Promana assessments compared to HBDI

  • Focusing on observable actions rather than cognition, Promana explores what people actually do, and reports in a non-judgmental way on their behavioural preferences.
  • The Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument (HBDI) uses a four-quadrant survey to analyse people's thinking preferences, requiring more intrusive analysis of cognitive and emotional factors.
  • Our position: We believe that focusing on observable actions offers a more accurate and practical understanding of behaviour. By avoiding cognitive and emotional judgments, Promana provides clear, actionable insights that are directly applicable to real-world situations, ensuring a more grounded approach to personal development.

Promana assessments compared to CliftonStrengths

We need to realise that our path to transformation is through our mistakes. We’re meant to make mistakes, recognise them, and move on to become unlimited.

— Yehuda Berg

  • Focusing on observable actions that are known to affect personal success, growth and development, Promana offers insight into 144 individual behaviours, in 12 distinct domains of human endeavour, to create a well-rounded model of performance behaviours.
  • With an emphasis on identifying natural talents drawn from 34 talent themes, CliftonStrengths focuses on strength. While weaknesses may be ignored, they are still implied, which fosters the notion that the assessments make a judgment about good and bad elements.
  • Our position: Promana's approach provides a more balanced and holistic view of personal development. By examining a wider range of behaviours and avoiding implicit judgments, our assessments empower individuals to understand their full spectrum of capabilities and areas for growth, promoting a more positive and comprehensive development journey.

Promana assessments compared to DiSC

  • Created by industrial relations and organisational behaviour experts, Promana avoids making jugdments based on fixed notions of personality, instead offering dynamic insights into factors affecting success in real-world situations.
  • Published in the early 20th century by the creator of the Wonder Woman comics, the DiSC system is part behaviour-based and part personality assessment. It places people into four categories: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, Conscientiousness.
  • Our position: Promana's modern, scientifically grounded approach provides dynamic and context-specific insights, making it more relevant and adaptable. By focusing on situational behaviours rather than static personality traits, we offer a more flexible and practical tool for personal and professional growth.

How wonderful is it that nobody need to wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.

— Anne Frank

  • Constructed in the 1970s by experts, and employing current scientific methodological approaches like pairwise comparison, Promana avoids personality judgements and connotations of good or bad, by focusing on what people really do in 12 separate behavioural categories.
  • MBTI is a pseudoscientific personality quiz created during WWII by two fans of the psychologist Carl Jung. Dividing humankind into just 16 categories, it was the mistaken belief of its creators that their analysis of personalities would help match jobs to people.
  • Our position: Promana leverages robust scientific methods to provide nuanced and objective insights. By avoiding the simplistic categorisation of individuals, we respect the complexity of human behaviour, offering a more accurate and empowering tool for personal development and career alignment.
