The B-Scan assesses the degree to which a person responds to challenges to organizational responsibility and effectiveness as expressed in his or her behaviors, attitudes, and judgments.

Characteristics assessed are:

• Personal Style (how an individual sees himself or herself and his or her attitude toward others),
• Emotional Style (understanding of one's own feelings and emotions, those of others, and the way in which one uses that understanding in the business environment),
• Organizational Effectiveness (what it takes to be a contributing member of an organization), and
• Social Responsibility (how effectively an individual interacts with others).

In addition to a Self-report version, there is also a Supervisor version that includes similar characteristics which are rated by the individual’s direct supervisor.
