More information on the DISC II and Achiever Seminar

Hiring mistakes are made every day because hiring professionals have poor interviewing skills or inadequate tools to help them. The IHD Corporation assessments, the DISC II and The Achiever, when used as a part of the hiring system, reduce turnover and insure the quality of new hires.

On Friday, Mar. 16, 2012, IHD Corporation will be presenting the DISC II and Achiever Certification Seminar, which is designed to increase your training and expertise in administering and interpreting the results of the DISC II assessment and The Achiever, the two assessment tools that make up the IHD Corporation Assessment System.

From 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., the seminar will consist of workshops and discussions on the DISC II assessment. This session will help enhance your understanding of the temperament concept of behavior. An initial overview is given of the four basic temperaments and temperament blend. Plotting point dynamics are covered, as well as how to read the "whole picture" of all three graphs and verify a person's temperament pattern.

After lunch, from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m., we will conduct a workshop on The Achiever, the personality profile used in conjunction with the temperament profile (DISC II) to gather more detailed and specific information on the individual, as well as identify “adaptive” behavior. The purpose of this workshop is to increase your training in interpreting The Achiever as well as using it in management. The more versed you are in the correlations of different personality dimensions, the more valuable you will find the written reports and other IHD Corporation tools you use in hiring and developing your people.

From 3:00 to 5:00 p.m., we will also cover correlations between both assessments and provide a deeper understanding of how to use the profiles in creating "models" or “benchmarks” for certain positions within the organization. In order to participate and learn the most from this session, please bring with you the profiles of at least five people you have personally profiled and whose profile results you have found to be particularly challenging in reading and interpreting.

The fee for attending the Certification Seminar is $750 per person. Please fill in the form above and mail your registration fee to:

Sincerely,
Leroy Hamm, President
