TTI Behavior Assessment compared to Big 5

By virtue of being on this webpage, you have been asked to complete four short assessments by a Value Added Associate of TTI Success Insights. The task should take approximately 30 – 40 minutes. Each participant will receive a personalized behavioral report for helping us gather this important information. As a result of this report, we are asking for your name and email so the report can be generated and sent to you. After the building of this document, all names and emails are deleted from the data base export and your responses will be all anonymous.

With the goal of continuous improvement, TTI Success Insights is running a series of comparison studies to see how our assessments compare and contrast with other personal attribute instruments.

This Study addresses several questions.

  1. How does TTI Success Insights' behavior assessment compare to the Big 5 assessments?
  2. How will participant behavior responses compare to a set of likert scaled behavior items?
  3. What characteristics from these assessments can be matched to participants with different levels of leadership responsibilities.

TTI Success Insights is conducting research looking at how five-factor traits correlate with data from the Style Insights (DISC) Assessment as well as an alternative form of the DISC that we have developed that uses Likert-scale ratings of the 96 DISC items. In addition, Andy Johnson, an executive coach with Price Associates and a PhD student in psychology (Industrial-Organizational emphasis) at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, AZ, is conducting a dissertation study looking at DISC traits and the Big Five personality assessment to examine the possible presence of authentic leadership, a recent theory of leadership. 

Research Agreement

By virtue of being on this webpage, you have been asked to complete four short assessments. This task is expected to take approximately 30-40 minutes, but can be broken down into four ten minute segments if necessary. Participants are asked to complete this task within two weeks of receiving this announcement. Participants were invited by a TTI Success Insights Value Added Associate and should NOT forward the initial invitation to anyone else. Please read the attach Informed Consent form. Proceeding to the set of assessments will serve as verification of your consent to participate.

Informed Consent

Andy Johnson, a doctoral student at Grand Canyon University, College of Doctoral Studies, has invited you to participate in this research study. The purpose of the research is to determine if there is evidence that either five-factor personality traits or behavioral style (DISC) dimensions can predict the presence of a new model of leadership called authentic leadership. If you choose to participate, as a study participant you will join the study by means of completing an online anonymous survey which will only take from 30 to 40 minutes to complete. No personally identifiable data will be collected and your anonymity and anonymous data will be protected and securely stored on password-protected servers. You can skip any questions you don’t feel comfortable answering on the demographics, and you can withdraw from the survey at any time prior to clicking “save” at the completion of the survey.

Your participation will be complete upon finishing the online survey. We anticipate 1500 to 2000 people will likely complete the survey. There are no known risks from taking part in this study, but in any research, there is some possibility that you may be subject to risks that have not yet been identified. Although, there may be no direct benefits to you, the possible benefits of your participation in the research are to help better illuminate the potential connections between individual differences in leaders and their tendency to practice authentic leadership behaviors. This will help to shed light on the traits underlying leadership and inform leadership development efforts and programs across the country. All information obtained in this study is strictly anonymous.

No personally identifiable information will be collected from you for this study. The results of this research may be used in reports, presentations, or publications, but the researchers will not, nor will they be able to, identify you. In order to maintain anonymity and confidentiality, all data from the online survey will be stored on secure servers for which only the primary researchers have password-protected access. All data for this study will be retained for a period of three years and then completely eradicated. Participation in this study is completely voluntary. It is ok for you to say no. Because the online survey data is anonymous, it will not be possible to identify or eliminate your data from the anonymous data set once you complete the online assessment. The researchers want your decision about participating in the study to be completely voluntary. There is no payment for your participation in the study.

Any questions you have concerning the research study or your participation in the study, before or after your consent, will be answered by Andy Johnson, the primary researcher. You can reach him at (208) 590-4095 or at andy@price-associates.com. If you have questions about your rights as a subject/participant in this research, or if you feel you have been placed at risk, you can contact the Chair of the Institutional Review Board, through the College of Doctoral Studies at (602) 639-7804.
