The TIGER system

• 1. Two sets of questions.

  One asks about working style, in the DISC tradition. The other asks about character, in the six-factor HEXACO tradition, including honesty and humility. Everyone gets them in the same words.

• 2. Five readings on top.

  TIGER reads those answers as Trust, Influence, Grit, Execution and Resilience. The five are ours. The traditions underneath aren't, and we say which is which.

• 3. A range on every reading.

  Lower, our estimate, higher. If the answers don't hold together, the range widens and the report says why.

• 4. A check on how you answered.

  Straight down the page, or faster than anybody could read, and the sitting is flagged. We never hide or throw away the result. You can sit again after 30 days.

• 5. A report you can say out loud.

  A plain sentence for each reading. For a decision somebody else is making, a second, deeper document is shaped by the decision they named.

• 6. One profile.

  Every assessment writes to the same Kirnova profile. Take two and you see where they agree and where they don't. The same answers always give the same result.

Meera is invented, and we typed in her answers. Say she's one of three people a company in Pune is considering for a role with long projects and little supervision. All three sat the same 48 questions.

Trust is her highest reading. Grit is her lowest. The system doesn't say she's wrong for the role. It says: ask about the long, dull middle of a piece of work. The other two get the same questions, read the same way, so the manager can compare them fairly and still makes the call.

• We don't publish the weights. How answers become a reading is the product. What it stands on, how it behaves and what it refuses to do are all public.
• It's self-report. Nobody watched the person at work.
• No model learns from outcomes. Nothing in the scoring is fed by who got hired.
• There's no pass mark and no automatic rejection. Two overlapping readings show as level.
• It describes now. That's why an organisation's access runs out and a fresh sitting is asked for.
