FOR EXECUTIVES & BUSINESS OWNERS

Know which 

strengths are actually

strengths.

Harrison Assessments' Paradox Technology reveals whether a leader's strongest traits are genuine assets — or derailers quietly waiting to surface under pressure.

175

behavioral traits measured against your specific role, not a generic profile.

12

paradoxical trait pairs analyzed to separate real strengths from derailers.

3x

more likely to succeed when someone enjoys 75%+ of their role, per Harrison's research.

THE APPROACH

One assessment. Three ways we put it to work.

A 25-minute questionnaire generates a behavioral and suitability profile deep enough to support leadership development, team dynamics, and hiring decisions — all from the same data.

Leadership Development

See which of a leader's strong traits are genuine strengths and which are unbalanced — and quietly derailing their team.

 - Individual Paradox Profile

 - Stress-behavior mapping

 - Targeted development plan

Team Development

Layer individual profiles together to learn how the team can leverage strengths and work better together — know where they reinforce each other and where they collide.

 - Team-level paradox mapping

 - Friction and blind-spot patterns

 - Create a Strengths Based Environment.

Right Person, Right Seat

Compare a candidate or employee's suitability and enjoyment prediction against the specific requirements of the seat.

 - Job-specific suitability scoring

 - Enjoyment/engagement prediction

 - Traits and Competencies that align with Job Scorecard

THE PROCESS

From questionnaire to decision

01

Complete the SmartQuestionnaire

About 25 minutes online, ranking statements rather than answering directly — built to resist guessing what "sounds right."

02

We build the Paradox Profile

The data maps 12 paradoxical trait pairs, showing which strong traits are balanced strengths and which risk becoming derailers.

03

We debrief 

together

A live session translating the report into plain language — what it means for this person, this team, or this seat.

04

You apply it

To a development plan, a team session, or a hiring decision — with a written rationale behind it.

ENGAGEMENTS

QUESTIONS

Before you book a call

1. How is this different from DISC?

DISC gives you a fast behavioral snapshot — great for communication and team-style training. Harrison goes deeper: it's job-specific, measures 175 traits instead of four styles, and uses Paradox Technology to show whether a strong trait is actually helping or quietly working against someone. Many clients use DISC as the quick entry point and Harrison for leadership development, succession, or higher-stakes hiring decisions.

2. Is this only for executives?

It's most commonly used for leadership development, succession planning, and key hires — but the same tool works for team development at any level.

3. How long does the process take?

The questionnaire itself is about 25 minutes. From there, timing depends on the engagement — an individual debrief can typically be scheduled within a couple of weeks.

4. Can this replace our hiring process?

No — it's built to strengthen your existing process. Most clients use it alongside interviews and reference checks as an objective layer that removes gut-feel bias from a final decision.

Find out which strengths are real — before they're tested under pressure.

Book a short call, and we'll scope the right starting point for you, your team, or your next key hire.
