A.R.C.H. Assessment

What’s Your Workplace Personality?

Every team is made up of different personalities. Some charge ahead and lead the way, while others build relationships. Some people prioritize harmony, while others focus more on quality.

This 4-minute, 16‑question assessment will help you discover your A.R.C.H. workplace personality style. Each individual style is paired with a Canadian Wildlife Profile to make it easier to remember and the combination of your dominant and secondary styles is your overall A.R.C.H. workplace personality style.

Quick note: This assessment is designed to help you get started; our full-day program is where you’ll learn how to use the results to get promotions, resolve conflict, lead teams, effectively communicate, build solid relationships, and so much more.

Will you emerge as an Elk who thrives with the pack? A Beaver who carefully builds systems and structures? A Grizzly Bear who confidently takes charge? Or perhaps a River Otter who brings people together through communication and connection?

The Grizzly Bear
The Grizzly Bear (Achiever)

In the wild, grizzly bears are powerful, confident, and command attention simply through their presence. Like their namesake, Grizzlies in the workplace are highly effective but can sometimes unintentionally intimidate their team. Learning to moderate their power helps them lead effectively without causing burnout.

The Elk
The Elk (Reliable)

In the wild, elk are calm, steady, and rely on the strength of the herd. Like their namesake, Elk in the workplace are reliable and thrive in stable environments but can find sudden organizational change highly stressful. Learning tools to adapt to change helps them navigate rapid transitions with confidence.

The Beaver
The Beaver (Curious)

In the wild, beavers are resourceful builders that carefully shape their environment. Like their namesake, Beavers in the workplace are analytical and precise but can sometimes get trapped in analysis paralysis or perfectionism. Learning tools to balance their high standards helps them adapt to fast-paced business demands.

The River Otter
The River Otter (Harmonious)

In the wild, river otters are energetic, curious, and thrive through connection and exploration. Like their namesake, Otters in the workplace bring enthusiasm and creativity but can sometimes struggle with follow-through. Learning tools to turn their big ideas into action helps them deliver finished results.
