review 1: Li a versão em português "Destaque-se". Para quem leu e gostou de "Descubra seus Pontos Fortes" de Buckingham e Clifton, também editado pela Sextante, é um desdobramento do trabalho anterior, agora desenvolvido fora do Gallup Institute. Ótima leitura e oportunidade para muitas percepções individuais, após a realização do teste de perfis. Passei a utilizar como ferramenta de diagnóstico no meu processo de Coaching Centrado em Valores. Recomendo
review 2: I was required to take this assessment for my job. I've taken other similar personality type tests, and usually found a lot that I could relate to. However, when I took this test, I found it so incredibly far from my personality. The areas that it told me I excel in are areas that I struggle with, dre... moread, and receive negative feedback on. I emailed the company to tell them I didn't think it was accurate. They did not make any efforts to find out why I thought that my assessment was incorrect (which might've helped to improve their techniques). The response was simply that they were right, and they had data to "prove" it. They recommended that I ask other people whether they agreed with the assessment. So I read the sections to multiple coworkers (some who am I very close with, and some who are only acquaintance level), to my significant other, and to a good friend. All of them, without prompting, said that they did not think that applied to me. None of the people who know me in real life saw me the way that Marcus Buckingham company said was the way "other people see me." Finally, the customer service responder suggested that if I wanted to take the assessment again, I could do so, IF I gave them another $15 dollars. Needless to say, I won't be doing that.At the end of the day, this is just yet another money making enterprise masked as a corporate helper. less
