Our Differentiation

What makes the Harrison System Unique in Optimizing your Organization's People Investments?

  • The huge majority of assessments are personality typing tools and put people in 8, 16 or 24 categories and then make assumptions as to what is the ideal category out of these 8, 16 or 20 where a high performer may be- this has some relevance but isn't accurate since there are over 100 traits that make  a difference and humans aren't that easily categorized.
  • We have a unique system taking advantage of digital technology...
  • We are the ONLY assessment that was designed to predict human performance that is for making the selection decision i.e. hiring, promotions, teams, projects..,
  •  The only one that measures over 170 traits incorporating 7 assessment type into 1
  • The only one that has several thousand SPECIFIC researched job profiles with validated profiles on essential, desirable and hindrance/negative traits
  • The only one used by leading companies like Boeing,  Mastercard, Travelers, Costco, Krogers, members of the INC5000 and  start-ups
  • One of the few that accurately detects deception with 4 levels of analysis.
  • We are the only one that will give you a roadmap for managing your people more effectively based on validated research
  • One of a very few that measures magnitude and extremes - this is key in determining day to day performance
  • The only one that measures the core elements of culture that can be done in less than a couple hours (actually 20 minutes).
  • Now using our digital technology, if you have over 25 people in the same job for over a year and a good performance evaluation system, we can create job-specific competency models for a fraction of the cost of what anyone else can do.
  •  The only one that uses paradox theory allowing us to collect the equivalent of over 2900 answers which takes on average over 10 hours of testing;  we collect it in an average of 20 minutes.
