• You sometimes wonder how your personal behavior choices are impacting you, those around you, and your career.

The Harrison Assessment can support individuals in career choices, job success, and personal growth/development. We truly are a product of our choices in life and how we choose to behave is a vital component to our success. Different roles, jobs, and situations, call for different behaviors. The question to ask is whether you have the behavioral agility to function effectively to specific situations as they arise? What may be a natural behavior could, in fact, be hindering success without any awareness of the impact of the behavior. But Behaviors are Choices and in understanding how our preferred behaviors are impacting specific roles or situations, we can then adapt and adopt different behavioral patterns that support personal growth and success.

The Harrison Assessment of Behavioral Preferences is a research-based tool that provides a highly accurate profile of individual patterns of behavior and insights into how those behaviors might be impacting individual or organizational success. The impact of behavior can be further explored in reading the discussion on Behaviors as Choices.

Unlike many similar profiles, The Harrison Assessment does not evaluate personality or attempt to categorize people into groups based on personality types. Rather, the Harrison Assessment looks at Behavioral Preferences. The importance of this distinction is that personality is the general framework of who we are. Understanding someone's personality is valuable in understanding how to effectively interact with them. But if someone is struggling with another person on a personal level an approach that starts with changing who they are - changing personality - is going to be an exercise in frustration. Behaviors on the other hand are products of the choices that we make within the construct of our personality. In other words - behaviors are a choice and choices can be changed.

The power of the Harrison Assessment is that it acts as a mirror and allows for some insight into the behavioral preferences (choices) that are being made and how those preferences are both impacting their interactions and shaping how they are perceived. Once this is seen and understood and a case is made for how alternative choices would better support personal goals, it becomes possible to create space for different behavioral choices.

Another mirror that the Harrison Assessment provides is a look at how we might act or react under stress. Often these responses are outside of the norm of our typical behavior and are usually not considered to be a productive action. You might call it a look into the potential dark side within all of us. Unfortunately, when these alter ego behaviors come into play they are in such contrast to our typical patterns that people will remember them and refer back to them as signature events in their relationship with you. These dark side behaviors are also the products of our choices and preferences. And once again, in seeing and understanding them we can create space of different choices and better management of ourselves.
