About the Forté Communication System

The Forté Communication System is a simple, powerful, pragmatic and cost-effective system for cultivating and promoting good communication between individuals and within teams. Unlike other instruments that measure aspects of "personality type", the Forté is designed to assess current, changing and perceived "communication styles" and to help individuals and teams minimize the chances for misunderstandings and conflicts.

While people are generally aware that they have communication strengths that govern their everyday behavior or communication style, they are not aware that these traits are well defined and produce specific and unique profile patterns. In most profiles, a primary communication style will be evident and depending upon the intensity of its strength and will control that individual's attitude, action and responses 50% to 70% of the time.

Communication style characteristics reflect how one thinks, understands, relates and comes across to others; thus, there is tremendous value in knowing one's communication style characteristics and the characteristics of others. The Forté brings together a respondent's communication strengths (traits) and provides a highly accurate understanding of personal and interpersonal preferences.

An adapting profile identifies how the respondent has been adjusting to an unlimited number of others/environments for the past 30 days and further captures the respondent's current decision-making style, current stamina and current goals index. A perceiver profile tells the respondent how they are "most likely" coming across to others. Unique to Forté System is: the ability to show interactions between individuals that give them specific action plans for improving communications and help pinpoint areas of potential conflict, and the ability to create comparative profiles for teams.

The Forté System was developed by C. D. "Hoop" Morgan in 1979. Since then, it has been refined and re-normed several times and was one of the first such diagnostics to be completely available on-line. The Forté is easy to administer, taking no more than 10 minutes. The Forté may be used to develop top-performer profiles and to screen potential candidates for job positions. It can also be used to build model profiles and in coaching for improved performance.
