Strength Deployment Inventory®
Personal Strength Publishing Inc.
The Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI) measures an individual's motivational value system both when things are going well, and when the person faces conflict or opposition. Whereas many other tools measure behaviour, the SDI explores the motivations and values that underlie those behaviours. The SDI® was developed by Dr. Elias H. Porter.
The applications of the SDI are many, including building awareness of self and others, leadership development, team building, conflict management, and dispute resolution or mediation.
This is an excellent tool to help you understand your own motivations, as well as understanding the motivations of others. The inventory assigns colours to your motivation value system: red, blue, green, and hub (a mixture of all colours).
