Product Description

Unlike tests of ability (measuring what people can do) or personality (measuring what they believe and value, or how they behave), the DASA measures how people actively manage themselves and make their own choices.

The DASA...

• assumes that critical psychological processes, including decision-making and impulse control, are habit-based and can be deliberately controlled.
• provides tailored feedback and developmental advice on decision-making style and competence, as well as regulatory focus and mental resources.
• can be used in selection, development and coaching.

Qualification level required:
