In the Human Resources area, ADEP method will help you identify the right person for the position you have, according to their behavior. It can also be a support for decision-making at the time of an interview, by elaborating questions in order to explore the behavior of personnel and its fitness for a particular role. It will be useful when you want to make an internal change of personnel and identify who is qualified to be part of a team when required.

To perform ADEP Test will be of great benefit to you, you can understand the work environments that feel more or less comfortable in accordance with your personality, evidence how your predominant characteristics can be both strengths and weaknesses, learn strategies to comprehend, influence and interact with others, understand what motivates you in relationships and maximize these incentives.

It is a tool used to find and classify the behavioral characteristics. It is always directed in two directions: to the personal area and work environment.

The method represents four ADEP behavioral styles:

Allows to discover the strengths and opportunities that are unique to each individual, so the result can be used to be shared with others and that they can figure out how to interact with their environment and improve relationships; you will also feedback getting to know others.

When performing this test, you can learn about: how much potential you have for leadership, sense of responsibility, type of reaction under pressure, self-control, which tasks you prefer and which do not, positive or negative spirit, tendency to persuasion, and attachment to the rules, among others.

This model is originated in the knowledge of William Moulton Marston (1893-1947) from Harvard University. His plan was the development of a unit of measurement for the normal individual mental energy, that is, how to understand the behavior of a normal human (outside the clinical setting) and also demonstrate their views about human motivation. His method was to address this mental energy in four directions: Domain, Influence, Submission and Compliance to Standards.

In 1928 he published the book "Emotions of Normal People" where formally presented Theory and in 1931 published his second book about the theory titled "Integrative Psychology."

Marston's model is an extension of the teachings of Hippocrates (460-370 BC) who distinguished four behavioral styles in humans: choleric, sanguine, phlegmatic and melancholic.

Marston gave the first evaluation guidelines into his written theories in his books "Emotions of Normal People" (1929) and " Integrative Psychology "(1931), but the first one to introduce the first assessment tool was Walter V. Clark, which he called AVA (Activity Vector Analysis) focused on the advantages and benefits that this methodology provided both in the military and in the workplace.

Clark test was successful, but it was a bit complex since the work was done by hand and the operative-mathematical process took too long to complete. Whereby the Dr. John Greier at the end of 60's made several modifications in order to simplify this process. Dr. Greier studies resulted in the now known as the ADEP method.

The starting point is the questions that will be asked and that you will answer according to your personal criteria. Later you will receive a report or outcome of the assessment. This report contains two graphs along with their descriptions.

Graph I: Perception of yourself of what you really are or natural pattern style.
Are those behaviors that you have when you are in stressful or frustrating situations.

Graph II: Adaptation style pattern.
Represents the self-perception of trends in behavior that you think you should use either in the workplace, in society or family. And it can change in different environments.

The report will help you understand predominant style traits that arise from the combination of the differences between the graphs I and II. When the graphs I and II are similar, it means that you feel comfortable, but if your style of adaptation (Graph II) is different from your Natural style (Graph I), this can cause stress, if is done over a long period and can be deduced that makes use of behaviors that are not as comfortable or natural for you.
