Stringent Research, Validity, and Reliability

The Nielson Group guarantees the highest standards of scientific rigor. TTI Success Insights features a dedicated research team headed by a neuroscientist and staffed with PhDs in mathematics and psychology. Setting themselves apart in the assessment industry, their research incorporates direct Electroencephalogram (EEG) brain imaging technology to measure respondents' actual brain activity while interacting with test content. This direct observation proves the innate neurological connection between the assessment process and the human response.

Furthermore, the reliability of these tools is continuously verified through independent, third-party studies. Using Cronbach's alpha—the leading statistical test for calculating reliability—TTI's assessments consistently score well above the scientific minimum of.70 for validity (for example, the DISC factors score between.84 and.89). Because of this uncompromising dedication to data integrity, the TTI Success Insights benchmarking system is completely bias-free, fully compliant with EEOC and OFCCP requirements, and has never been successfully challenged in court regarding a Disparate Impact claim.
