Posted by In the previous post, we described how to explore your competencies using behavioral descriptions. If you are a scientist, work in a scientific project or are employed as a research and teaching or research employee at a university, you can do this very quickly and it will only take you 20 minutes.
If you haven’t already done so, click CHECK YOUR COMPETENCIES on the screen at the top right.
If you’ve already completed our behavioral tests and have your diagnosis, you’ve received two codes. The first one allows you to take a second look at your diagnosis based on a competency benchmark we created with experts from the Interdisciplinary Centre for Staff Development staff and outside experts. We tested it on a selected group of employees and verified it for content. In total, almost 300 academics from 10 research universities in Poland took part in this type of testing.
You can share the second code with your co-worker – colleague, friend, boss, project partner. Give him/her the code and the following link:

In the ” Enter a code given by your colleague” box, have this person enter this second code and press ASSESS YOUR COLLEAGUE. She will then be able to assess your competence, and when she completes the assessment, she will again be able to use the first code to see her diagnosis. However, this time it will be a diagnosis supplemented by how your co-worker perceives you.
In human resource management, this type of competency assessment is called a 180-degree assessment, and is very common in a supervisor’s evaluation of an employee.
At the end, you will see your results together with your co-worker’s assessment results against the benchmark parameters we developed in the DIALOG project, which you can read about here:
