The CYFA is a psychometric tool that measures the fundamental characteristics essential to success that most other assessments do not address. These character qualities act as the foundation that supports everything else within an individual’s psychological matrix such as personality, competencies, cognitive abilities, and attitudes. Without addressing this foundation, fundamental transformation cannot occur, and most people will revert to their old habits, no matter how many traditional assessments you use or how much training or education a person receives. The CYFA helps diagnose the strength of one’s personal or team or workplace values foundation and provides a blueprint to strengthen the character infrastructure.
