The PRISM Questionnaire clarifies the relationship between individual preferences and role demands and highlights the
'critical success factors' linked to high performance. Unlike personality trait measures, PRISM explores perceptions and motives,
and how these shape behaviour. The design of the questionnaire draws on the work of Henry Murray (1938) and his pioneering work
in defining latent and manifest needs, and the way people adjust to environmental factors. A number of the PRISM scales are
closely linked to underlying needs such as Power & Control, Achievement, Recognition and Affiliation.
Thee main applications of PRISM relate to competency-based interviewing, coaching
and personal development programmes. For organisations wishing to become accredited in the use of Prism a two-day training
course is available. This explores issues relating to needs, perceptual processes and work adjustment and addresses the
practical skills required to interpret the questionnaire outputs and conduct an effective feedback session.
The Focused Impact workbook that accompanies the programme is a valuable resource that can be used to facilitate
individual and team development.
