THREE KEY PLAYERS TO THE ENTIRE PROCESS
Administrator
An Administrator is a person who distributes the Assessments through Assessment Invitations. This could be either a trainer who uses the Assessments in seminars or a consultant, coach or manager who might use the Assessments on an assignment with a team, a family unit, a Board of Directors, etc. Member
This is an individual whom the Administrator has authorized to take an Assessment through their Assessment invitation. Observer
An observer is someone who the member invites to complete the True Colors card sort on the member.
This is a key feature that enables members to acquire a unique 360-degree view of themselves by inviting an unlimited number of observers, within a 30-day period, to complete a card sort on them. Members simply type in the observer's name and email address and that's it. The rest is totally automated. The observers are sent an email from the member inviting them to complete the assessment on the member's behalf. (Click here to see the email sent from the member to the observer)
FIVE KEY COMPONENTS IN THE True Colors PACKAGE
The Online Behavioral Style Assessment
The True Colors Assessment is an online process that only takes 3-5 minutes to complete. The member reads four cards - Orange, Blue, Green, and Gold -and decides which colors describe them from most to least. Once completed, it will determine the personality style of the member and generate a personalized True Colors Report for the member.
There are four primary colors. Each one of these four colors has very distinct and predictable joys, needs, strengths and values. Each of the four primary colors also has a secondary color. Once members understand these patterns, they have the key to unlock their ability to get along with nearly anyone. The Behavioral Style Assessment Report - Self Assessment
Each member receives a comprehensive personalized Color Style Report once the online Assessment is completed. It is a vital tool for improving all their personal and business relationships. It includes a description of behaviors they exhibit most of the time, plus specific strategies for improving their effectiveness in both business and personal situations. The report also offers suggestions for others on how they can treat the member more successfully in both business and personal interactions. The Observer Composite Report
After at least five personal or professional observers have responded, the member also receives the Observer Composite Report. This report will help interpret the composite results of the observers. This is an important component to the total Assessment package because it truly completes the 360-degree perspective for the member. Members also learn how to identify the behavioral patterns in others and how to deal with them most effectively.
Isn't the Report accurate? Yes, but only from the point of view of the member. Quite often, the behaviors that are being measured are more easily observed by others. We know better than others what our own thoughts and motives are, however others may be more accurate observers of our actual behavior - and it is behavior that we are intending to measure here.
Once each member has the Observer Composite Report, they will learn two things:
1. Their Color Spectrum through the eyes of others
2. Their degree of self-awareness They will know more about their self-awareness because they will be able to compare their self-assessment with their composite assessments of their observers (business colleagues or clients, or friends and family), and see how similar or different they are.
How to Use Behavioral Styles with Others
Now that you are more familiar with your own primary and secondary colors and are aware that there are three other primary styles, you can understand why you click with some people and not with others...
How to Use the True Colors with Others is your guide to learning to treat people differently ... according to their needs, not your needs.
This section will guide you through identifying another person's style as well as provide valuable information to their mode of operation in different environments ... at work, at home, in social settings, etc.
This section is an awareness tool to help you understand how you are similar and how you are different from the other styles. Through simple modifications in behavior, you will see your relationships improve for the better!
THREE KEY SITES TO THE ENTIRE PROCESS
Administrator Home Page
This Home Page is a key tool providing flexibility for training options and important data to track member progress. It is a personalized, private Home Page. It allows the Administrator to:
- Pre-purchase Assessments at a discount:
An Assessment Package includes the online Self-Assessment; the True Colors Report, an unlimited number of observer assessments for a 30-day period; and the Observer Composite Results, all on a personalized Home Page for each member.
- Distribute Assessments to members by simply entering each individual's first name, last name, and email address. Click SEND and an automatic email goes out. This is how a member becomes authorized to take the Assessment.
(Click here to see an email sent to a member)
- Track the account status to see how many Assessments have been used, how many are left, and order more as needed.
- View the Color Spectrum and reports of your members who are authorized to take the Assessment. This feature also allows you to see which members have completed the Assessment and send automated reminders to those who have not.
(Click here to see Print Graphs and Reports page)
- Permit or block members from seeing their personalized True Colors Report and colors results. Why block it? If you want to present the members with their reports and results at the time of the training session, meeting, etc. (so the members do not get ahead of themselves), you have the ability to do so.
- Print the collective results of up to 20 members on a single page with color codes and a color key to identify each individual member. This is great when you are working with a group and want to see at a glance where everyone falls on in relation to each other.
Administrator Assessment Page
Once the Administrator distributes Assessments to members authorizing them to take the Assessment, an email is sent to the members with a link to the Administrator's Assessment Page. This allows the member to register and take the 18-question online Assessment. Once an authorized member takes and submits his or her Assessment, one credit is deducted from the Administrator's account. Member Home Page
This is a personalized, private Home Page for each member.
It allows the Member to:
- Invite observers to complete the online observer Assessment on the member
- View observers invited - This is where the member can view, at a glance, all the observers he/she invited and can see who has completed the observer assessment and who has not. For those observers who have not yet completed the assessment for the member, the member only needs to click on a "send" button, and reminders are automatically sent to observers.
- View and print their personalized True Colors Report
(if access is permitted).
- View and print their Observer Composite Report
- Access the Using True Colors with Others Section
