Signs? What Should They Be Thinking About? What Do They Need to

Topic 2: Other Additional Questions to
Ask
- Look for the science first, then if the science is there, look
for the validity and reliability studies.
- Validity vs. reliability: Is it valid science? And then is it
reliable science?
- Are you an organization that is multilingual? Do you operate in
multiple countries? If yes, is the assessment in which you're
deploying, is it not only valid and reliable, but are those
validity studies and reliability studies done in each translated
language?
- What are the norms?
- Is there scientific evidence that the assessment is not
discriminatory?

Topic 4: How Important is it to Have a Reliable Way to
Reveal the Potential of an Individual Before You Hire
Them?
- It is definitely important, you want to know a new hire’s
potential and where they match or don't match.
- It allows you to look under the covers and give additional
insight to employers and interviewers so that they can see whether
they fit or don't fit.

Topic 5: Good Valid Assessments are About the
Business of Unmasking
- Assessments are unmasking for the interviewer, they can see the
words that reveal the true potential of a candidate.
- Assessments help the interviewer not fall in the trap of bias,
because that is one of the biggest interview mistakes.
- A good assessment that is reliable and valid is not only good
for revealing, but it has to also be good in the business of
releasing.
- A candidate releases their full talent set so that the
organization can reach its full potential.
- We have an organization that starts seeing it’s true potential
where people enjoy working there. It's got a culture. There's
nothing that will release the potential of a human being than
feeling like they fit.
- Release that candidate/new hire in the organization to
contribute their talents and their strengths and their abilities,
then you will realize a return on your investment.

Topic 6: Getting to Know Rodney Cox
- Who has influenced you the most and what did they say or share
that was really helpful to you: Bruce Mazur, introduction to the
assessment, Bill Bonnstetter, invitation to be a VAA, and Don
Blanton, taught how to unconditionally accept and love people.
- Books, education or training that have been very instrumental
to your growth and development: All different sciences that have to
do with the make up of a human being, a science called Talent
Insights.
- When you think of the word successful, who is the first person
that comes to mind: I think it is anyone that leaps out of bed
every day eager to contribute or give away what they've got, give
away their natural strengths and talents to the person who writes
their check.
- What is silent demand?
- Speaking of waking up eager, what are the things that you do
regularly: Mind - I understand my strengths, understand my
weaknesses, I'm a student of myself; Body – Mountain biking; Spirit
– Couples that we do life with.
- What is relational capital?
- Lean in, humble yourself, go have a conversation and do
something different tomorrow than you did today.
- What is your favorite possession: My faith and my family.
- A funny story that your family tells you about you: Mountain
biking accidents.
- What advice would you give your 25-year-old self: First seek to
understand yourself before you try and get others to understand
you; Lean into conflict instead of leaning out of conflict; Seeing
others higher than yourself always.
- The last bit of advice or wisdom you want people to take away
from our discussion: It will be very, very difficult for you to
even participate in the war for talent without good, reliable,
valid assessments. You're not even participating in the war for
talent if you don't have reliable and valid assessments that you're
deploying to reveal, release, and then realize the human potential;
You should become a student and master any assessment or any
measurement that you're going to use inside of your organization to
help people thrive.
