Brazil: More exotic,

USA: Shorter distance to go,

i.e. it suits Power!

Evaluations of HumanGuide®

“I am a little sceptical to assess people via tests, but HumanGuide was the best I have seen. Very satisfied”

“Interesting that a so simple and quick test can give such a precise assessment of a person”

“The result was that I in a short time “learnt” for me unknown people”

“Good method for a group to discuss both the individuals and the group’s behaviour”

This is the third concept the management team is using: “This was the best!”
