Learn why DNA Behavior discourages retaking Natural Behavior assessments. Understand the stability of natural behaviors from an early age and our system's design, ensuring accurate, consistent results and the integrity of assessments.
Introduction
At DNA Behavior, our commitment is to provide accurate and reliable behavioral assessments that serve as valuable tools for understanding and predicting natural behaviors. This support article is designed to guide our users on the principles of our Natural Behavior assessments and clarify our policy on retakes.
Fundamentals of Natural Behavior Assessment
Our Natural Behavior assessment is anchored in the principle that an individual's core behavioral patterns are established early in life. Research suggests that these patterns, which we aim to measure, become consistent around the age of three. This fundamental understanding underpins the design and application of our assessment tools.
Policy on Assessment Retakes
Given the stable nature of these behaviors, we advise against retaking the Natural Behavior assessment. The reasoning is twofold:
-
Consistency of Behavior: Since natural behaviors are established early and remain consistent, a retake of the assessment is not only unnecessary but may also lead to confusion and misinterpretation of results.
-
System Design: To maintain the integrity and efficacy of our assessments, our system is designed to prevent retaking the assessment using the self-registration links. This feature is an integral part of our commitment to delivering precise and meaningful results.
Implications of Retaking the Assessment
In cases where a participant completes the profile for a second time, it is important to note that there may be slight variations in the results. These changes are not indicative of a shift in natural behavior but can be attributed to:
- Minor fluctuations in responses due to various factors like mood or environment at the time of taking the assessment.
- The design of our unique style allocation, which is based on Factor scores. Even small changes in these scores can lead to alterations in the identified unique style.
Conclusion
We encourage our users to rely on the initial assessment results as the most accurate reflection of an individual's natural behavior. Our team at DNA Behavior is dedicated to providing support and insights derived from these assessments, helping you harness the power of behavioral understanding in your personal and professional endeavors.
