Report Components
Behaviors (DISC)
The Indigo Assessment measures behaviors according to the DISC system, a tool that divides behavior into four basic styles: Dominance, Influencing, Steadiness and Compliance. DISC scores indicate natural responses to everyday circumstances.
Motivators
The assessment measures six Motivators as described in the work of Spranger and Allport in their study of human value, motivation and drive. Motivators describe why people do things: the internal desires that drives behaviors.
Skills
Through use of a Likert-Scale questionnaire, the Indigo Assessment measures 23 non-academic competencies relevant to workplace success. This list includes key personal and inter-personal skills. The top five skills point toward areas of talent that may or may not already be known.
Social Emotional Perceptions
Using the Nobel-Prize nominated Hartman Value Profile, Indigo provides a window into how each student perceives their external and internal worlds. Many high schools use this survey as a Tier 1 MTSS Universal Screener to identify students who would not typically be noticed for needing extra support. In higher ed the SEL component provides critical data for advisors to better meet the needs of each student and contribute to retention factors.
