Improve Emotional Intelligence Effectiveness
Tools That Make People Development
Practical and Sustainable
Core Factors is a people-development platform for practitioners who administer assessments and deliver development experiences to participants. It is built for development over diagnosis, pairing results with reporting and a participant experience that supports reflection and real-world application.
Assessments Designed for Development Work
Core Factors assessments are designed for development work, with results meant to be used as a starting point, not a final definition. Across emotional intelligence, interaction patterns, personality, and work and fit, Core Factors gives you a consistent way to help participants understand how patterns show up in real situations. The emphasis is on clarity, context, and ethical interpretation, so results support growth over time rather than becoming a box people feel stuck in.
MASTERING EMOTIONS
The Only EQ Assessment That Shows You Which Skills to Work on First
Most EQ assessments tell you where you stand. The EQ Accelerator tells you where to focus. By rating all 40 EQ skills on both Importance and Effectiveness, the assessment surfaces the gap between what matters most to your success and how well you are currently demonstrating it, then uses a weighted algorithm to identify the one skill per dimension worth developing right now. If your clients are using the EQ-i 2.0 or a similar profile-based tool, they are getting a snapshot. With the EQ Accelerator, they get a development roadmap.
ELEVATE TEAMWORK
The Social Style Assessment Built Around Why People Interact, Not Just How They Behave
Most social style tools identify a pattern and stop there. Social Dynamics identifies four observable interaction styles, Mover, Mapper, Involver, and Integrator, and defines each one by five components: the core drive behind the behavior, the outcome the person is trying to achieve, their preferred decision-making approach, their cluster of strengths, and their typical behavioral patterns. The 28-page Style Navigator Report then goes further with a Things in Common layer that shows how styles connect and where they create friction across the four patterns. When participants understand not just their style but the intention behind it, the conversation moves from self-awareness to something they can apply in the next meeting.
NAVIGATE WORK AND FIT
Career Assessments That Go Beyond Interest to Clarity
Most career assessments tell you what you are interested in. They deliver a three-letter code, a list of matching occupations, and leave the hard work of filtering to you and your client. Career Path independently scores both Preference and Avoidance across 11 Occupational Activity Groupings, so practitioners and clients can see not just where the energy is but where the friction will come from before a decision is made.
Many practitioners piece together career values work and motivational skills exploration using separate tools, card sorts, or conversation frameworks. Career Signals brings both into a single online assessment that produces a 12-page Work Motivation Profile covering what a client values most in their work and which skills energize versus drain them, scored and delivered through the Participant Hub without physical materials or facilitation overhead.
UNLOCK SELF-KNOWLEDGE
Harnessing Jungian Psychological Type for Personal and Professional Growth
Type Discovery identifies the same 16 Jungian psychological types you already work with, using a non-forced-choice format with a built-in Type Precision Module for greater accuracy. Where the MBTI stops at a PDF report, Type Discovery delivers a complete participant experience and a practitioner platform built for development work. Your clients revisit their results, reflect, and continue the process long after the session ends.
Your client knows their four-letter code. But no other instrument reveals why two people with the same type show up so differently. Type Elements measures 32 subscales scored independently so patterns that other instruments average out become visible. When a subscale does not match the reported type, that is not an error. That is where life experience has shaped type expression.
Type Dynamics is the only instrument that puts the eight cognitive processes directly into the participant experience, so you can deliver type the way it was meant to be understood. The 13-page report does the teaching for you, making the cognitive process framework accessible and personal before participants ever see their results.
Complement any type assessment with YOU Type Effectiveness Reports, 22-page development reports built around each of the 16 types, grounded in Center for Creative Leadership research and available directly from your Pro Account.
