Team DNA™ turns individual Synergy Assessment results into a clear picture of how your team communicates, collaborates, makes decisions, handles pressure, and grows together.
Most assessments stop at the individual. Team DNA™ goes further — it analyzes the patterns that emerge when people work together. It shows you not just who someone is, but how they'll fit into the specific team you already have.

Forced-Choice Validation
Questions that require choosing between competing preferences to reveal true patterns.
The Synergy Assessment is built to scale — from one person's personal insights all the way to a full team intelligence picture. Here's how it works at each layer:
Many assessments use rating scales — asking people to agree or disagree with statements. The problem is that most people rate themselves highly on everything. It doesn't reveal true preference.
Forced-choice questions work differently. Instead of rating, respondents must choose between two competing work tendencies. For example: "When starting a project, do you prefer to plan thoroughly first — or begin quickly and adjust as you go?"
These questions reveal actual preference patterns rather than idealized self-perception. They're one of several methods used across the 260-question assessment to improve the accuracy and usefulness of the results. No assessment can eliminate all bias — but forced-choice methodology helps surface more authentic data.
Team DNA™ is designed to be a practical tool — not just an interesting report. Here's how employers put it to work:
Most tools cover one layer. Team DNA™ is built to cover the full picture — individual insight, team intelligence, and ongoing hiring guidance.
