How can you use the Kolbe assessment tool to improve time management skills?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Do you struggle with managing your time effectively? Do you often feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or bored by your tasks? Do you wonder how you can work more productively and creatively? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might benefit from taking the Kolbe assessment tool.

The Kolbe assessment tool is a method of measuring your natural way of taking action, or your conative style. Conation is the part of your mind that drives your instinctive actions, such as how you solve problems, communicate, learn, and innovate. Unlike personality tests, which measure your preferences or motivations, the Kolbe assessment tool reveals your innate strengths and talents.

1 How it works

The Kolbe assessment tool consists of 36 questions that ask you to choose how you would respond to different situations. Based on your answers, you receive a score on four different modes of action: Fact Finder, Follow Thru, Quick Start, and Implementor. Each mode has a range from 1 to 10, indicating how much you rely on that mode when taking action. For example, a high Fact Finder score means you tend to gather and analyze a lot of information before making decisions, while a low Fact Finder score means you prefer to act on intuition and general principles.

Self-assessment is the starting point of any change, and the Kolbe assessment provides the introspection needed to identify change points. An index can also help you rank your current state. However, everyone's time management is different due to personal factors of work, family, side gigs, and aspirations. Post the self-reflection and view of values, I would recommend techniques such as a priority matrix, time blocking, habit forming, and of course, a rhythm of review daily of your priorities and habits, to improve the next day.

2 How it helps

Knowing your Kolbe score can help you improve your time management skills in several ways. First, it can help you identify and leverage your natural strengths and talents. For example, if you are a high Quick Start, you can use your creativity and spontaneity to generate new ideas and solutions, while if you are a low Quick Start, you can use your stability and consistency to execute and refine existing plans. Second, it can help you avoid or minimize your stress and resistance zones. These are the modes of action that drain your energy and cause you to procrastinate or feel frustrated. For example, if you are a low Follow Thru, you might struggle with organizing and completing tasks that require a lot of details and structure, while if you are a high Follow Thru, you might resist changing or adapting your plans to new circumstances. Third, it can help you communicate and collaborate more effectively with others who have different Kolbe scores. By understanding how others take action, you can appreciate their contributions, respect their differences, and coordinate your efforts.

Benchmarks are always an excellent place to self-evaluate. It allows us to take a step back and analyze, where we need to improve. Maybe where we need to stop doing something as well.

3 How to use it

To use the Kolbe assessment tool to improve your time management skills, you need to do three things: take the test, interpret your results, and apply your insights. You can take the test online for a fee, or you can find a certified Kolbe consultant who can administer and debrief the test for you. Once you have your results, you can interpret them using the Kolbe reports, which provide detailed explanations and recommendations for each mode of action. You can also compare your results with others, such as your colleagues, family, or friends, to understand how you can work better together. Finally, you can apply your insights by adjusting your tasks, habits, and environment to suit your conative style. For example, you can prioritize the tasks that match your strengths, delegate or outsource the tasks that cause you stress, and create a workspace that supports your mode of action.

4 How to improve

Using the Kolbe assessment tool can help you improve your time management skills, but it is not a quick fix. To refine your skills and be open to feedback and learning, you should review your Kolbe score regularly and reflect on how it affects your performance and satisfaction. Additionally, set realistic and specific goals that align with your conative style, track your progress and results, and seek out opportunities to use your strengths and talents in new ways. If you find yourself in a stressful or resistant situation, don’t be afraid to ask for help or support. Appreciate the diversity of conative styles in others and learn from their perspectives and approaches. Finally, experiment with different tools and strategies that can enhance your mode of action, such as calendars, apps, checklists, reminders, etc.

One of the challenges with time management is the multitude of systems we use to execute tasks. To be successful, we must extract all your tasks (personal, work, and aspirational) into a middleware layer for you to evaluate priorities honestly. Using something like the Eisenhower Matrix will allow you to focus on what is important and urgent first, schedule, delegate, or stop doing things that do not align with your goals.
