Can 360 degree feedback be used alongside personality and style assessments?
Most, but not all, 360 degree feedback processes tend to compare self-perceptions of skills, effectiveness or performance to others who have had a chance to work with the individual. It is possible, but less common, to also utilize a 360 degree feedback process measuring personality or style. Some organisations find value in combining a skill based 360 degree feedback process with a separate personality or style instrument in their coaching and training programs. Personality and style, measuring underlying motives, can help explain why someone might behave as they do, whereas 360 degree feedback provides a more complete picture about how one’s behaviour is being perceived by others.
