MiRo Assessment

“An assessment that works for people at work.”

The MiRo Assessment is a cost effective way of getting high quality information about how individuals and teams like to work. Using the charts and reports produced you can create individual and team action plans that will improve performance. Useful in times of change, or during a change management programme.

The MiRo Assessment is based on a thirty question multiple choice questionnaire. Candidates are asked to choose words that most and least describe them. Some choices may seem obvious but the assessment deliberately forces responses at an intuitive level too and is therefore responsive (to some extent at least) to mood or the respondent’s current situation. The results will be fairly consistent over time but MiRo unlike many other psychometric assessments can give some extra information about what might be happening for you right now.

There are no right or wrong answers of course and the result that you will gain will be directly connected to the answers that you give so if you are taking as assessment the trick is to try to be as honest as possible. That way the result that you get will most accurately reflect who you really are and how you really behave. It shouldn’t take more that ten or fifteen minutes and it is all on line.

The assessment is looking at two main dichotomies. The first weighs your tendency to see the world in terms of concrete, here and now sense data against more conceptual, intangible, future based perception. This can also be understood as a tendency to see that word as a place that is either more or less powerful than us as an individual human being. That is to say, somewhere that either does or does not tend to bend to our will. It also measures how we tend to make decisions i.e. either by rational analytical processes or through more empathic, personal reasoning. This too can be conceived of in terms of our relationship with our environment in that some of us tend to see the world as a generally benign and co-operative place while others see it as a competitive and potentially hostile one. Of course both are true at different times and both perceiving styles are appropriate at different times and we all have access to all behavioural modes to greater or lesser extent but we all tend to lean in one direction or another.

The MiRo assessment uncovers our preferences, our behavioural handedness. Even though we can do anything we chose we all tend to favour one or two particular modes of behaviour over the others. Once you have taken the assessment you will receive a full report explaining which of the modes you have a tendency to use and which you have a tendency to avoid. It will tell you what the advantages of your particular make-up are and what some of the potential pit falls might be too. It will give you tips on communication and on dealing with people with other behavioural preferences along with a few ideas about how to develop new behavioural habits.

The assessment will be administered by an accredited MiRo practitioner who will be pleased to help you to understand and to get the best out of your assessment in complete confidence. The MiRo system is designed to help you and our practitioners are trained to make sure that that is the case. If you need to know anything, just ask.
