In April 2004, Acumen International, the publisher of WorkStyles™, entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Human Synergistics International, their original partner in creating the Acumen instruments. The agreement reunited Acumen WorkStyles™ after 20 years with the instrument on which it is based, the Life Styles Inventory. This reunion permitted the updating of Acumen WorkStyles™ and its re-alignment with Life Styles Inventory circumplex, which had been modified and improved over the ensuing two decades. In January 2007, Human Synergistics released Acumen WorkStyles™ 2007, which fulfills our goal of integrating the updated circumplex into WorkStyles’™typology and highly personalized reports. In addition, the WorkStyles™ 2007 reports use the latest Web technology resulting in improved online assessment management and report processing. |
