THE SCIENCE BEHIND WETHOS AI
Wethos AI was developed as a behavioral assessment focused on team performance. In the early 80s, most tools were based on identifying personal characteristics and were more descriptive by design. These were helpful, but the Wethos Team believed a predictive tool for team interactions could prove more useful. The goal was to develop an assessment with exceptional internal consistency—one that would help individuals and teams perform at a higher level by recognizing their default behaviors and gaining awareness of how those behaviors influence themselves and others.
The empirical research behind Wethos identified four highly consistent activities that impact team performance. Based on this research, the Wethos assessment analyzes 84 items that identify how people naturally behave within the four areas of team performance, and presents actionable, objective feedback.
The results demonstrate an excellent internal consistency of reliability with a high degree of construct validity. The results from Exploratory Factor Analyses (EFA), Multi-Trait Multi-Method (MTMM) Matrix, and Confirmatory Factor Analyses (CFA), all strongly support the conclusion that Wethos demonstrates excellent validity.

UNLOCKING INSIGHTS: ASSESS 📝
The Scales
The Wethos AI Platform operates on the foundation of the Wethos Style, which is characterized by a set of four numbers. These numbers correspond to four distinct scales: Ideas, Relational, Action & Order. Wethos measures each person’s behavioral style across these four scales that are integral to individual and team performance. Once someone has completed the online, 7 minute Wethos assessment, we analyze their responses to identify their default behaviors—the ways they most naturally tend to engage with their team—in each of the four scales. To access the insights provided by the Wethos platform, users are invited to complete a 7 minute assessment. This assessment unlocks a comprehensive understanding of one's unique style as defined by these scales, thereby allowing the user to take full advantage of the rest of the Wethos AI Features.
The Scales: Ideas 
The Ideas Scale measures how people process and express ideas.
-
Are they more abstract or concrete in their thinking?
-
Do they like to summarize their ideas or describe them in a detailed narrative?
-
Do they start by asking themselves “what else,” “how to,” or “with what”?
-
Do they process ideas by verbalizing them, asking questions, or thinking them through silently?
-
Do they move quickly to test ideas, wait until they have built a system to execute, or figure out every detail before implementing?
There are five segment styles on this scale:
The Scales: Relational 
The Relational Scale measures how people process and engage with emotions—theirs and others.
- How apparent must others’ emotions be before a person notices them?
- Do they typically feel or simply observe others’ emotions?
- Are they more inclined to nurture emotions, attempt to manage emotions, or rarely acknowledge emotions?
The Scales: Action
The Action Scale measures how people exert their force of will on objectives.
- Are they more focused on the achievement of goals or the activities necessary to achieve goals?
- Are they asking “is it done?”, “is everything working?” or “is it working right?”
- Are they more inclined to direct others to achieve their goals, or to take on tasks in recognition of the needs of others?
The Scales: Order
The Order Scale measures how people structure and complete work.
- Do they like following orderly routines and processes, or taking a more creative, flexible approach to the work?
- Are they more hands-on or hands-off when managing performance?
- How complete does a project need to be before they are ready to move on to the next thing?

The Comfort Index
The Wethos Comfort Index gives managers insight into their direct report’s comfort levels. Whether a company’s culture encourages a high level of comfort or not, the Comfort Index dynamically calculates a work alignment score from daily task relevance and teamwork feedback. The average of these scores represents the team's (and individuals) overall comfort level. This feature promotes transparency and effective growth opportunities.
We incorporate a myriad of factors when evaluating an employee’s comfort levels: work alignment, workplace fit, and other contextual factors.
