Retirement Success Profile Assessment

The Retirement Success Profile™  Assessment identifies personal strengths and areas of focus across 15 retirement success factors that closely affect retirement transition and planning. Across each of these factors, the Retirement Success Profile™ measures Expectation, Present Behaviour and Variance.

The Expectation Score provides a measure of one’s overall attitude toward retirement and how prepared the individual expects to be for their retirement transition as compared to others who have taken the assessment.

The Present Behaviour Score reveals how prepared an individual is right now for their retirement transition as compared to others who have taken the assessment.

The Variance Score provides a measure of the difference between one’s expectations and their current preparation for retirement across each of the 15 success factors. These scores pinpoint which areas require the most focus in planning for a fulfilling retirement.

Upon completion of the Retirement Success Profile™, individuals receive a comprehensive report outlining their assessment results. The report provides very personal data unique to the individual, and measures where clients are in their retirement transition preparation. This level of personal insight cannot be obtained anywhere else.
