Thinking Styles and Preferences
The Fitzgerald MSI Thinking Style and Preferences Report helps answer many questions about people, pairs, groups and teams. The results help you quickly improve lines of communication, interpersonal relationships, productivity, efficiency and business results.
Use the report to help onboard new hires quickly and/or improve the working dynamics on and between existing teams. Get answers to questions like, “Why aren’t we all on the same page? Why doesn’t he understand what I’m saying? Why can’t they see the problem as clearly as I can? Can’t we just do it? Why does it seem like our meetings go on forever but we don’t get enough done? Why are facts just a suggestion to some people? How can their team be so blind to the rules my team has to follow?”
After completing a 20-25 minute online assessment, each person receives a comprehensive report that includes in-depth interpretation of the results, comparison data, and activities for further exploration and development. Each person, pair, or team is debriefed on how to understand the results and adapt thinking preferences and optimize brainpower to maximize business results
The analytical foundation of the report is powered by the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument (HBDI®), a time-proven psychometric assessment that defines and describes the way you think and process information. It’s a methodology designed to help thinkers, teams and organizations better benefit from all of the thinking available to them. It acknowledges that while different tasks require different mental processes, and different people prefer different kinds of thinking, organizations will get better results when they can strategically leverage the full spectrum of thinking available.
