environments they are at their most productive (Productive Environment).

We have great success using this tool as it does not box or point the finger at individuals, it is also available as a team profile and a recruitment profile that ensures you are finding the right candidate for the job role.

Feedback can be given one to one and then shared with a team to allow greater understanding of one another. It helps you to get to know what makes your fellow team member or team leader “tick”. This also allows the opportunity to see whether there are vital elements of a team missing but also allows for a greater understanding of the importance of diversity in a team.

How it works

i3 is completed online, an individual report is produced and you then receive a personal debrief from a member of the Sampson Hall team. The profile can be used to develop individuals through self awareness and through direct and informed interventions.

Progress and effect of the interventions can also be measured. They can be used to identify strengths and weaknesses within a team and the likely changes that may occur in different circumstances or as a result of new members joining. They can also be used to measure team development. You may like to look at our Team Development packages.

How it helps

Individuals better understand themselves and how they play into a team and teams function better through improved trust, better communication, motivation and task orientation,  hence they become far more results driven.

Why you need it

Better understanding is key to optimising individual and group performance. Knowing how people function and what they prefer allows leaders to talent manage their people to greater success. Individuals who understand who they are able to optimise their strengths and compensate for their weaknesses, after all it is a strong person who knows their weaknesses!

Mental Toughness, Hardiness and Resilience

What is it?

It is a psychometric test, based on Sir Clive Woodward’s successful DNA of a Champion Model, which helps to determine an individual’s mental toughness and how effectively they perform when exposed to stressors, pressure and challenge, irrespective of the prevailing situation.

How it works

Individuals complete an online test answering 48 questions, it takes about 10 minutes and the participant receives three reports.

  1. An assessor report – designed to support recruitment or selection by giving a more complete picture of an individual.
  2. A development report – designed to allow the individual to focus on areas of their own development to improve their hardiness and resilience.
  3. A coaching report – gives information about an individual’s mental toughness, this can be shared with a coach to work together on areas of development.

Who is it for?

The test is for individuals and teams who want to understand how hardy and resilient they are. It can be used to develop initially benchmark these traits or to develop for the future.

How it helps

It is particularly valuable in assessing whether a current individual or team has the necessary hardiness and resilience, identifying areas for improvement but also identifying that team members’ mental toughness balance is correct across a team.

The final area is recruiting future talent, the test can be used as part of the interview or assessment process.

We strongly recommend that one of our consultants debriefs anyone taking the test.
