Meridiem Purchases NSight Success Assessment From Executive Coach Penny Reynolds
(PRWEB) October 17, 2019 -- Meridiem, a Cincinnati-based startup that provides assessments, services, and online tools for coaches, consultants, and HR professionals has purchased the NSight Success assessment from Executive Coach Penny Reynolds. Ms. Reynolds commissioned the development of the NSight and used it as the primary tool in her highly successful 30-year consulting career. Meridiem will exclusively publish the NSight assessment as a key part of their start-up strategy, and Ms. Reynolds will maintain an advisory role.
According to Mr. Delmar Davis, President and Co-Founder at Meridiem, “Ms. Reynolds found that no single talent management assessment provided a truly well-rounded picture of a person's skills and temperament. This led her to develop the NSight Success—a single tool that targets both aptitude and personality success factors including verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning, vocabulary, scanning accuracy, decision-making style, drives, stressors, communication style, leadership style, commitment, and reliability.”
Meridiem’s CEO and Co-Founder Mr. Michael Sheehan added, “NSight Success is a validated, business-oriented tool that measures work-related and interpersonal characteristics. However, it was used exclusively by Ms. Reynolds and was never published or distributed. The NSight is perhaps one of the best-kept secrets in the world of talent assessment tools.”
“For a test that has been relatively unknown, I am impressed with the evidence of reliability and validity of the NSight,” noted Dr. Mark S. Nagy, Meridiem’s Chief Research Officer. “Further, the NSIght's diverse range of tests allows test administrators a sort of 'one-stop shopping experience' to assess numerous personality characteristics and abilities all within one instrument.”
Meridiem has updated the NSight Success assessment's infrastructure and user interface and has created a certification model for domestic and international licensing and distribution. A successful pilot program is concluding, and the company will begin opening certifications to qualified coaches in the Fall of 2019.
