Birkman received his Ph.D. in psychology in 1961 from the University of Texas at Austin.He was the founder and chairman of the board of Birkman International, Inc. Table 2
It also is predictive of likelihood of promotion demonstrating it is effective as a development or coaching tool.
Across all test areas of the Birkman scales, the results indicated ongoing scientific validity and reliability. As situations around us change they call on different behavioral approaches. One of the defining features of Birkman, called Needs, reports the unique expectations and preferences we each have. The Birkman Information Technology group continues the mission of professional quality and excellence through new technology to deliver services and reporting faster and more efficiently across the world.The results in your preview report are created from your responses to The Birkman Method® Questionnaire.
All reports and scales developed by Birkman are rigorously tested across large samples to confirm their reliability and validity.

Lewin states that B = ƒ(P, E) or, in other words, “Behavior is a function of the Person and his/her interaction with their Environment.” The test assesses your personality across broad categories, as follows.
Much time, effort, and resources go in to making sure the assessments from Birkman are reliable and valid and the technology that delivers them is fast, secure and accessible 24×7.Beginning as a paper and pencil “Test of Social Comprehension”, The Birkman Method was first computerized in the mid-1960s on an IBM 1401. 0000001545 00000 n
