Neuroscientists and educational scientists agree. We all have different learning styles. One-size-fits-all training is ineffective. We forget 90% of what we've learned in 30 days. HermanScience uses visual neuroscience and cognitive AI to assess learners while they're learning without causing friction or feeling like "Big Brother." We use customized video that appeals to 100% of the brain vs. text or word assessments or surveys that only appeal to our logical brain areas, and therefore 10% of our decision-making. Our scientific approach, coupled with interactive gamification and escape rooms, allows us to achieve 16X more attention and retention compared to traditional learning & development techniques.

Minds can wander with other text and word-based tests, especially if they're too long. If a picture is worth a thousand words, video is worth a million. Moreover, studies show that visual neuroscience storytelling drives 16X more attention and retention, ensuring a higher completion rate. Cronbach's Alpha reliability for the most popular personality tests or engagement surveys average only 50 to 67%, whereas our assessment reliability is an industry-leading 93%.

Our standalone CQI Assessment only takes 9 minutes, and when embedded with our training courses, only extends the training by 5 to 7 minutes. The only other visual assessment claims to be accurate with a short 90-second test, however, this test is "either or", can be confusing. It's based on OCEAN, an outdated text-based personality model invented in the Eighties--long before the internet, mobile phones, or modern neuroscience. Text-based tests are usually too long, with 50 to 150 questions that take 45-minutes or more. They obviously can't be embedded with video e-learning courses. Studies validate that our visual neuroscience storytelling experience impacts seven brain areas to ensure a 97% completion rate and 93% Cronbach's Alpha reliability.

LinkedIn and other studies show that when new hires fail, 90% of the time it's due to a lack of the right soft skills for the position. NIH studies show that disengagement, often related to soft skills, causes 60% more mistakes that lead to 90% of security incidents. High stress and low trust are also primary causes for phishing clicks. One of the most important soft skills is trust, as scientists have validated that high trust environments drive 400% more business performance, 88% more customer loyalty, and 50% more productivity. Only HermanScience assessments measure brain oxytocin, the most accurate way to determine trust factors.

The AI, neuroscience, and advanced profiling has been validated by neuroscientists, educational scientists, CISOs and CHROs. It's also documented in two books by a New York Times bestselling author with a Harvard University Neuroscience Certification and a book by a PhD neuroscientist. The current and former Visionaries (CEOs) of EOS Worldwide wrote the Foreword to one book, and Ken Blanchard, co-author of The New One Minute Manager®, says "W. Craig Reed’s new book, Start With Who...discusses the fascinating neuroscience that is...thought provoking." Thousands of individuals have taken the Career Quotient Indicator (CQQ) assessment, either standalone or embedded into training courses, and we've validated a 93% Cronbach's Alpha reliability. Over 1500 "Gen-Z" young adults with the Kollab Workforce Development program have verified the results across a highly diverse population of mostly Hispanic, African American, and Asian ethnicities with a 97% completion rate and 92% approval rating.

Personality tests and employment assessments are legal so long as they do not violate Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or other legal requirements, such as those related to job discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, gender identity, and sexual orientation), national origin, disability, age (40 or older), or genetic information. To comply and pass audits, organizations should not rely solely on artificial intelligence (AI) for candidate analysis selection. Our system uses cognitive and generative AI for some aspects of candidate analysis, but combines this with neuroscience, behavioral science, educational science, and other non-AI processes to improve reliability and accuracy while eliminating bias and ensuring compliance. Our unique multifaceted approach can also help ensure DE&I balance, EEOC compliance, and the ability to pass AI audits and ensure compliance with Gen AI frameworks such as NIST GAI 600-1 and ISO 42001.
