Brooks Talent Index Assessments: Administration & Tools

Brooks Talent Index Assessments are a valuable tool you can use for screening, selecting and coaching recruiting and retention personnel. Unlike many assessments that measure only behavior, Brooks Talent Index measures three dimensions.

Values

What motivates different people? To be successful and energized on the job, it’s important for employees to have their underlying values satisfied through the nature of their work. When they are, people are personally rewarded by their actions.

Attitudes

The assessment measures key personal skills and ranks them from top to bottom defining each person’s major strengths. The skills at the top highlight well-developed capabilities and reveal where they are naturally most effective in focusing their time.

Behaviors

This section measures natural behavior traits. When the job requires the use of an employee’s top behavioral traits the potential for success, along with personal and professional satisfaction, increase.

After a Brooks Talent Index Assessment is completed, two reports are immediately generated and copies of each are electronically sent to the Air Force Reserve Command.

  • Talent Report: Contains numerical measurements of a person’s Values, Attitudes and Behaviors
  • Coaching Report – Sales Version: Contains numerical measurements and verbal descriptions of the assessment results
If the person taking the assessment is also in a management/supervisory position, you may request a Coaching Report – Executive Version. The primary difference between the Sales and Executive Versions is the Sales Version describes how a person sells, while the Executive Version focuses on how a person manages other people.

Military Recruiting Skills Index (MRSI)

AFR Recruiting personnel also have access to this 54-question instrument that measures a person’s knowledge of selling in a military recruiting environment. It’s an excellent tool for measuring a candidate’s baseline knowledge, or it can also be used with an experienced team member to help pinpoint which step(s) of the IMPACT sales model where they have their greatest knowledge strengths and challenges. The MRSI can be completed at the same time a person takes the Brooks Talent Index Assessment or it can be completed separately.
