Opusuna is a Bias-free Behavioral Assessment & Integrated Strategy for
Team-Building
NOT a personality, IQ or psychometric assessment
Opusuna is an entirely qualitative tool, drawing heavily from physics and the dynamic systems theory of how humans interact and operate.
It's not a mishmash of previous assessments or does it even remotely resemble the Myers-Briggs, DISC, Predictive Index, or any other test that may be familiar to you.
Opusuna was developed from the ground up to be a team-building strategy and measure teamwork and interactive behavior.
