About Human Synergistics

Since 1970, we have developed and provided high-quality assessments and simulations for individuals, leaders, teams, and organizations to actualize their potential. While we're probably best known for our Desert Survival Situation™ and Organizational Culture Inventory® (the world’s most widely used culture survey), our impact transcends that reputation. Our emphasis on measuring the relationship between human behaviors and performance has allowed us to help millions of individuals achieve self-knowledge and to help thousands of organizations understand their operating cultures and relationship to outcomes such as profitability, employee satisfaction, quality of service, and teamwork.

We take pride in and dedicate many of our resources to research to ensure that our products meet the highest academic standards for reliability and validity. Each assessment requires special care in regards to wording, response options, design, content, and norming. Prototype surveys spend ample time in the beta-testing stage, in order to collect data from large populations of executives, managers, individual contributors, or organizational units, depending on the application. This enables individuals and organizations to compare their survey results to a research database, in order to get a realistic picture of where they stand.

We proudly serve both the business and academic communities, including clients in the public, private, and not-for-profit organizations, human resource and organizational development professionals, internal and external consultants, and educational institutions. Our staff’s commitment to providing the highest quality products and services has enabled us to establish long-term relationships with our clients and to build our business based primarily on referrals and our reputation.
