Question 4

What is organizational psychology?

Accepted Answer

In the modern world, success of organizations is often driven by their employees, teams, and leadership. Understanding how human behaviours affect the workplace to increase workplace productivity is the main objective of organizational psychology. Organizational psychology, also known as industrial and organization (I/O) psychology, is the scientific study of human behaviour in the workplace. Common themes in this field are interpersonal relationships at work, the role of individual differences as they influence organizations, group and team dynamics, leadership, organizational development and change.

Question 5

psycho/metrics
 
psycho = psychology
metrics = measure
 
Psychometrics is the science of measuring mental capacities and processes.

Question 6

What psychometric tools do you use?

Accepted Answer

Several. (Level B as per British Psychological Society, and level C with Psychometrics Canada and Multi-Health System). Very few coaches have these qualifications.
Our main ones are:
Psychometrics 360
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
EQ-i 2.0 (emotional intelligence)
Fundamental interpersonal relations orientation (FIRO-Business)
Thomas Kilmann Instrument (conflict mode)

Question 7

Are there any free tools I could use, and figure it out on my own?"

Accepted Answer

Yes, probably. At Momenta Consultation, we only use official and validated psychometric tools via Psychometrics Canada and Multi-Health System. We also take copyrights very seriously.
Remember, you get what you pay for. Often, these free or lower priced tools have too many errors that can be very misleading and be subjected to the Barnum-Effect (horoscope-type effect!).

Question 8

Can I just pay to get my psychometric report and not have the debrief session?

Accepted Answer

No, not with us. In line with the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) Code of Conduct and Society of Industrial and Organisational Psychology (SIOP) Testing Standards, we do not provide an assessment without a debrief session. 
 
Furthermore, our practice focuses on "quality" rather than "quantity". As such, you will notice that any of our coaching programs have a minimum of three sessions. We want you to get results and succeed.

Question 9

What is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator assessment?

Accepted Answer

Helping an individual understand their personality type is the first step to personal and professional growth. The MBTI tool, with its Jungian foundation, is based on the premise that we all have unique gifts to offer and challenges to overcome. The MBTI® assessment helps individuals understand their strengths, their preferred working styles, and ultimately helps them see their potential. Used individually to provide self-awareness and clarity of purpose, the MBTI assessment also helps create a better understanding and appreciation between team members and colleagues – enabling them to work better together.

Question 10

What is a 360 feedback?

It is an assessment that provides straightforward and intuitive multi-source feedback (direct reports, peers, bosses, clients) to help leaders quickly identify their strengths and developmental needs. The clarity of the Psychometrics 360 degree feedback report helps leaders easily recognize key themes in the responses from others and take actionable steps

What is a consultation?

Accepted Answer

In a consultation, we work with the leader to analyze their current situation, establish a game plan for change, and facilitate the process of discovery and implementation.

Question 13

What is leadership coaching?

Accepted Answer

Leadership coaching is a process that is delivered in a one-on-one setting with the leader. The coach helps the leader to understand personal style and behaviours, to establish professional goals and objectives as well as development plans for success. At Momenta Consultation, we use validated psychometric tools to help guide us in order to enhance the leader’s performance and development.

Question 14

What is the difference between consultation and coaching?

Accepted Answer

While we use evidence-based approaches during a consultation, we would not use psychometric tools.
 
Executive Coaching is a more intense and structured process. It is an inquiry-based approach to personal and professional development that is aimed at creating awareness, generating action, and facilitating learning and growth. It focuses on improving performance by helping individuals to develop and sustain new perspectives, attitudes, skills and behaviours (Stanford University, 2019).
