Kaplan, R. E. (1998).  Getting at character: The simplicity on the other side of complexity. In R. Jeanneret and R. Silzer (Eds.), Individual assessment: The art and science of personal psychological evaluation in an organizational setting. San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass.

For an assessment process to capture an executive’s attention, be credible, and guide corrective action, the data must be comprehensive and from varied sources and methods. But this produces a hefty amount of information. There is tremendous leverage in systematically boiling the data down into essential themes and unifying principles. This chapter describes a particularly potent way of clarifying assessment data so that it is incisive, compelling, and actionable.
