I recently had to ask 5-8 colleagues to fill out a TRACOM "Social Styles Assessment" for an upcoming training program at work, so this is something I've been curious about as well. It appears that TRACOM's Social Style Model is more "effective" than the leading Meyers-Briggs program [0], but I'm not clear on how that compares to people who do not participate in any training/assessment at all. edit: from the linked journal article: > In addition, 73% of these professionals believe that interpersonal skills training is effective despite the lack of empirical evidence for such a claim.
