Understanding the Stressed Personality
PREP is a psychometric assessment tool that provides analytics for managers and professional staff. It is similar to DISC, BANK, Strengthsfinder and Meyers-Briggs, but with a twist. Most assessments analyze the 4 quadrants of personality. PREP looks at stress levels and how they differentiate.
Why? Personalities change under stress. It’s used my managers to better manage and coach their teams. For sales reps, it’s used to further understand themselves and partner stronger with clients.
Instruction Manual for Understanding Staff
PREP has three elements:
-
- Provides self awareness – how you communicate you solve problems
- Natural state in low stress
- How you adapt the impact of stress
By understanding yourself and what works, you can read a prospects Linkedin profile with success. Staff who use PREP are 70% more effective reading others and tuning their selling skills accordingly.
