Brief summaries of the above assessments:
The Values Arrangement List for Organizations (VALOR) is the only comprehensive online survey to accurately assess Operational and Mission values. The Individual and Composite VALOR reports are two essential resources designed to help you understand and apply organizational values.
VALOR is a one-of-a kind instrument that will enable you to develop a shared organizational values profile, specifying which Mission and Operational values are most important to your company. Explore your strategy, make better decisions, reduce intergroup conflict, and explore the formal, informal and technical maze within your organization's culture.
VALOR relies on a rich philosophical, historical and academic tradition for understanding organizational values and employs modern statistical scoring design methods. VALOR's Individual Feedback and Composite Reports are easy to read and interpret. The Individual Feedback Report provides an excellent point of entry into the nature of organizational values by revealing how individual respondents see values in daily and long term use. The Composite Report is used to define the shared value system of the organization. Assess every member of the organization or representative samples of internal and external stakeholder groups.

The Values Arrangement List (VAL) is the only comprehensive online survey to accurately measure personal values. The VAL report is a crucial first step in understanding your personal values.
The VAL survey will help you understand how your values can be used to improve the quality of your decisions, build healthy relationships and direct effective career and life plans. Other values assessments simply ask you to rank order your values. This does not take into account the true complexity of values. The Values Arrangement List overcomes this limitation by using advanced statistical methods and design as well as by generating an in-depth, easy to understand report.

Golden Personality Type Profiler
Dr. John P. Golden
The Golden Personality Type Profiler can help a person understand the basis for their decision-making and the way they relate to other people. Other assessments categorize a person into a single type. These over-simplified labels make no allowance for the subtle differences between people of the same type.
Critics have long contended that typeoriented approaches to personality are too simplistic and often inaccurate. This tool overcomes those limitations with a report that measures 36 additional Facet Scales. Not only can you see Jungian 4-letter personality type, but also the subtle facets, which make up that personality type.
The Golden Personality Type Profiler is different from other personality assessment instruments.
Using Jung's Type Theory as a foundation, the Golden Personality Type Profiler unites Psychological Type, Temperament, Trait, and the empirically supported factor models of personality and generates one comprehensive survey and feedback report.
This online profile asks individuals to respond to 125 behavior oriented questions, such as how one reacts to various situations. The online survey is very user-friendly and can be completed in about 20 - 30 minutes.

We can also administer a more simplistic "student" version of this assessment if you are interested in it - please inquire about the Student Profiler when contacting us.

Work Behavior Inventory (WBI) is a highly valid and reliable instrument. The WBI Career Development Report includes both a profile report and narrative report, detailing potential assets and potential cautions to assist you in career assessment and development. It helps to focus an individual's leadership styles and can be used as a guide in career development.
A debriefing session can reveal:
- Work Styles--what they are, why they’re important, how they relate to personality,
- Emotional Intelligence (EI)--what it is and what your results indicate about your EI
- Leadership Styles--what your preferred style is and areas of strength and blind spots
- Selling and Influencing Styles--what your preferred style is and areas of strength and blind spots

InsightMirror 360º Leadership Assessment: is based on eight leadership skill areas based on the written material and research of three of the most respected management experts:
- Marcus Buckingham,
- Peter Drucker (1910 - 2005),
- Warren Bennis.
Exceptional Managers Know:
• It is within people’s strengths where opportunities for exceptional performance lie.
• Managers need to help fellow workers manage their weaknesses, because if they don’t learn to manage those weeds they cannot keep the garden beautiful.
• Decentralization as a principle of organization shortens the corporate ladder allowing people “closest to the action” to play a major part in the organization’s decision-making process.
The Eight INSIGHTMirror 360º Leadership Abilities
(1) Communication Skills,
(2) Decision Making,
(3) Promotes Innovation And Change,
(4) Working Relationships,
(5) Leadership Skills,
(6) Coaching Skills,
(7) Utilizing One’s Strengths,
(8) Team Development.
Within each of these leadership skill areas are at least two specific sub-skill areas. Skill Areas relating to the 64-question leadership instrument give leaders a full array of their strengths and weaknesses based on these eight powerful attributes demonstrated by outstanding leaders. In addition, there are 11 different areas where raters can write in comments regarding the participant, enriching the results of numerical feedback.
The INSIGHTMirror 360 report provides you survey results in these areas:
- Scores from the 64 questions
- Your strength areas
- Areas needing improvement if applicable
- Your blind spots
- Summary scores
- Norm Scores: for each question there is a statistically based “norm score” so Ratees can compare their score for a particular question with our statistically sound control group of INSIGHTMirror Ratees.
- Abilities to customise questions agreed upon with BlueRio Strategies Coach

AAI 360º Assessment:
360º Assessment is a process of assessing the competence of employees from the perspectives of individuals all around the individual. This includes the employees’ own perception of his/her competencies, but also the perspectives of the boss, peers within the organization, subordinates, and, if appropriate, customers and other work colleagues.
This information is consolidated by computer analysis and is reported in a way that maintains the confidentiality of information. Feedback reports give individuals a comprehensive view of their performance and a clear guide for focused development.
The AAI 360º Assessment has several key applications, which include:
- Leadership Development—to diagnose employee strengths and development opportunities for developing superior talent.
- Organizational Capability Analysis—to identify the competency strengths and weaknesses of organizational units.
- Organizational Effectiveness—by defining and measuring competencies, organizations focus employees on those behaviors that underlie success.
- Talent Management & Succession Planning—to address the organization’s management continuity needs.
- Competency-based—It is based on competencies essential for effective job performance, reflecting your organization’s values and focusing on those things that drive business results.
- Extensive behavioral definition—Over 300 behaviors are defined as a part of the competency model, representing both highly effective and less effective behaviors. Raters have a clear understanding of what each competency is.
- Write-in comments—Participants have the opportunity to provide write-in comments for each competency providing rich detail on specific issues regarding strengths and development opportunities
- Research-based system—The system is supported by extensive research and validation.
