The Winslow Behavioral Assessment System
Assessment Profiles
Winslow Dynamics Profile
Winslow Discovery Profile
This assessment program measures 16 of the 24 Winslow Personality Characteristics. This user-friendly program was created and validated for hourly employees in organizations. It can assist in hiring the best available applicant for many hourly positions lower on your organizational chart. It is also utilized as a development program to enhance the performance of hourly employees when cost and/or time are considerations. The assessment time is approximately forty-five minutes, and results are immediately available on the Internet. This Profile can be used for other applications in your organization, Personal Coaching and individual self-improvement.
Winslow Success Profile
This economical assessment is a derivation of our Athletic Success Profile, and measures the eleven personality characteristics fundamental to success in entry level and minimum hourly positions. This Profile assesses 11 of the Winslow Traits, as they relate to success in unskilled jobs and personal life styles. This program is a "short version" of our comprehensive Dynamics Profile that measures all 24 Winslow Traits. The assessment time is less than 30 minutes and the primary applications for this product are selection and development of minimum hourly workers. It can also be utilized as an economic basic program for developing this level of employees.
Individual Self-improvement Profile & Report
Individuals may purchase any of the three Winslow Standard Profiles for self-improvement. They are stand-alone products or may be included as a value-added component of other development programs and/or products. For example, one Profile is an optional component in Dr. Denis Waitley's "New Dynamics of Winning" audiocassette tape program, and another is a mandatory component of his "Dynamics of Winning Personal Coaching Program".
Personal Success Survey
This self-scoring, disposable paper & pencil, personality profile is utilized by our consultants, trainers and clients to introduce individuals to the assessment process. It takes approximately fifteen minutes to complete and score, and provides immediate feedback on three of the personality traits related to success in most positions and careers: "Ambition," "Self-confidence," and "Tough-mindedness." The primary application for this product is to demonstrate the accuracy and value of assessments. It is also used to enhance presentations made by public speakers.

Does Your Company Need
Assessments?
Ask yourself the following six questions.
If you find yourself responding affirmatively to any of them,
give Solutions 5 Consulting a call.
1. Do you want to reduce turnover and employee retention costs?
Studies show the average company spends $14,000 per new employee on inefficient hiring, processing and training. We can help a small company with 100 employees and 18% turnover save an average of $252,000 per year! With the Winslow Reports, you can minimize hiring guesswork and risk and feel more confident about your employee choices.
2. Do you want to minimize your legal exposure?
Of all companies who downsized in the 1990’s, 50% were sued for wrongful termination. Settlements ranged from $10,000 to $100,000. (Robert Half Intl.) Adding the Winslow Reports to your hiring decisions can help you avoid lawsuits from unhappy, mis-hired, or misplaced people.
3. Do you have too many employees who turn out to be different than their resume led you to believe?
The Winslow Reports are more impartial than resumes, more revealing than interviews, more reliable than references. The U.S. Department of Labor reveals that 90% of all resumes contain falsehoods. The Winslow Reports offer you an objective way to cut through subjective hiring data.
4. Do you have any salesmen who can’t sell - or managers who can’t manage?
Only the Winslow Reports allow you to compare the results of each of your current or prospective employees with the data from hundreds of thousands of other subjects and against specifically benchmarked career classifications. You’ll know instantly if that salesperson with the great resume is going to sell for you.
5. Do you require one powerful solution that serves many employee decisions?
Use one tool to assess, screen, select, hire, train, manage and develop. Use the same Winslow results for performance reviews, promotions, restructuring, downsizing, or mergers. Can that successful technician become a successful manager? Only Winslow removes the guesswork.
6. Do you have employees falsifying information – even on your current assessment?
The Winslow Reports remains the first and only assessment system that includes controls to detect those applicants who intentionally falsify or unintentionally exaggerate their test responses to impress you. Why use data you can’t count on? Winslow delivers.
