Self Assessment - LSI

LSI-1 — Self Assessment Tools

Knowing who you are now is the first and most important step in deciding who you will be in the future. Years of research have established that the information needed to allow insight, growth and self-improvement to occur is contained within our thoughts.

Increasing Personal Understanding of Individual Thinking and Behaviour

The LSI is the first in a series of self-assessment tools specifically designed to help you answer the important question of “Who am I, and what causes me to act the way I do?”

Based on a combination of respected psychological and measurement theories, the LSI I measures the thoughts and attitudes which motivate your behaviour, how you relate to others as well as how you solve problems and make decisions.

The greatest value of LSI I lies in the fact that no other self-assessment tool actually reveals and measures the thinking and behavioural styles that help or hinder you in fulfilling your potential. You can use what you learn to initiate positive changes in how you think and act – changes that can increase your personal and professional effectiveness. And because inventory results remain confidential – for your eyes only- honesty and accuracy are greatly enhanced.
The Process

Through your responses to 240 inventory items, LSI I distinguishes and measures 12 key thinking patterns, or styles, that are either effective or ineffective.

Completing your LSI I is the first vital step in the process of changing your behaviour. The inventory has undergone years of research, and has been established as a valid, reliable way to help you take an objective look at yourself. Using the information received from the LSI Circumplex, you can increase change through:

  • Identifying the unique thinking patterns that characterize your current behaviour
  • Understanding which of your thinking patterns are effective, which aren’t and why
  • Deciding which thinking and behaviour patterns you want to change
  • Defining optimal ways of thinking and approaching your work
  • Setting targeted improvement goals
  • Formulating specific strategies to bring about change

Client Process

Each participating company will identify and forward a list of names and emails of participants who will be completing the LSI Self-Development instrument and participating in the one-on-one follow-up process.

Loyalist and our partner, Human Synergistics, will arrange to have the LSI sent to participants to be completed online within a 7-10 day time frame. Once results have been finalized, follow up days will be arranged with each separate group.

We will start off with a 1 hour small group session first to cover the essentials of LSI and feedback process followed by more in-depth 1 hour session with each individual to cover off their specific strengths as well as any stumbling blocks that may be standing in the way of using the self-development guide (maximum of 7 feedback interviews per day).

Results

LSI I provides you with the opportunity to take a close look at yourself. In a sense, it acts as a mirror, reflecting back the image you have of yourself. Sometimes this image is flattering and reassuring, sometimes surprising, and other times difficult to accept.

Whatever the results, there is no doubt that LSI I promotes lasting performance change and improvement by increasing personal understanding of your thinking and behaviour. The beauty of LSI I is that, unlike many other self-assessment tools, it provides a quantified measure for looking at strengths as well as self-defeating behaviours, so that you can further improve upon strengths and precisely target the areas in which you need to change. LSI I is part of the Life Styles System which has been successfully used by over 1,000,000 managers and 240,000 organizations in the past 20 years.

Their results have indicated that significant connections exist between individual LSI I scores and the development of

  • Leadership effectiveness
  • Increased ability to cope with pressure and change
  • Achievement of set goals
  • Flexible and creative thinking
  • Improved relationships with others
  • Greater motivation to initiate change and make things happen
