Description¶

Two established behavioral self-assessments are implemented in the course to grow students' understanding of their own and classmates' working strengths. The article states that strategies for growth in understanding personal working strengths "include the implementation of two established behavioral self-assessments": the DISC Personality Assessment, which offers a common language and insights into four major personality types, and StrengthsFinder 2.0, which gives each student their top five strengths. Students unanimously agreed to share results with the whole class, which the authors report made teammates' positive attributes visible and buffered minor frustrations.
