The Different PEAKS Profile Reports

THE BASIC PEAKS PROFILE
Like the human DNA, the PEAKS Profile offers
you a glimpse of your composite personalitydriven potential. This will give you leverage in
advancing your areas of strength and
managing your identified fields of weakness
for PEAK performance. The PEAKS profiles will

tradition and peak performance research by
RCI. This profile gives you reflections of your
potential to peak perform in a variety of
contexts. The first five pages in this report
contain your personality descriptors on each

uniqueness in 25 different personality areas.
