5 Axes of PDA

PDA is based on a five-axis model measuring the following dimensions and their respective intensities:

  1. Orientation to results
  2. Orientation to people
  3. Orientation to details
  4. Conformity to rules
  5. Emotional Self-Control

 

The differentiation of PDA from other respective tools is the impression of high value’s information for interpretation, such as:

  • Axis Intensity: Measures the intensity of each of the Behavioral Tendencies
  • Profile Intensity: Measures how faithful is the person evaluated to their behavioral style. It helps to know the level of flexibility / rigidity of the person evaluated.
  • Energy Level: Energy Quantum available by the person evaluated. It helps to know the level of Motivation and Stress
  • Consistency Indicator: Measures the level of consistency and quality of the information
  • Axis of Self-Control: The 5th Axis, which measures an individual’s ability to control their impulses and emotions, is strongly related to “Emotional Intelligence”.

 

The innovation of PDA lies in the development of ‘’Self-Control’’ parameter, adding substantially the ‘’Emotional Intelligence’’ in 4 classic axes so far that are taken into consideration by the respective psychometrical tools, for the creation of Personal Behavioral Profiles.
