Develop is designed to provide enduring insights, not short-term snapshots. Because the assessment measures stable traits, most users will only ever need to take it once.
Why We Don’t Recommend Frequent Re-Testing
Stable Traits: The attributes measured in Develop (behavioral, cognitive, and motivational) don’t change significantly over time.
Performance vs. Traits: While someone’s performance can and should grow with experience, coaching, and feedback - their underlying effort patterns remain consistent.
Consistency Builds Trust: Keeping results stable helps employees and managers build long-term development strategies, rather than chasing new scores.
What to Update Instead
If someone’s job title changes, update it in the platform. This ensures their results are framed in the right job context.
Encourage employees to revisit their action plans and goals regularly, since growth happens in how they apply insights - not in re-taking the assessment.
When Not to Re-Test
To “improve” a score: Low scores don’t mean poor performance - they indicate areas that may take more effort.
After a short time: Retesting within months or even a year will almost always yield similar results.
As a measure of progress: Growth shows up in behaviors, feedback, and achievements - not in shifting trait scores.
Bottom line: Re-testing is rare and usually unnecessary. Instead, focus on how results are applied in real work and how performance evolves with experience, support, and practice.
