Easy answers to the product questions we get most often.
What is the Talent Insights Interaction Guide?
The Interaction Guide is a communication and management tool that helps you understand how two people are likely to interact based on their personality assessment data. It provides tailored tips for improving collaboration, coaching, and working relationships.
How does the Interaction Guide work?
You select two participants from your organization, assign their roles (e.g., coworkers or manager-direct report), and choose whether to generate Communication Tips or Management Tips. The system instantly generates a side-by-side report with personalized guidance based on each person’s DISC, 16 Types, and RIASEC results.
What types of insights does the guide provide?
Depending on the selected role and focus area, the guide provides:
- Best practices for giving feedback, running meetings, and writing emails
- Do’s and don’ts for assigning work, motivating team members, and managing based on personality
- Clear examples of each person’s communication preferences and behavioral tendencies
Who should use the Interaction Guide?
It’s designed for managers, team leads, HR professionals, and even coworkers who want to strengthen collaboration and interpersonal effectiveness. It’s especially valuable for new teams, remote environments, or when onboarding new hires.
Can the Interaction Guide help improve team communication?
Yes. By revealing how people differ in communication style, motivation, and relational needs, the guide promotes empathy, reduces misunderstandings, and helps create a more respectful, productive workplace culture.
Is this tool useful for one-on-one coaching?
Absolutely. Managers can use the guide to prepare for 1-on-1s, coaching conversations, or even performance reviews. It helps you tailor your message to each individual’s preferences—leading to more effective and trusted communication.
How is this different from general management advice?
Unlike generic tips, the Interaction Guide uses real assessment data to personalize the guidance for each pair of individuals. That means advice that fits this person, in this relationship, in your company.
Does this tool support hybrid or remote teams?
Yes! Since it includes suggestions for email, virtual meetings, and written communication, it’s especially useful for distributed teams who rely on asynchronous collaboration.
Can I generate guides for my whole team?
Yes. You can create Interaction Guides between any two participants in your account. Managers can generate unique guides for each direct report, improving every relationship on their team.
