Assessment Tips

What are assessment tools for coaching?

Tests for coaching are assessment tools that help coaches and coachees gain clear insights into personality, strengths, skills, values, and day-to-day behavior. Popular examples include The Bridge Personality and The Bridge Career. These tools support better self-awareness, help you choose a focused development approach, and make it easier to track progress over time.

Coaching tests can cover different areas, such as personality, cognitive abilities, and skill gap analysis. Used well, they add objective input to coaching and make personal and professional growth more concrete.

During a coaching process, it is important to gain more insight into a coachee’s performance, skills, and talents. For this, TestGroup has a wide range of tests available that can be used during coaching.

Tests can be used in various situations, such as in those where people would like to gain more self-knowledge and get started with self-development. Tests can then be used to provide coachees with insight into their functioning or to become aware of their strengths and areas in which they can improve. A personality test, ability test, or competency test is often used for this purpose.

A test can also be used for a team to, for example, analyze the group regarding team roles, group processes, and collaboration. TestGroup has a team test available for this purpose. A test can also be taken during career coaching, for which a career test at vocational education level, university of applied sciences level or research university level is available.

4 color test for coaching

A 4 color test for coaching is a practical personality tool that helps you understand someone’s behavior, communication style, and drivers. Coaches often use it in work settings, for example in team development and leadership training, because it gives an easy shared language to talk about differences. Most 4 color models are inspired by the ideas of Swiss psychologist Carl Jung and group preferences into four main “color energies” or types.
