Making Sense of Psychometrics: How to Use Personality Insights to Build Stronger Teams

with Isla Reddin

In today’s workplace, personality and behavior assessments are everywhere—from MBTI and DiSC to CliftonStrengths and 16Personalities. But do we really know what they measure—or how to use them to create meaningful growth?

In this interactive session, you’ll explore what these tools reveal (and what they don’t), learn how to translate results into practical team insights, and discover how to use assessments as a springboard for coaching conversations rather than labels. Whether you’re a leader, trainer, or coach, you’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and simple strategies to turn personality data into stronger relationships and better performance.

Key Takeaways

  • Identify what common workplace assessments actually measure—and where each adds value.
  • Learn how to interpret and discuss assessment results in ways that build trust, not stereotypes.
  • Compare four popular tools (MBTI, DiSC, CliftonStrengths, and 16Personalities) through a simple “what–why–when to use” framework.
  • Practice using personality insights to improve team communication and collaboration.
  • Leave with a one-page “Quick Guide to Psychometrics at Work” for practical application.

Who It’s For

  • Learning and Development professionals who facilitate team-building or leadership programs.
  • Managers and HR leaders who use assessments in hiring, onboarding, or development.
  • Coaches and trainers who want to incorporate psychometric tools without heavy theory or certification.
  • Anyone curious about understanding themselves and others better at work.
