In partnership with Witz Education in Canada, Umana Multi Rater Personality Inventory (MRPI) situational assessments gives you a holistic, 360-degree insight into your personality. Witz Education has advanced the study of structural analysis by creating a measurement tool that measures tangible attributes concerning communication styles, leadership, effective management, stress responses, assertiveness, outward and inward expression and emotional reactions.

The MRPI Assessment places high emphasis on identifying individual strengths as well as exposing potential limiting behavioural responses. It strongly reflects positive and negative values within each candidate and highlights an individual’s preferred communication style with others.

Combined with a self-esteem audit, the MRPI Assessment provides a predictive index that favourably supports hiring decisions as well as leadership and management practices. It will reveal how an individual’s personality will dictate their communication style, management style, and leadership style, as well as look at the root cause of particular patterns of behaviour.

The MRPI Assessment is designed to optimize behavioural and personal competencies in order to accelerate performance. It has been in use for more than 30 years and has been validated using results that represent multiple organizations residing in North America and elsewhere in the world.
