TAIS Assessment & Performance Debrief
Learn how your focus, communication, and decisions shape performance under pressure.
TAIS Assessment for Athletes
Every athlete trains their body — few truly understand how their mind operates under pressure. The TAIS (Attentional and Interpersonal Style) Assessment helps close that gap. It reveals how your patterns of focus, communication, and decision-making influence your consistency, confidence, and ability to perform when it counts.
Used by top performers in sport, military, and business, TAIS offers a clear window into how you think and interact — not to label you, but to help you train smarter.
At Quantum Performance Inc., we use your TAIS results to create a personalized plan that strengthens mental skills, sharpens attention, and supports steadier performance in every arena.
WHAT IS TAIS?
The TAIS (Attentional and Interpersonal Style) Assessment measures how you focus, process information, and connect with others — the building blocks of performance in any environment.
Rather than labeling your personality, TAIS highlights the mental patterns that help or hinder your performance under pressure. It identifies where your attention naturally goes, how you shift between focus styles, and how your communication tendencies show up in training, competition, and relationships.
By understanding these patterns, we can pinpoint the drivers and limiters of your performance — and build a tailored plan to help you strengthen specific mental skills, reduce performance mistakes, and perform with greater self-awareness and control.
TAIS has been used by athletes, military leaders, and executives worldwide to enhance leadership, focus, and composure in high-pressure environments.
Unlike personality assessments such as DISC or Myers-Briggs, which describe general behavior tendencies, TAIS focuses on how your mind performs under pressure — how you pay attention, communicate, and make decisions when it matters most. It’s less about labeling who you are and more about understanding how you operate, so you can train the skills that drive consistent, high-level performance.
Who Would Benefit?
TAIS isn’t just for athletes — it’s for anyone who performs under pressure.
Whether you’re competing, coaching, or collaborating, TAIS helps you understand the mental and interpersonal patterns that shape how you think, connect, and lead when it matters most.
Athletes
TAIS helps athletes better understand how their mind operates under pressure — revealing both the strengths they can rely on and the habits that may limit consistency. With this awareness, we create tailored strategies to sharpen focus, build resilience, and improve decision-making. The result is greater confidence, steadier performance, and the ability to reach your potential more consistently.
Teams & Organizations
For teams and organizations, TAIS builds the foundation for trust, communication, and cohesion. By helping each member understand their own attentional and interpersonal style, it promotes self-awareness and mutual understanding — key ingredients for collaboration under pressure. Teams that use TAIS strengthen problem-solving, connection, and collective performance.
Coaches
TAIS gives coaches a deeper understanding of their athletes and team dynamics. It highlights how each individual processes information and responds to stress, helping guide personalized coaching approaches that bring out the best in every athlete. The result is more effective leadership, stronger relationships, and a more unified team culture.
TAIS is adaptable across settings — from sport to business to military performance. Whether you’re an athlete looking for targeted mental strategies, a team aiming to strengthen cohesion, or a coach refining how you lead, the assessment can be customized to fit your goals. At Quantum Performance Inc., we ensure each interpretation and plan aligns directly with your environment, so the insights translate into meaningful, lasting results.
How The TAIS Assessment Works?
The TAIS Assessment is completed online and takes about 25–35 minutes. It’s untimed and designed to be taken when you can sit quietly and answer each question honestly. There are 144 statements, and you’ll respond using a simple scale — Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Frequently, or Always.
Once completed, you’ll receive a comprehensive TAIS report outlining your attentional and interpersonal patterns. But the real value comes in what happens next. You’ll meet one-on-one with Kate Allgood, a TAIS-certified coach, to review your results in depth. Together, you’ll connect the data to your actual performance — identifying strengths to lean on, limiters to train, and strategies to apply right away.
From there, you’ll receive a personalized mental performance plan — one that aligns with who you are as an athlete, leader, or coach, and provides clear direction for your next phase of development.
Specialized Performance Profiling
Improvement starts with awareness. Through the TAIS Assessment, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how your mind works and how to train it for greater consistency, focus, and confidence. The insights you uncover often reshape how you approach preparation, communication, and recovery.
Kate has worked with world-class athletes around the globe, using TAIS to help them reach higher levels of performance. Her expertise in performance profiling was called upon by the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks organization, where she worked with top prospects to help players refine their mental approach and assist coaches in understanding how to best teach, communicate, and motivate each individual.
