TRIMA: humanistic psychometrics for everyday growth
At TRIMA, we believe that understanding people is the foundation of meaningful change.
For over 30 years, we have combined scientific rigour and a human-centered approach to help individuals, teams, and organizations evolve with clarity and purpose.
The TRIMA model uniquely integrates three complementary structures:
Social styles – who I am
Behavioral competencies – what people know how to do
Leadership styles – how influence and responsibility are exercised
Together, they offer an actionable diagnostic and a practical pathway for developing leadership and collaboration

Why choose TRIMA: an integrated approach to understanding and developing people
TRIMA goes beyond measurement. It offers a complete interpretive framework that integrates social styles, behavioral competencies, and leadership styles to illuminate identity, action, and impact.
Integrated approach
Understand a person across several levels: who they are, what they do, and how they influence others.
This three-dimensional perspective provides a complete and coherent view of human behavior.
Co-interpretation that transforms
Every TRIMA profile becomes a meaningful dialogue.
Co-interpretation connects data to lived experience, creating insights that support both individual and collective development.
Growth-oriented measurement
Grounded in ipsative psychometrics, TRIMA compares each person to themselves over time.
This approach reveals authentic patterns, tracks progress, and supports continuous development.
Clear results, grounded in practice
TRIMA results translate science into actionable insights that support the development of leaders, teams, and organizations.
Rigorous psychometrics in service of human growth
At TRIMA, psychometrics is not a tool for comparison.
It is a means of development.
Our assessments combine scientific rigour with human relevance, helping each person deepen self-understanding, grow, and act with intention.
