“Trusted partners in proving the impact of executive leadership development.”
Johns Hopkins University has used The PROFILOR® 360 for several years, and partnering with Terri and her team has been genuinely rewarding. As a behavioral scientist, I especially value the methodological rigor of the instrument and the competencies it measures. What I appreciate most about the team is their openness to adapt to our realities and objectives. Equally valuable is their ongoing administrative support as we run assessments across a highly matrixed, widely dispersed organization. Terri and Assessments International are among the most trusted partners I have had the pleasure of working with, and I recommend them without hesitation.

“Easy to administer and configure.”
With many service providers, it can be a hassle to schedule and administer 360s. Assessments International makes it easy with their PROFILOR® report, and their incredibly responsive humans (vs. chatbot or AI assistants) who ensure you get any questions answered rapidly. My business stakeholders like the simplicity of the benchmark wheels, and as the administrator, I appreciate the ease of configuring the launch.

“Coaching + action planning delivered real results.”
Working with Assessments International on Casella’s Executive 360s was a highly beneficial experience for our organization. Receiving coaching, based on key feedback, gave our highest leaders the space to be proactive with opportunities that they may not have been privy to previously. Casella’s BOD was thrilled with the results of the action planning that came from the program and it has been very rewarding for our HR department to assist in providing it! The ladies and gentlemen at AI have been wonderfully supportive and attentive through every step of the process.
