TTISI Sciences Included in the LIG Partner Mentorship Program
Built around direct 1:1 mentorship with Marcus, every mentorship program and integration pathway is customized to you—your assessments, your strengths, your blind spots, your organization & role, and the life you’re building alongside your work.
DISC (Behaviors)
TTI’s DISC assessment measures how a person does what they do through four behavioral factors: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Compliance.
It explores observable behavior and reveals how a person will perform, including how they prefer to communicate, what they will bring to a team, their ideal environment, and possible limitations they may face.
DISC helps:
Minimize conflict
Increase productivity and engagement
Enhance communication
Maximize strengths
Turn challenges into opportunities
12 Driving Forces® (Motivators)
The 12 Driving Forces® assessment explores motivation and engagement through six factors, measuring why a person does what they do.
At the core of 12 Driving Forces® are six motivators, rooted in Eduard Spranger’s esteemed research from 1928. This assessment reveals what sparks action and ambition in a person, as well as what impacts their decision-making.
12 Driving Forces® helps:
Find real meaning in work
Uncover areas of opportunity
Drive meaningful development
Improve performance
Boost engagement and retention
EQ (Emotional Intelligence)
EQ assessment measures a person’s emotional intelligence, or ability to sense, understand, and effectively apply emotions for higher levels of collaboration and productivity.
It examines five key areas pertaining to intrapersonal and interpersonal relations: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, social awareness, and social regulation.
EQ helps:
Improve self-awareness and social awareness
Drive personal and professional growth
Support stress management
Work well with a wide variety of people
Respond effectively to rapidly changing conditions

ACI (Judgement)
The Acumen Capacity Index (ACI) report measures how a person thinks or perceives information.
Based on a science called Axiology, ACI measures the capacity and clarity of understanding the world and self, while revealing the blind spots that are created by emotional biases.
Acumen is assessed using three dimensions of thought, analyzing both world and self-views: Intrinsic (feeling), Extrinsic (doing), and Systemic (thinking).
ACI helps:
Strengthen problem-solving skills
Enhance decision-making
Unveil thought processes
Optimize performance and potential
Promote self-improvement and alignment
DNA (Competencies)
The Competencies assessment measures the development of 25 personal skills (or soft skills) required in any job, ranking them from ‘developed’ to ‘needs development’.
Our research has shown that, for many jobs, personal skills are just as important as technical skills in producing superior performance. Personal skills are often transferable to different jobs, whereas technical skills are usually more specific.
DNA helps:
Guide professional development
Improve organizational performance
Support targeted coaching and training
Enhance role alignment
Identify strengths and development opportunities
Multi-Science Assessments
A multi-science approach means using multiple assessments to measure different aspects of a person’s personality. While one assessment is powerful, combining multiple assessments is a catalyst to unlocking deeper understanding, engagement, and development.
Multiple sciences progressively reveal more of a person—what they do, how they do it, and why they do the things they do. Our approach also measures both the presence and absence of behavior, as well as acceptance and avoidance. This creates the full picture and exponentially reveals human potential.
Multi-Science strategy helps:
Go deeper into self-awareness and personal insight.
Understand the setup required to do optimal work.
Enhance work with colleagues and leadership ability.
Create a robust professional development plan.
Develop mastery of strengths.
Individually Powerful • Strategically Integrated
Transformational When Applied Together
Most professional partners are trained on assessments and resources.
Few develop the skills to turn them into functional tools.
Even fewer are mentored on how to evaluate, think, discern, listen—and then apply them with wisdom.
The LIG Mentorship Academy exists for professionals who understand that mastery is not achieved through more information or additional certifications—but through guided integration, intentional practice, and trusted partnership.
Why Mentorship—Not More Training
Many experienced professionals eventually reach a point where additional courses and certifications no longer create meaningful growth.
At a certain stage in professional development, the challenge is no longer access to information—it is the integration of insight into real-world practice. Mentorship creates a different kind of learning environment. Instead of accumulating more tools, mentorship focuses on refining the practitioner behind the tools.
Deep Integration
Move beyond learning frameworks to understanding how tools and models function within real conversations, decisions, and leadership moments.
Reflective Practice
Develop the ability to slow down, discern patterns, listen with greater intention, create clarity, and respond thoughtfully within complex human dynamics.
Guided Mastery
Receive personalized mentorship that strengthens how you think, listen, and lead—allowing your work to become more precise, impactful, and sustainable.
Mastery rarely comes from another certification.
It grows through mentorship, intentional practice,
and the willingness to examine how we show up in our work.
