TriMetrix® DNA
TriMetrix® DNA is another of our triple-science assessments! Combining three cutting edge assessments to explore behavioural style, personal motivators, and competencies, TriMetrix® DNA is a powerful addition for any trainer, coach, or consultant’s toolkit!
TriMetrix® DNA: A Triple Science Assessment
As a triple-science assessment, TriMetrix® DNA provides us with three perspectives to understand the people we work with: it explores their behavioural style (HOW they prefer to behave and communicate), their personal motivators (WHY they move into action), and their competencies (WHICH competencies they have mastered).
When using a traditional single-dimensional assessment, we can miss (or have to assume) so much about what makes people who they are. With a multi-science assessment, such as TriMetrix® DNA, we have more places to look for answers and a more complete framework to help people understand themselves and others.
The Multi-Science Advantage
When using the DISC assessment, the “high C” style is often characterised as behaving in a structured and organised fashion. Because of this, many consultants falsely assume that someone with a “low C” will be unable to cope with work that requires attention to detail, planning and analysis. While sometimes this assumption is true, other times it is completely false. The question is: why?
When we have access to all three pieces of information provided by the TriMetrix® DNA, we can reveal what is missing. Even though the person has a “low C”, we then learn, by looking at the person’s Motivators profile, that there is a very strong drive for practicality (Utilitarian) present. In addition to this finding, we learn, by looking at the person’s DNA profile, that there is a well developed competency for “Planning & Organising”. An individual with this overall combination is someone who has mastered the ability to carry out detailed work very effectively (Planning / Organising), however, instead of seeking to gather large amounts of data (high C), they will prefer only essential information (low C), which is reinforced by the drive to get things done as practically and efficiently as possible (Utilitarian). This integrated view reveals a more complete picture of an individual’s strengths and weaknesses — one that other consultants frequently don’t get to see and thus risk giving their clients substandard advice.
What Does TriMetrix® DNA Measure?
TriMetrix® DNA: Measuring behaviours, motivators, and competencies!
The TriMetrix® DNA is a powerful assessment combining three sciences, helping you to explore three key areas of performance:
HOW we behave and communicate — using the world famous DISC assessment.
WHY we move into action — using the simple yet powerful Motivators assessment.
WHICH competencies we have mastered and to what degree — using the TTI DNA assessment.
This powerful combination is available in a number of versions (explained below) and covers 4 sections: Behaviours, Motivators, Competencies, as well as an integrated section combining Behavioural and Motivational feedback. This layered approach provides a fantastic framework for people to build awareness and appreciation of their potential strengths, opportunities for growth, and to craft specific action plans for professional development.
The Behaviours Section (DISC)
The TTI Success Insights® DISC profile is available in a number of different versions specifically designed for different applications. The suite includes reports designed for use in recruitment and selection, as well as more comprehensive coaching and development reports. DISC assessments provide feedback on all four factors to truly capture how we are unique at a behavioural level and avoid pigeonholing people. The 4 core DISC behaviours measured are:
Dominance – How we respond to problems & challenges.
Influence – How we respond to people & contact.
Steadiness – How we respond to pace & consistency.
Compliance – How we respond to procedures & constraints.
The Motivators Section (MOT)
The 12 Driving Forces™ - Motivators profile is a 14-page report. It takes you a step beyond the standard behavioural assessment to dive deeper into the world of personal values. The 6 core Motivators measured are:
Theoretical – A drive for knowledge and learning.
Utilitarian – A drive for a return on all investments.
Aesthetic – A drive for beauty and creative expression.
Social – A drive for compassion and helping others.
Individualistic – A drive for uniqueness, status and to lead.
Traditional – A drive for unity, order and a system for living.
Note: The 12 Driving Forces™ - Motivators also includes feedback on what a person should try to avoid based on his or her motivators. TTI’s brain-based research confirms that this has a deep subconscious impact on our decision making.
The Competencies Section (TTI DNA)
The competencies section of the TriMetrix® DNA examines a person’s level of development in 23 business-related competencies. The report ranks the individual’s “Competencies Hierarchy” from the most developed competency to the least developed competency. The 23 competencies measured are as follows:
Analytical Problem.
Conflict Management.
Continuous Learning.
Creativity./.Innovation.
Customer Service.
Decision.
Diplomacy.
Empathy.
Employee Development.
Flexibility.
Futuristic Thinking.
Goal Orientation.
Leadership.
Decision Making.
Management.
Negotiation.
Personal Effectiveness.
Persuasion.
Planning / Organising.
Presenting.
Self-Management.
Teamwork.
Written Communication.
The Blended Section
This integrated section explores the influence of one dimension of performance on another — in this case, one’s DISC behavioural style and personal motivators. Included in the TriMetrix® DNA Coaching Report is a section that explores how an individual’s motivators might impact their DISC behavioural style and vice versa. This is something that is not available from any other assessment provider.
Versions of the TriMetrix® DNA Profile
The TriMetrix® DNA series is made up of a collection of reports designed to support your initiatives and help achieve the outcomes you are looking for. All of our tools have been designed with flexibility, practicality and multiple uses in mind. This means you can invest once in the right profile and use it throughout the employee life cycle to maximise your investment. As a multi-science report, TriMetrix® DNA explores Behavioural Style, Personal Motivators and Competencies. There are four sets of reports in this series, including:
TriMetrix® DNA - Job Profiles – Providing a validated way to profile the unique positions in any business and determine the “ideal” mix of behaviours, motivators and competencies for a superior performer. We refer to this as “Position Benchmarking”.
TriMetrix® DNA - Selection Profiles – A shortened version of the full report designed to provide hiring managers with what they need to understand a candidate’s behaviour, motivations and competencies mix.
TriMetrix® DNA - Comparison and Gap Reports – A set of reports to visually display personal reports against a benchmark (for example, in the selection process to see how closely someone matches a benchmark).
TriMetrix® DNA - Coaching and Development Reports – A set of reports that comprehensively explores an individual’s behavioural style, motivators and competencies. These reports are available in General, Sales and Executive versions.
