What is PrinciplesYou
PrinciplesYou is a scientifically validated tool envisioned and funded by entrepreneur investor Ray Dalio and created by world-renowned psychometricians Dr. Adam Grant, Dr. Brian Little, and Dr. John Golden. Its framework is designed to tap into character traits and measure across three orientations:
- Cognitive
- Interpersonal
- Motivational
The assessment takes less than a class period, or around 30-40 minutes to complete, and because of the stability of PrinciplesYou, students will only need to take PrinciplesYou once.
Why It's Different
PrinciplesYou brings student assessments into the 21st century because its framework is designed to tap into character traits. Older assessments tend to focus on current job interests or suitability, which can be one-dimensional when trying to make decisions about the future.
Because PrinciplesYou is designed for the modern workforce that students will be joining, results give them a better understanding of how they’ll fit in, how jobs truly match their tendencies, and how they can work with different personalities in different fields.
More Benefits of PrinciplesYou
-
PrinciplesYou underwent a rigorous process of selection, testing, retesting, and validation to ensure the assessment accurately represents and measures underlying traits and facets. They employed psychometric techniques—a century-old sub-discipline focused on quantifying psychological phenomena—to support the process
-
In addition to the main assessment, they’ve created 28 Archetypes, as users often find a character type to be an intuitive way to understand their traits
-
We’re proud to be the first college and career readiness platform to bring PrinciplesYou to schools across the country (included with Scoir at no additional cost!)
