Learning Agility Assessment

Summary

Personality-based assessment measuring five dimensions of learning agility: Change Agility, Mental Agility, People Agility, Results Agility, and Self-Awareness. Self-Awareness acts as a moderator (coachability indicator) that adjusts scores on the other four dimensions. Based on the De Meuse, Dai & Hallenbeck (2010) framework — same model as Korn Ferry viaEDGE, but with narrower construct definitions and greater scoring transparency. Developed by Assessio as a complement to MAP.
