Analysis: Semi-structured interviews and the systematic coding of behavioral patterns form the foundation. We capture not only how leaders behave, but – through the integration of Socionics – also the motivation and interaction logic underlying their actions.

Evaluation: Based on this, we develop the Behavioral Predictive Fit Score (BPFS) – an objective metric that makes fit, stability, and development potential visible. Socionics provides the interpretive framework, enabling sharper and more accurate insights into consistency, motivation, and behavioral drivers.

Derivation: The result is more than a snapshot – the BPFS provides reliable predictions of how a leader will act in critical situations. From this, we derive concrete recommendations for selection, development, and governance – always tailored to the organization’s specific challenges.

Practical applications

Our methodology is particularly effective where traditional methods reach their limits:

  • Executive Search: Preventing mis-hires

  • Leadership Development: Strengthening leaders with precision

  • Transformations: Stabilizing leadership teams and identifying risks early

Value for decision-makers
  • Objectivity: Behavior instead of self-presentation

  • Depth: Motivation and interaction patterns explained through Socionics

  • Precision: Early identification of strengths and risks

  • Impact: Better hiring decisions, sustainable leadership development, and stronger, more stable teams

Evidence and Impact

Studies and practice show: Teams whose leaders were selected or developed based on objective behavioral criteria achieve significantly higher success rates, more sustainable performance, and a much lower turnover rate.

Process: AMBIT

The AM Academy methodology is based on AMBIT – AM Academy Behavioral & Interaction Typology.
It combines objective behavioral diagnostics with the explanatory power of Socionics – creating a clear three-step approach: making behavior visible, contextualizing motivation, and predicting future actions.
