Validation & Methods

LMAP Assessments are reliable and valid measures of thirteen personality traits. Like a snapshot of a person’s personality, the unique combination of traits that form an LMAP or MMAP Profile reflect a person’s distinctive personality.

LMAP Assessments were developed within the context of a large and growing body of research which shows a complex of personality traits that are consistently associated with high performance and a distinct set of traits associated with decreased performance in leadership and management roles.

LMAP Assessments draws from an extensive library of interpretive reports that reflects hundreds of combinations of the 13 traits. An LMAP or MMAP Report provides participants with in-depth, plain English, expert analysis of how the leader is perceived by peers, direct reports, their manager, and internal or external clients. The report is intended to be a “conversation starter,” to educate leaders and to stimulate insights and a sense of personal accountability around leadership behaviors. The conversation drives a Self-Development Plan and (ideally) a commitment to implement the Self-Development Plan over a one year time-frame.

LMAP Assessments help to inform and guide leadership and manager development and is intended to be used with a trained HR/OD professional in seminars or for coaching.

LMAP is not to be used for selection, placement, promotion, or salary decisions.
