Anodos Discovery is the sole licensed partner for DNLA (Discovery of Natural Latent Abilities) for the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. Widely used across mainland Europe and beyond with some 600 plus corporate users, including many successful Mittelstand companies.
DNLA is a world-class instrument for measuring 'social competence at work' at times of recruitment, selection, promotion and development for employees or individuals wishing to realise their full potential. Delivered by accredited consultants working to DIN 33430 quality standards to help people realise their latent talent by improving their employability.
Below are the basic attributes of the Social Competencies report.
| Achievement Dynamics | Self Responsibility | |
| Drive and Application | ||
| Self Confidence | ||
| Achievement Motivation | ||
| Interpersonal Relationship | Sociability | |
| Assertiveness | ||
| Empathy | ||
| Will to Succeed | Commitment | |
| Status Awareness | ||
| Systematic Mentality | ||
| Initiative | ||
| Stress Capacity | Resilience | |
| Feedback Reaction | ||
| Emotional Stability | ||
| Self Esteem | ||
| Flexibility | ||
| Job Satisfaction |
Using the above Social Competencies factors allows us to assess the personal potential of employees across all business sectors and roles. These Social Competencies can then be combined with more specific DNLA assessments from Job Starters to Sales, Management, High Performance Teams and Corporate Climate Analysis. In addition there are measures of Management Support Required, Positive Potential, Ability to Lead, Willingness to Lead, Intercultural Competence and Stress. Optional Logical Thinking, PC Knowledge and Language Tests are available.
All DNLA programs have a common denominator representing experience in the form of scenarios, cases and actual studies by coaches and management consultants with their long-standing professional knowledge of behaviour at work. For more information click here.
DNLA’s initial research on Social Competencies was developed by Dr Strasser of the prestigious Max-Planck Institute (www.mpg.de/english/) in Munich under the management of Prof. Dr. Brengelmann. Then enhanced for the needs of today’s workplace by human resources experts. DNLA is based upon results, experience and the applied scientific foundation by occupational psychologists and experts in leadership. Professors Schliessman and Simon have also contributed to this work.
DNLA is a comprehensive view of an individual and how they can make the best of their lives, particularly in employment. This is neither a personality inventory nor a measure of Intelligence Quotient IQ, but an in-depth assessment of an individual’s potential based on behaviours and attitudes.
DNLA can be used across the board to assist all people no matter their gender, race, age or social background in finding fulfilling and rewarding employment.
