In order to have these instructions available to you while taking the test at the SkillsOne CPP website, you must either print a hard copy of this page now or alternate between this window and the CPP window as needed.

Note that you have the option to begin an inventory, save your results, and return to complete it later. See steps #7-8 below.

  1. Go to the Skills One™ website for CPP by clicking here.
  2. Once you have reached the Skills One ™ CPP website, complete the login area as follows:
    • Login: mda
    • Password: (provided in the instructions sent to you)
    • User ID: (leave blank)
  3. Choose one of the tests that have been assigned to you by clicking the corresponding Take It button at the bottom of the screen.
    • If you are taking the California Psychological Invenory (CPI), be sure to take ONLY the one form you were assigned (434 or 260).
    • If you are taking the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), be sure to take the form you were assigned (Q,M, G, or K) in your Online Testing Instructions.
    • If you are taking the Strong Interest Invetory, be sure to take the form you were assigned (1994 or Newly Revised) in your Online Testing Instructions.

  6. Click on Done when you are finished. At the next screen, you will be provided with a User ID number.
    • If you are completely finished, select I’m Done. Click only once, and wait a few moments for your results to be processed. You may then close out of the following window and return to the MDA website. Your results will be automatically sent to MDA via the Internet.
    • If you have begun an inventory and wish to resume at a later time, write down the User ID number. You will need it when you return to complete the inventory (see step #7). You may close out of the window after you have recorded your User ID number.
  7. To resume a previous test, repeat these instructions—but instead of leaving the User ID field blank in step #2, type in your User ID from step #6.
  8. To take another inventory assigned in your Online Testing Instructions, return to the MDA website and click to the “Assessment Center“

C-suite Selection and Succession: Delivering Leadership Excellence for the Future

MDA Leadership helps CEOs articulate executive leadership needs, identify top talent, and accelerate C-suite transitions.

Senior Executive Blueprinting ™
Succession planning begins at the top. CEOs, in partnership with human resources and their boards, must think carefully about the talent they need for the future in key leadership roles. Similar to CEO Blueprinting™, MDA Leadership helps our clients articulate the executive leadership they will need to successfully navigate emerging business challenges and drive evolving strategies.
C-suite Selection and Succession
Not all C-suite hires and promotions achieve success. We help CEOs select the right executives by bringing an informed, experienced, and objective voice to the table. Based on a CEO’s criteria and an organization’s norms, we assess and analyze executive candidates to provide definitive and well-grounded promotion and hiring recommendations.
C-Suite Transitions
About 60% of executives say they were not prepared for the strategic challenges they faced in their new senior leadership roles.3 MDA Leadership accelerates effective transition into the C-suite. Through a unique discovery process, we help executives gain deep insight into what it will take to be successful given stakeholder expectations, team dynamics, and the nuances of C-suite leadership. Our seasoned coaches guide leaders in designing and executing highly relevant and engaging onboarding plans.

Board Services: Enhancing Board Effectiveness

MDA Leadership helps boards strengthen their governance roles and internal dynamics.

Board Evaluations
Most boards are required to evaluate their own performance on an annual basis—an exercise that can range from “checking the box” to an experience that truly engages board members in the right conversations. Our services include full board evaluations, individual director reviews, peer feedback, chair role transitions, and action planning.
Board and CEO Consultation
Creating strong board and CEO collaboration requires mutual trust and respect. Forging and maintaining productive relationships cannot be left to chance. MDA Leadership provides trusted advisor consultation for CEOs and their boards to foster alignment in critical areas such as decision-making, role clarity, governance, and communication.
CEO Coaching and Trusted Advisor Consultation
Two-thirds of CEOs don’t receive any outside advice on their leadership skills, and yet almost all would be receptive to suggestions from a coach.4 Since a one-size-fits-all playbook for CEOs doesn’t exist, MDA Leadership provides CEO coaching. Whether business performance is hitting the mark or not, even seasoned CEOs benefit from the safe place and counsel we provide to help them evolve their leadership.

Let’s begin a conversation.

At MDA Leadership, we know there are no one-size-fits-all solutions for every organization. We take the time to get to know your business and your leadership needs and recommend a range of options that are the best fit for your growth goals. Let's see how MDA Leadership can optimize your Talent Strategy for the Long Run®.
