HUMAN PATTERNS INVENTORY

The Statistically Sound, Flexible, and Comprehensive Partial of Preferences and Interests

Human Patterns is a web-administered psychometric instrument that generates comprehensive graphic and numerical data in user-friendly formats. You will be able to assess personal, interpersonal, occupational and organizational preferences and interests. You would have to administer at least 15 other psychometric instruments to get as much information as you receive from one administration of Human Patterns. This vital information can be used for individual clients or within organizations to improve and increase self-awareness, personal development, and career growth.

HUMAN PATTERNS SPEAKS THE LANGUAGE OF YOUR SPECIALTY

Human Patterns supplements your professional services with useful and relevant information.

Career Counselors can offer clients a thorough picture of  their ideal working environment that enhances and expands upon instruments like the MBTI, Campbell and others.

Human Relations Trainers can tailor training to match the learning styles of their trainees.

Internal Personnel and Placement Specialists can match job profiles and work group needs with those of candidates.

Employee Relations Specialists can predict areas of synergy and conflict between individuals to mediate differences effectively.

Team Builders and Management Development Professionals can identify group strengths and predict patterns of interaction.

Management Trainers can devise management and leadership development programs based on the distribution of interests and preferences for an individual manager or for a group of managers.

Clinicians can manage the clinical process from "real world" diagnostic data.

STATISTICALLY SOUND FOR RELIABLE RESULTS

Human Patterns is built to exceed standards for psychometric instrumentation. It is a factor analytic tool with a database of over 5000, sound item construct validity, and high explanations of variance. Face validity is extremely high. You provide your client with a "state of the art" psychometric portrait --- even patterns of preference in high pressure or stress situations.

DIFFERENT OUTPUTS FOR DIFFERENT PURPOSES

Human Patterns Outputs are configured to provide graphs and statistics for a multitude of applications.

Individual graphs provide a comprehensive personal portrait of preferences and interests.

Paired graphs provide comparisons of two individuals for conflict mediation, negotiation of assignments, enhancement of communication and improved decision making.

Team comparison graphs provide a portrait of a work group, highlighting strengths and liabilities to aid in determining future personnel additions, training needs, or additional procedures that can complement the group's performance. 

Occupational comparison graphs provide a portrait of the synergy of a candidate with a population of individuals in the same occupation. These can be tailored to specific occupational groups. We have already developed some for managers, sales people, clerical staff, tellers, trainers, law enforcement officers, supervisors, organization development staff, and production roles.

Clinical graphs provide the psychotherapist with diagnostic and case management information.

PRACTITIONER AND CLIENT-FRIENDLY REPORT

Human Patterns graphs are readily understandable. The visual impact of the graphs and the commonsense theoretical models and "plain English" legend labels enable your client to easily understand your interpretation. Data is presented in two formats; numerical for rapid scanning by you, and graphic for your client to easily see the results. The data is in the form of standard deviations from our statistically valid sample populations.

THE ONLY INSTRUMENT THAT SAFEGUARDS AGAINST OVER GENERALIZATIONS

Many psychometric tools focus on a single issue. This sometimes forces the administrator to extrapolate a complete personality from a limited number of tested factors, especially when the client desires information that is not directly measured by that tool. Human Patterns tests many factors, allowing the administrator to directly address an issue. Mislabeling is prevented and the risk to careers and self esteem is reduced.

IDENTIFY MANY NUANCES IN PREFERENCES AND INTERESTS

People sometimes operate differently under pressure. Human Patterns indicates how the individual will shift or even change preferences or interests under pressure. Because so many factors are measured, the instrument also identifies which "cluster" of factors drew more responses. This lets the natural rank order of issues and themes rise to the surface. The administrator can discuss topic areas in light of their importance to the person who completed Human Patterns. This results in a richly textured and tailored interpretation.

A BROAD RANGE OF APPLICATIONS AND THE VERSATILITY TO MEET EMERGING NEEDS.

Each administration provides you with a "building block" for human resources within your client organization. Instead of administering a series of different instruments each time a new assessment need arises, existing Human Patterns results can be reworked to suit a different purpose. For instance, results from one individual can be combined with results from another for a mediation application; or a group of individual scores can be combined for management development, job profiling or team building applications. If your client already has data from another instrument, we can often configure outputs to approximate it at an 85% or better level. This enables data you have already gathered from other assessment tools to remain usable and convertible into Human Patterns formats. Your clients will appreciate the cost effectiveness and versatility of this integrated approach.

MORE THAN 35 GRAPHS FROM A SINGLE ADMINISTRATION

Human Patterns graphs are clustered into four groups. Our sophisticated computer programming and scoring system has enabled us to produce wonderfully comprehensive reports.

    Interpersonal Style and Resources Graphs.

General Interpersonal Pattern, Fears and Dislikes, Reaction to Confrontation, Coping with Conflict, Interpersonal Resources, Small Group and Committee Behavior.

    Work and Occupational Interests.

QUICK TURNAROUND, EXPERT SUPPORT, AND ETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICES

Human Patterns questions are administered over the internet or in an easy-to-complete mailable booklet. The booklet can be completed at the pace of the person taking it without an administrator monitoring the process. Results can be shipped the business day following receipt of a completed booklet. Call our number (1-803-792-0103) for expert consultation and coaching on applications and interpretation. Each person who completes Human Patterns is entitled to a full interpretation from a certified administrator. Customers must agree to ethical use of instrumentation within their organization. Information as powerful and comprehensive as that gathered from Human Patterns must be treated within high professional standards. Administrators who do not meet these standards forfeit their certification.    

OUTSTANDING TRAINING, SUPPORT, AND MANUALS ARE INCLUDED

Certification training in Human Patterns is offered to professionals with a Masters level education in their discipline, knowledge of tests and measurement or statistics, and experience with other psychometric tools. Internal personnel specialists meeting less rigorous criteria are entitled to use Human Patterns only inside their own organization. Certification requires an intensive three-day training process using the candidate's own scores along with the scores of other candidates. Ethical, legal, and professional standards are covered as well as extensive training in interpretation of Human Patterns. Certified administrators are assigned a sponsor to act as their coach until both feel confident that interpretation skills are developed. The sponsor receives 20% of the gross sales volume of the administrator for whom they provide support. Some administrators are selected to receive advanced training to become Training Administrators. An Administrator's Manual is provided with your training. There are additional manuals for specialized applications.

HUMAN PATTERNS ---- A POWERFUL TOOL FOR YOUR BUSINESS

You can build your business through appropriate use of Human Patterns. No other web-administered psychometric instrument provides more comprehensive or statistically sound information with such a diversity of report formats and applications.
