Birkman Comparative Report
To participate in the Birkman Comparative Report, both participants must have taken
the Full Birkman with Feedback. The Comparative Report can only be done between
two people at a time. Each of the 9 Birkman components are covered in detail
between the the two individuals.
Most of what we hear
is an opinion, not a
fact. Most of what we
see is a perspective,
not an absolute truth.
When we accept that in
relationships there is
no one right way or
right answer, we set
ourselves up for better
relationships – both
professionally and
personally.
The Birkman Comparative report describes
significant similarities and differences between
two people using each of the nine Birkman
Components. Additionally, the report offers key
recommendations to consider when two people
work together.
Different Usual styles can make for an
interesting dynamic when working together.
However, when people’s Needs differ
significantly, it can present major challenges.
In cases where there is a significant difference
between the two people on the Birkman Needs
score, the report offers an additional
explanation of how each person can
understand the opposite approach.
Mostly unseen by others, Birkman Needs speak
to our expectation of people and the world
around us. When two people’s Needs are very
different, it creates the perfect environment for
disagreements, misunderstandings and
potential conflict. This is why it’s important to
address differences in a proactive way – before
they cause problems and become personal.
