What is the Birkman Mindset Report?

The Birkman Mindset report is an additional report format, featuring new scales, that is not included in the Birkman Signature Suite. It is a highly advanced report that is recommended for experienced Birkman Certified Professionals (BCPs).

Unlike reports included in the Signature Suite which focus on Interests, Usual Behavior, Needs, and Stress Behavior, the Birkman Mindset report takes the analysis one step further to analyze behavioral patterns and attitudes towards oneself, others, and the world.

"Through awareness of your behaviors, you can understand how you approach tasks and manage relationships.  It's only when you uncover your Mindset that you find out why.  Your Mindset report reveals the Birkman Perspectives that drive the"why" of your life." (excerpt from Birkman Mindset report)

Data for the Birkman Mindset report is gathered from The Birkman Method questionnaire. The scales are based on social desirability as well as the dynamic between self-perception and social-perception.

The Birkman Mindset report is best used for executive and high-potential coaching after in-depth conversations of the Birkman Signature Report/behavioral Components have already occurred.

These concepts are covered on the Birkman Mindset report:

• Distinctiveness
• Alignment
• Image Management
• Social Acuity
• Self-Affirming
• Others-Affirming
