THE BIRKMAN METHOD

Empowering People and Performance

“The reality of life is that your perceptions – right or wrong – influence everything else you do.

When you get a proper perspective of your perceptions, you may be surprised how many other things fall into place.”

- Roger W. Birkman, Ph.D. Founder 

Since 1951, Birkman has helped people and organizations improve performance through our extensive behavioral and occupational assessment – The Birkman Method. 

The Birkman is a positive psychology instrument developed by Dr. Roger Birkman more than 70 years ago. He took a radically different approach by focusing on the different ways that people are effective in their jobs. By measuring these styles and differences, powerful conversations can result from the realization that how we perceive differences with others drives our choice to view others as competing with us or as complementing our own style. To accomplish this, The Birkman Method reports on two measures of observable behavior and two measures of personal motivation. This approach provides you with confirmation of who you are, and it almost always provides insights that you might not have thought about before. 

The Birkman Method assesses motivation and perception to help individuals understand how their unique mindset impacts relationships, performance, and attitude. One of the most powerful uses of Birkman is for personal development. The signature reports help you achieve a better understanding of how you act and react in certain situations, and when used with teams, this can help team members see how they can best work together. The same approach applies to all personal relationships whether in the personal or work environment. The Birkman Method is a favorite assessment of experienced executive coaches, organizational and HR professionals, mentors, and counselors because it paints a comprehensive picture of an individual’s personality and motivations.
