What people say
“A superb treatment of the idea of Personal Best.” Dr. Stephen R. Covey “Your assessment was easy and quick to complete. I cannot think of any dislikes.” Larry Jadrych, CPA “The assessment itself is very comprehensive. I also like that it is in pdf format and not just html so I can save it and read it while not on the internet.” Elaine Wuertz “Optimal Thinking has a little bit for everyone and will help people be the best self they can be.” Kenneth Blanchard, Ph.D. “This analysis provides a sound method for gaining insight into how your thinking and actions are perceived by others unlike other ways such information can be obtained. It provides a good understanding of how to recognize your own style and enables you to consider how to improve those areas.” Lenny Bart “Forces you to think outside the box of the Myers Briggs or similar tools. Also show you more of a rounded look at who you are and how you think than other assessments.” Kurt Weber “The discussion of "how to" connect with other "thinking types" will be helpful with my relationships with others, both at work and in my personal life.” Tom Rutenberg “I enjoyed the insight in to how my thinking style interacts with others. I felt the description of the interaction was accurate.” Bennett Letwin “To fast create an optimal life, lifestyle and future, read, digest and use Optimal Thinking.” Mark Victor Hansen “One year after 90 executives completed the corporate assessment, the company saw a 19% increase in employee engagement, a 23% reduction in turnover, and dramatically improved manager-employee communication.” James Washington, MBA “A superb treatment of the idea of Personal Best.” Dr. Stephen R.

About Corporate Assessments
Employees obtain online access to the Assessment via your email invitations. After taking the Assessment, they will see their Self-Optimization Report and be able to invite unlimited observers to offer input. At the end of your predetermined Observer invitation period, each employee will receive a custom Composite (Self and Observers) Report. Your Administrator controls the viewing access of the Reports and eCharts. If you wish to discuss the results and eCharts during a training or consulting session, you can block access to these features. You may prefer to have employees view their Reports immediately after completing the Assessment. The choice is yours. 1
Your company pre-purchases the Assessment in bulk at a substantial volume discount. 2
Your Administrator emails employees, or uploads a csv file, authorizing them to take the Assessment. 3
Employees click the link in their email and fill out a registration form. 4
The employee completes the Self-Optimization Assessment, and may invite Observers. 5
At your discretion, employees automatically get web-based access to their Self-Optimization and Composite Reports (PDF) with a personal development roadmap. Three Key Areas
Administrator
The Administrator distributes the Assessment via email invitations to a team of coworkers, company division, board of directors, entire organization, etc. and controls access to the results. OptimalThinking.com will administer the Assessment if you don't want to perform this task internally.
Member
The Member is invited and authorized to take the Assessment via email invitations from the Administrator.
Observer
The Observer is invited by a Member via email to complete an online Observer Assessment about the Member. By inviting Observers, Members can acquire a 360º view of themselves. Members can invite an unlimited number of Observers — simply provide the Observer's name and email address, and the invitation is sent automatically. Three Key Components
The Assessment
Members answer 50 questions online, after they receive access to the Assessment from the Administrator.
The Self-Optimization Report
Members receive a comprehensive, personalized report after completing the online Assessment — a description of dominant and secondary thinking styles, core motivators, stressors, performance levels, and strategies for maximizing communications and effectiveness in business and personal situations, plus a personalized eChart. This report only provides Members with a view of themselves.
The Composite Report
A Member may be aware of his or her own thoughts, motives, and behavior, however an Observer may be more accurate in describing the Member's actual thinking, interaction styles, and performance. After five Observers respond, the Member also receives a Composite Report (Self plus Observers) — we recommend 10 or more for anonymous, accurate feedback. Observers do not have access to the Member's Report. As soon as an Observer completes their Assessment, the result is automatically included on the Member's eChart. Self-Optimization Report
