EQ-i 2.0 and Maxwell Method DISC, the two assessments that anchor every Thurman Group Global program.
Two of the most validated tools in the field, debriefed one-on-one with a certified consultant. Designed for the person who has read Persist, the parent of a student in transition, the leader looking to know their team, or anyone ready to see themselves clearly.
A scientifically validated, fifteen-subscale measurement of emotional intelligence developed over thirty years of research by Dr. Reuven Bar-On. Used by Fortune 500 companies, the United States military, and academic institutions worldwide. TGG uses EQ-i 2.0 with college students, healthcare leaders, K-12 educators, and ministry teams.
The Maxwell Method DISC profile is the application-driven version of the DISC framework, developed and licensed by the John Maxwell organization. It moves past description into communication strategy, team interaction, leadership style, and conflict resolution. Dr. Thurman, OTD is a certified Maxwell Method DISC Consultant and Trainer.
The most comprehensive emotional intelligence assessment ever developed. Each composite anchors three subscales, giving you a complete map of how you understand yourself, manage yourself, and connect with others.
DISC describes four primary styles of how a person prefers to communicate, lead, follow, and process information. Most people are a blend of two styles, with a primary and secondary trait. The Maxwell Method puts the data to work in real conversations and real teams.
Direct, results-oriented, decisive. Drives outcomes. Comfortable with conflict.
Energetic, persuasive, optimistic. Inspires others. Thrives on relationships.
Loyal, patient, supportive. Excellent listener. Values harmony and consistency.
Precise, analytical, systematic. Values accuracy. Trusts data and process.
Both assessments serve different purposes. The right starting point depends on what you are trying to learn about yourself, your child, or your team.
Each of these audiences uses one or both of these assessments inside an existing Thurman Group Global program. Find the use case closest to your situation.
