The Risk Type Compass is a reliable representation of an individual’s risk type and risk nature and has been developed and rigorously tested by leading occupational psychologists. We use it extensively as an aid to the transformation of the individual’s attitude towards the decision-making process, thereby creating a space to make better informed choices and decisions.
The intention of Lumina Spark is to raise the individual’s level of self-awareness and help them understand their behaviours more explicitly. The Lumina Spark is based on decades of psychological research and provides indicators about how individuals are likely to behave, acknowledges their key strengths (and how they sometimes overplay these) and identifies behaviours that are rarely displayed.

Hogan assessments help organisations to recruit the right people, develop key talent and teams, and evaluate leadership potential. We are accredited to use the Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI), Hogan Development Survey (HDS), and the Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory (MVPI). Individually, these questionnaires offer sharp-focused assessment and provide a unique insight into the depths of personality and cognitive reasoning with strong implications for performance, retention, organisational “fit” and leadership effectiveness.
Thomas’ behavioural assessment PPA is a DISC profiling tool, which provides an accurate insight into how people behave at work, helping people to make sense of their working styles.
It provides an initial profile detailing a person’s strengths and limitations, their communication style, their value to the business, what motivates them, their basic fears and crucially how they behave under pressure.
