Why take the FOCUS2 assessment?

Learn your personality type - Your reports will be based on the work of C.G. Jung, a Swiss psychoanalyst who published a book called Psychological Types that changed the way people saw themselves. When people understand their personality preferences, they often experience an "ah-ha" feeling of enlightenment. Choices and events that used to be puzzling now make sense. Join the millions who have discovered what strengths they have based on their personality preferences.  

Use scientifically validated tools - The reliable and interactive assessment tools have been scientifically validated and proven over time to be some of the best tools out there. Focus2 measures three interactive concepts: personality, interests, and values. The combination of these three instruments gives unparalleled power by providing you with great insights and accurate results. Focus2 reports offer feedback in such a way that you can help yourself. The reports are designed to be used to improve your performance.

Become more self-aware - As you become more aware of why you do what you do, you become more effective at what you do. It is a positive feedback loop to inform your career and life choices. Your assessment responses are saved, so come back again and again to explore your results.
