This assessment measures the 6 competencies
Each dimension is a key skill or competency that employers look for in candidates.
Managing Difficult Emotions
The capacity to experience intense or uncomfortable emotions (anger, fear, shame, frustration, disappointment, anxiety) while maintaining functional behavior, clear cognition, and appropriate emotional expression. Emotion management is operationalized through: (1) emotion recognition (ability to identify and name specific emotions as they arise, distinguishing between similar emotional states), (2) intensity modulation (capacity to reduce emotional intensity when it interferes with functioning, without complete suppression or denial), (3) behavioral decoupling (ability to choose behavior independent of emotional state—e.g., speaking calmly while feeling angry, proceeding with action while feeling anxious), (4) expression appropriateness (communicating emotions in contextually suitable ways and intensities), (5) emotional endurance (tolerating uncomfortable emotions without requiring immediate relief through avoidance, substances, or displacement), and (6) functional persistence (continuing goal-directed activity while experiencing difficult emotions rather than emotion-driven behavior abandonment). This dimension measures the gap between emotional experience and behavioral response, assessing whether individuals can function effectively regardless of internal emotional state.
Calmness Under Pressure
The maintenance of physiological composure, cognitive clarity, and measured decision-making when facing time constraints, high-stakes consequences, multiple competing demands, or external scrutiny. Calmness under pressure is measured through: (1) physiological regulation (control of stress-induced physical symptoms—rapid heartbeat, shallow breathing, tension, trembling—that impair performance), (2) cognitive preservation (maintaining analytical thinking, memory access, and problem-solving capacity rather than cognitive narrowing or blank-mind states), (3) communication stability (speaking at controlled pace and volume, articulating thoughts coherently, avoiding reactive statements), (4) decision quality maintenance (continuing to gather relevant information, consider alternatives, and apply logical reasoning rather than impulsive choices), (5) temporal perception (accurate time estimation and pacing rather than panic-driven rushing or freeze-based time distortion), and (6) recovery speed (rapid return to baseline functioning after high-pressure event concludes). This dimension specifically assesses performance under acute pressure situations with defined endpoints, distinguishing it from chronic stress tolerance.
Assertiveness
The direct, respectful expression of one's needs, preferences, opinions, and boundaries while simultaneously respecting others' rights to the same, particularly in situations involving disagreement, competing interests, or power differentials. Assertiveness is operationalized through: (1) direct communication (stating positions clearly using "I" statements rather than hints, suggestions, or indirect communication), (2) boundary establishment (clearly articulating limits on time, resources, or acceptable behavior when requests or demands exceed capacity or values), (3) disagreement expression (voicing differing opinions or perspectives respectfully when they conflict with others, including authority figures), (4) request making (asking directly for what is needed rather than expecting others to infer needs or hoping needs will be met without asking), (5) persistent advocacy (maintaining position through initial resistance or pushback without becoming aggressive or capitulating), and (6) balanced respect (asserting own needs without dismissing, minimizing, or overriding others' legitimate needs). This dimension distinguishes assertiveness from both passive communication (indirect, accommodating, self-silencing) and aggressive communication (dominating, dismissive of others, hostile).
Difficult Conversations
The skillful navigation of conversations involving sensitive topics, negative feedback, conflicting needs, emotional content, or potential relationship damage, characterized by clear message delivery while maintaining relationship integrity and achieving conversation objectives. Difficult conversation competence is measured through: (1) conversation initiation (proactively addressing issues requiring discussion rather than avoidance, delay, or hoping problems resolve independently), (2) message clarity (communicating core message directly and specifically rather than cushioning to the point of ambiguity), (3) emotional containment (managing own emotional reactions during conversation to maintain productive dialogue), (4) recipient consideration (structuring delivery to maximize understanding and minimize unnecessary defensiveness—timing, privacy, specific examples), (5) bidirectional dialogue (inviting and genuinely considering the other person's perspective rather than monologue delivery), (6) objective achievement (conversation results in mutual understanding, agreement on next steps, or clear articulation of positions even when agreement isn't reached), and (7) relationship preservation (conducting conversation in manner that maintains or strengthens relationship rather than creating lasting damage). This dimension focuses on conversations where the content itself is inherently difficult, regardless of the other person's receptivity.
Conflict Style
The characteristic behavioral pattern an individual employs when facing interpersonal disagreement, competing interests, or goal incompatibility with others. Conflict style is operationalized across five distinct approaches, measured by behavioral frequency in conflict situations: (1) Competing (pursuing own concerns assertively at potential expense of relationship—prioritizing outcome over harmony, using authority or persistence to achieve own goals), (2) Accommodating (prioritizing relationship preservation over own interests—yielding to others' preferences, minimizing own needs to maintain harmony), (3) Avoiding (withdrawing from conflict situation—postponing discussions, changing subjects, physically or psychologically removing self from disagreement), (4) Compromising (seeking middle-ground solutions—each party concedes partially, splitting differences, finding "good enough" solutions acceptable to both), and (5) Collaborating (pursuing solutions that fully satisfy both parties' core interests—investing time to understand underlying needs, creative problem-solving, integrating perspectives). This dimension identifies dominant conflict patterns and assesses flexibility to employ different approaches based on situation requirements (some conflicts warrant competing, others require collaboration). No single style is universally superior; effectiveness depends on style-situation matching.
Empathy
The capacity to accurately perceive, understand, and appropriately respond to others' emotional states, perspectives, and unspoken needs through cognitive perspective-taking and emotional attunement. Empathy is operationalized through three integrated components: (1) emotion recognition (accurately identifying others' emotional states through verbal content, tone, facial expressions, and behavioral cues—distinguishing between similar emotions like frustration vs. disappointment), (2) perspective-taking (cognitively understanding situations from others' viewpoint—comprehending their reasoning, values, constraints, and why they interpret events differently), (3) emotional resonance (appropriate vicarious emotional response—feeling concern when others experience distress, sharing in others' positive emotions), (4) need inference (identifying what others require in emotional moments—listening vs. advice vs. action vs. space), and (5) responsive action (behaving in ways that demonstrate understanding and address others' emotional or psychological needs appropriately to context and relationship). This dimension distinguishes between cognitive empathy (understanding others' perspectives intellectually) and affective empathy (emotional attunement), measuring both components as essential to interpersonal effectiveness.
