One assessment.
A career of answers.
Kolbe results hold. A significant change on a retake happens less than 12% of the time, and Kolbe reports over 90% test-retest reliability. Your people take it once, and you use it for years.*
Kolbe is the blueprint to how individuals and teams operate.
Most workplace assessments describe personality. Kolbe measures something different: how each person naturally takes action and makes decisions when they are working at their best. It explains why two people with similar personalities can approach the same project in completely different ways.
Kolbe measures four Action Modes®, the ways people take action:
- Fact Findergathering information
- Follow Thruorganizing
- Quick Starthandling risk and the unknown
- Implementorworking with the physical and tangible

Build on Kolbe.
Craft with CliftonStrengths.
What you get is a complete picture of how someone is going to take action and make decisions across four Action Modes, then how they will think, feel and behave within that framework. You can then use that information one‑on‑one, with teams, and across the organization.
The blueprint holds for a career. The craftsmanship grows as people invest in what they do best.
CliftonStrengths shows what each person naturally does best: their top talents among 34 themes, grouped into four domains:
- Executingmaking things happen
- Influencinginfluencing others
- Relationship Buildingbuilding strong relationships
- Strategic Thinkingabsorbing and analyzing information
Focusing on strengths
strengthens the organization.
Gallup studied nearly 50,000 business units in 45 countries. Workgroups that received strengths-based development saw gains like these:***
Our Suite of Tools
Each organization can use our suite of tools to gain deep insight into the innate strengths of individuals, teams and even prospective employees.
Based on your unique set of issues, we craft an engagement with the right blend of tools to get fast results. We start with the Kolbe suite of tools and then add others, like CliftonStrengths (formerly StrengthsFinder), to further enhance results. Each assessment measures specific traits, so we help you find the right tools for the results you are looking for.
Individual Assessments
It all begins with understanding individuals at their most innate level. Our proven, EEO-validated assessments take 15 to 20 minutes to complete and give each person a 20+ page customized report with:
- Their four unique strengths
- How they innately take action and make decisions when left to their own devices
- How they like to communicate
- Coaching tips on how to use their strengths effectively
Team Design
Teams are usually formed with functional expertise in mind. What if you could design teams for maximum synergy and efficiency too, and see the impact of adding or removing members before you do it?
We combine individual assessment results into a profile for the team that shows its synergy and effectiveness. We can also use the results to see how a new team will work before it is formalized.
Recruiting & Hiring
Have you ever hired a great candidate with a fantastic resume and great interviews, only to find that they did not fit the organization? Our recruiting and hiring process and tools can improve your hiring odds by 86%.**
As one of the few EEO-validated assessments that can be used in hiring, we help create the right conative profile for a position and use our assessments with candidates to find the right person for the role.
CliftonStrengths is a development tool. We use it once someone is on the team, never to choose between candidates.
