Icaro Insights runs a multi-method strengths discovery process designed to be useful, not just descriptive. We don’t stop at scores like psychometric testing firms do. We capture qualitative evidence to bring about real-world behavioral proof for you.

The result is an Integrated Strengths Profile that no other psychometric agency can provide. 

Our approach treats strengths as something you can work with, not just claim:

• More accurate: triangulating data across methods reduces self-report bias and halo effects.

• More actionable: strengths are tied to specific episodes, patterns, and indicators, so your decisions become easier.

• More defensible: you walk away with a narrative you can support with evidence that's useful for interviews, performance reviews, university applications, leadership conversations, and personal strategy.

We regularly review emerging research literature, update the battery and protocols, and retire tools that don’t meet reliability/validity thresholds or don’t generalize well across contexts.

Even the most rigorously validated assessments and processes have inherent limitations. Human behavior and personality are dynamic, influenced by context, culture, and life experiences that no single test can fully capture. At Icaro, we acknowledge these boundaries, not as flaws, but as reminders of human complexity. Among the hundreds of tools available, we have chosen those that demonstrate the highest reliability and validity, ensuring that while no method is perfect, yours rests on the strongest scientific foundations possible.
