What makes LQ™ Different?

The ECHO Listening Profile™ is not a personality test. It's a cognitive map rooted in rigorous, validated science.

Personality assessments identify “who you are” with fixed traits. LQ™ measures how you think and process information:

What information is prioritized

Provides a practical framework to adapt your communication style to meet others’ cognitive needs

What is unconsciously overlooked

We compliment other personality and behavioral assessments like DiSC, Myers-Briggs, StrengthsFinder and Six Working Genius because we measure for different variables. By offering valuable insight into how people process information we reveal the cognitive differences that inform how people make decisions, lead and collaborate.

Grounded in validated science and thorough research.

The ECHO Listening Profile™ is a one-of-a-kind listening assessment developed specifically for business contexts. It has undergone rigorous scientific validation, including face, content, criterion-oriented, and construct validity, to ensure results are accurate, actionable, and meaningful.

Unlike general personality assessments, ECHO® focuses specifically on cognition and how the brain processes information, rather than temperament or behavioral style. That distinction is everything.
