License the BESSI

Elevate Your Practice with the BESSI

Empower your coaching and counseling clients with an evidence-based assessment of their behavioral, emotional, and social skills.

Are you a personal coach or counselor looking for a scientifically validated tool to guide your client sessions? The Behavioral, Emotional, and Social Skills Inventory (BESSI) is a comprehensive assessment designed to measure a person’s capacity to regulate goal-directed behaviors, form positive relationships, manage their emotions, and learn from experience. Unlike traditional personality tests that measure fixed traits, the BESSI focuses on malleable skills: capabilities that can be learned and improved through your targeted coaching and effortful practice.

Why Integrate the BESSI Into Your Practice?
