Brain Talent Profile (BTP)

What does it do?

BTP provides feedback on your strongest “talents for the future” – key competencies needed to innovate, achieve, and thrive. These capabilities are feuled by emotional intelligence. Through extensive research, Six Seconds distilled key behaviours from open-text comments about real leaders today, and linked them to emotional intelligence competencies. In a sense, it distills a decade of experience with emotional intelligence into 18 simple concepts.

What doesn’t it do? 

The BTP does not tell you how strong your stengths are, not does it tell you about weaknesses. It is not a full picture of your emotional intelligence. But from the same assessment, you can draw your full, indepth SEI® report (Emotional Intelligence Assessment).

When to use it?

The BTP is a powerfully simple tool that links emotional intelligence to real-world performance. Using simple language,the BTP showspeople key talents that they will easilyunderstandand want to apply.

Typical Uses:

Training: Introducing people to the leadership competencies required and how these 18 Apps are linked to emotional intelligence competencies.

Team development: What are the talents that we need in our team? What are the talents that we have and that we are under-utilising? Are there talents we need to download and run, given our currrent and future business needs?

Workforce Design: What talents do you have, what talents do you need?

Strength-based Coaching:  If you want to make a change, what are your strenths. Which of the 18 Apps identified for future fit leaders are you using?

Employee Branding: Help prospective candidates understand your organisation is committed to EQ and the people-side by having every candidatetake the BTP and discuss it.

Company Culture: Show commitment to developing EQ and using the BTP language to embed the leadership competencies.

How was it developed?

Starting with database of over 60,000 emotional intelligence assessments from around the globe, Six Seconds looked at the results to derive the model of the six ‘clusters’ in Focus, Decision & Drive. This included analysing feedback comments from 500 leaders who earned high performance scores; identifying key outcomes for change and linking them to the model; gaining insights from a panel of 20 experts on change, in business and education and finally testing a pilot version with hundreds of professionals.
