Description and Benefits
Two assessment experts, Magda du Preez and Stella Kaplow Lee, Ph.D., will set the context for our topic by providing a brief overview of the types of assessment instruments that are available and their appropriate use.

What you will learn:
	Exploring the DISC, the MBTI and The Wheel from the perspective of the client
	The unique and similar characteristics of each tool
	Specific criteria practitioners use to select a tool that will most effectively meet a client's needs
	An approach to team building that uses The Wheel, an MBTI-based team building instrument
