Skills for Career and Life Effec­tive­ness® (SCALE®) was devel­oped through fac­tor analy­sis research using data from the first ever pos­i­tive assess­ment instru­ment designed and pub­lished by Dar­win Nel­son and Gary Low.  In its for­mer ver­sion, the instru­ment has been used for over 25 years by Margo Mur­ray of The Man­agers’ Men­tor, MMHA, LCC.  It has a strong lin­eage and proven track record for client engage­ment and mean­ing­ful skill devel­op­ment in busi­ness, cor­po­rate, and gov­ern­ment ser­vice set­tings.  The online assess­ment is only 105 items and gen­er­ates over 50 pages of reports and feed­back for guided men­tor­ing and self-directed coach­ing.  The SCALE® uti­lizes pos­i­tive assess­ment and empha­sizes the devel­op­ment of career and life skills in pro­fes­sional environments.
