Executive Assessment Processes

Mary Rees, founder of Conscious Dynamics, is an Associate Member of the American Psychological Association and honors their rigorous guidelines; however, she is not a psychologist or therapist, does not work with psychological issues, administer psychological assessments, or identify psychological disorders. The assessment processes are non-clinical, designed to provide information presented in a way that is validating and personally enriching (rather than diagnostic and/or prescriptive).

• The most important parts of your assessment are your descriptions of your needs, goals, and interests. We do not assume results are valid unless you corroborate their suggested results.


• The Birkman® Method is our primary assessment tool. This is a measuring device that has been used for over 50 years by Fortune 500 companies to develop executive talent and other high potential employees. It is administered online and takes about 40 minutes to complete.


• Measures of Character Strength and Self-Compassion, also online, are sometimes included. These are available to us now due to the relatively new science of Positive Psychology.

Assessments are available as part of corporate packages, but you can also request an assessment and/or initiate a coaching relationship through this link.
