Industry Questions and Answers

1. Assessment Platform Type

   • Are you specifically seeking a commercial off-the-shelf solution such as TTI Success Insights®, DISC, MBTI, or similar behavioral/cognitive assessments, or are you open to other validated assessment platforms? 

WRNMMC is open to validated commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions comparable to Predictive Index, TTI Success Insights®, DISC, or MBTI.

• • Do you require a platform that includes both behavioral (e.g., DISC, EQ) and cognitive (e.g., aptitude, problem-solving) assessments, or primarily one type?  

The platform should ideally include both behavioral (personality, emotional intelligence, team style) and cognitive (aptitude, problem-solving, learning agility) assessment capabilities.

1. Certification & Administration

   • Many behavioral assessments (such as DISC or MBTI) require certified practitioners for administration and debriefing. Do you intend for WRNMMC personnel to obtain certification to self-administer and interpret results, or do you anticipate contractor support for facilitation and interpretation?

Approximately 3–5 WRNMMC personnel, trained under the accrediting standards of the chosen platform.

1. Licensing & Usage
