Most defensible
EyeQ
Decision-neuroscience · University of Zurich
Methodology
Eye gaze, pupil dilation, response dynamics
under real choice pressure. Biometric.
Not just a questionnaire.
Output type
Observed decision behaviour, risk tolerance, perception gaps,
information-quantity need, loss aversion.
Defensibility
Peer-reviewed neuroscience, UZH research base,
Kahneman / Fehr lineage. Holds up in front of corporate
procurement and risk teams.
Access model
Certified use only. Your competitors literally
cannot use it without certification. Premium by design.
Best for
Leadership boutiques that need a methodology the big consulting
firms haven't onboarded, a differentiator in leadership
development pitches.
Self-report personality test
Self-report personality · Big Five lineage
Methodology
Self-report questionnaire scoring on standard personality
dimensions.
Output type
Personality profile, traits, dark-side derailers, and motives.
What the client reports about themselves.
Defensibility
Dependent on the test type. Some are academically validated,
others are not. Widely used in leadership development.
Access model
Open licensing. The big consulting firms already sell programmes
based on it.
Best for
Leadership development and derailment-risk conversations, mature
and credible, but widely available.
AI inference from games
AI inference from games
Methodology
12 short games whose outputs are fed into a trained algorithm to
infer candidate traits.
Output type
Predicted traits, algorithmically extrapolated from game-play
behaviour.
Defensibility
Algorithm transparency varies. Risk-committee questions about
training-data bias and inference chain are common.
Access model
SaaS subscription, broad access. Your competitors can quickly
buy in.
Best for
Broad-reach screening, modern brand, but harder to defend the
inference chain in front of a sceptical risk team.
