Our Assessment Suite
Behavioural Assessment (DISC) Understand how potential and current leaders communicate, collaborate, and lead.
Based on Marston’s DISC theory, the Thomas Behavioural Assessment provides a clear view of how individuals behave in a work setting — helping you:
Build more cohesive, productive teams Reduce interpersonal friction and misalignment Conduct better interviews with tailored question guide Understand suitability for hybrid/remote environments Improve onboarding, motivation, and retention
Aptitude Assessment (GIA) Measure cognitive agility and learning potential, not just qualifications.
The Thomas Aptitude Assessment helps you identify who has the intellectual horsepower to learn quickly, adapt, and take on leadership responsibility. It’s especially useful when:
Bridging the skills gap through potential, not just experience Predicting future leadership capability Maintaining engagement through appropriate challenges Improving long-term retention through role alignment
Emotional Intelligence (TEIQue) Measure how leaders understand and manage their emotions and those of others.
Emotional intelligence is directly linked to performance, especially in leadership. The Thomas Emotional Intelligence Assessment answers key questions:
How self-aware and adaptable is this person? Do they recognise and respond to the emotions of others? How well do they manage conflict and relationships under pressure? Are they suited to building and leading high-trust teams?
