SDI: Psychometric Exercises
Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI): Psychometric exercises
Psychometric exercises work as a self discovery tool to improve relationships within teams and organisations. The Strength Deployment Inventory® (SDI®), by highlighting strengths across the team, can have an immediate and long lasting impact on improving the quality of these relationships.
A Strength Deployment Inventory® can show clearly why certain people have the impact on us they do and how we may be impacting on them. Participants also learn how to recognise issues in relationships and how to communicate in more flexible and effective ways. By relating to people in a way that respects their motivations, you increase the chance that any potential conflict will be prevented. However, with early recognition interpersonal conflict, when managed correctly, can contribute to creative solutions and stronger relationships.
"You
delivered an excellent session, much enjoyed and appreciated by us all,
and with a great deal of learning. The team are still talking about the
event, which actually exceeded our expectations. Everyone was really pleased
with the way that you facilitated the day and have been very complimentary
about the way that you managed to keep us engaged and your experience
of Belbin. Thanks!"
Psychometric exercises overview:
The Strength Deployment Inventory® is a questionnaire-based psychometric exercise that presents participants with a series of statements and asks them to allocate points depending on how they feel about the statement. At the end of the series of statements, a personal score enables participants to plot their results on a chart. Results include motivational values as well as preferences for dealing with conflict.
The results for the whole team can be combined to show the range of strengths and values across the group. There are no "right" or "wrong" answers - the exercise should be seen as an opportunity to take stock of motivational values as a basis for how an individual feels and acts in different situations.
After participants have completed their inventories, a facilitated discussion examines how to use these strengths effectively to improve working or personal relationships with others.
