The GolfPro™ is a powerful scientific tool designed by Henry Brunton, Canadian PGA Master Professional and GOLF Magazine™ Top 100 Teacher and John C. Marshall, Ph.D. sports psychologist and renowned performance coach.
What is a Psychometric Profile?
A psychometric profile is a scientific tool that measures some aspect of personality. The GolfPro™ measures personality traits and attitudes and relates them to golf performance.How Does it Work?
The GolfPro™ measures each individual by asking questions that relate to a group of 8 personality traits and a number of different attitudes. Each individual's traits and attitudes are compared to the general population and the specific population of golfers. This allows the individual to understand his/her relationship to other golfers on the key performance traits and how to take advantage of this information.Is it Accurate?
Normative profiles such as the GolfPro™ are extremely accurate due to the depth of the questioning and the ability to relate individual scores on a number of scales to larger populations. The GolfPro™ was developed by the Self Management Group using the same advanced statistical techniques and measurements that it has been using since 1979 when it was a leader in normative profiling. The GolfPro™ also uses techniques to control of mood changes and socially desirable responding.Who Uses these Tools?
Now golfers and their golf coaches have access to the same sort of powerful personality profiling that SMG has been using to select, develop and retain top performers in sport, competitive sales and management for over 25 years.
