The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Mike Zani no published score: no usable exchanges on raw tape, and a fair score needs 8+ record → ← everyone

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q Yeah. Was it a, I mean, was it a, I don't understand that. Was this a SAS business or they were paying per assessment or what?

A It was, it was a unlimited use subscription. Um, it would be hard to say it was SAS. Um, it was unlimited use of this subscription technology. Um, it was, all it was, was an online, uh, scoring tool, um, of a service like strengths finder. Um, I think there's a, there's a basket of psychometric assessments, and I think they fall into several categories. Uh, one is, you know, behavioral assessments. Another is cognitive assessments, strength finder, disc, uh, Myers-Briggs. A lot of those fall into the camp of, you know, behavioral assessments, um, that'll give you some insight into how people think, how they make decisions.

Q So who did you have to remove from the predictive index?

A We're probably not going to go there. Um, you know, it's interesting. So my business partner and I have, uh, purchased and taken over four sort of used companies and, and oftentimes times a lot of the, the, the, the team that we acquire, uh, Does not make that transition. It doesn't, it doesn't make the transition from the original founding family, uh, where it was in a slower growth, um, sort of plotting cashflow mode into a much faster growth mode where we're really trying to grow the top line and change things. And it can be sad sometimes because there's a lot of legacy legacy there. Uh, but the ones who make it are just thrilled that someone finally took the, you know, the shackles off.
