Overview
The Core Drivers and Core Values assessments provide insights into your personality traits, motivations, and behavioral tendencies. Results are grounded in psychological theory and combine self-perception with normed scores, giving you a balanced view of both identity (how you see yourself) and reputation (how others may see you).
Identity vs. reputation
Identity: Your self-concept — the values, motivations, and goals you believe define you.
Reputation: How others perceive your traits and behaviors, often in work or social contexts.
The assessments primarily measure identity through self-reported drivers of behavior. However, because identity influences reputation, results also give cues about how your traits may be expressed in ways that others experience.
Bridging identity and reputation
To reduce discrepancies between self-reported identity and external reputation (e.g., from multi-rater feedback), results are presented in percentiles.
Percentiles compare your scores to a global database of respondents, showing where you stand relative to others. This helps translate self-perception into how traits are likely to be observed by colleagues, peers, or managers.
Example
If you report low scores in Extraversion, your percentile score may also be low.
This suggests that, compared to the general population, others may perceive you as reserved, even if you personally feel outgoing.
Key takeaway
The Core Drivers and Core Values assessments are primarily rooted in identity, but by framing your results in percentiles, they also provide a window into your reputation — helping you understand not only who you are, but how you may be seen.
