 What is Kolbe?

K olbe Indexes empower individuals to work according to their natural

instincts and advance a firm’s agenda by ...

• Taking inventory of individual talents

• Improving job performance
• Pinpointing sources of conflict
• Predicting the outcome of “what-if” scenarios
• Providing clear, bottom–line findings as well as detailed analyses
• Offering detailed prescriptive advice for leaders

Unlike personality tests, which tell you what’s wrong with you and how to
change it, Kolbe tells you what’s right with you and how to make the most of
it.

Kolbe Action Modes

Fact Finder - the instinctive way we gather and share information.

Follow Thru - the instinctive way we arrange and design.
Quick Start - the instinctive way we deal with risk and uncertainty.

 Kolbe Index Types
Instinctive behavioral patterns govern the actions, reactions and interactions of each individual.
They also determine how an individual will use his or her time and communicate. Understanding
and exercising control over these instincts offers one the freedom to be functionally authentic in
his or her job role.

It is difficult to locate good candidates, and the hiring process requires a significant investment.
Discovering later that a new hire doesn’t fit and must be let go wastes time, money and resources.
The Kolbe hiring process has an 82% success rate in getting the right person for the right job. The
Kolbe system offers several indices from which a firm can choose to implement depending on de-
sired results. Descriptions of these are below.

The Kolbe A Index

The Kolbe A Index measures a person’s instinctive method of operation (MO), and identifies the
ways he or she will be most productive. It need only be taken once, since these innate abilities do
not change over time.

The Kolbe B Index

The Kolbe B Index measures an individual’s expectations of how he or she should perform in a
current job. Comparing a Kolbe B Index result with an A Index result yields insights into how to
leverage instinctive talents at work.

The Kolbe C Index

The Kolbe C Index measure the necessary characteristics for a job candidate to be successful in a
specific job role. It gathers this information by assessing your team member’s opinion about what
actions anyone hire for this role will be reward.

This tool will change your firm’s culture. It’s not just a feel-good test that sits in a drawer, never
to be used for anything purposeful. Rather, it acts to shape your team into a productive power-
house!

Brad Kool, Assistant Firm Administrator at Contryman

The Kolbe Index provides exceptional information to our team members and the firm. The feedback
that Sandra and her staff provide us is exceptional. The Kolbe Indexes are explained in depth to all
team members that participate in the index. Sandra does a great job at setting up the meetings and
reviewing all the information in a timely manner.

Lizzie Rahm, PHR, Human Resources Generalist at Clark

Nuber
The Kolbe Assessment has been extremely beneficial to our hiring process. The results of the assessments
have accurately predicted the working style of our hired candidates and we use the assessment as an ad-
ditional valuable tool in the hiring of all of our administrative staff.

Bob Spring, Human Resources Director at Horne LLP

We have used Kolbe for several years and have found that it has played a critical role in verifying
the”right-fit” of candidates for our firm. We have used other tools in the past, and the results have not
provided us with the consistent candidate information we need to make the best decisions. Using Kolbe
allows us to match our candidates with the profile based credentials created through management
input. We love Kolbe!

Larry Cumpston, Managing Partner at Lawrence

Cumpston & Associates
Kolbe is an important part of communication in our office. We initially asked Sandra Wiley to come
for a one day training session, but we continue to use it for new hires and each day as we interact. The
Kolbe is not the only decision factor in hiring, but we consider it extremely important. Before we accept
any new hires, they take the Kolbe exam. We can then see how they fit with our other employees.
