What is Belbin?
Belbin Team Roles is a behavioural assessment that identifies how individuals are most likely to behave within a team.
Developed through extensive research into team performance, the Belbin model identifies nine Team Roles, each making a unique contribution to team success.
Understanding these roles helps organisations create balanced teams, improve communication and maximise the strengths of every individual.​​

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Belbin a personality assessment?
No. Belbin measures behavioural contributions within teams rather than personality traits. Personality is one of many factors that can influence behaviour.
​
How does the Belbin Assessment work?
Individuals first complete the Self-Perception Inventory (SPI) which takes approximately 20 minutes. The Belbin Individual Report can then be downloaded.
​
They can then invite up to 6 of their colleagues to complete a short, 5-minute questionnaire called an Observer Assessment. Once a minimum of 4 observers provide feedback, an updated Belbin Individual Report can be downloaded (at no extra cost).
​
You can download a sample report here.
​
Upon receiving the report, Psysoft can provide feedback to individuals, or deliver team development workshops to help people understand and apply the insights from their reports.
​
Can Belbin be used with existing teams?
Yes. Many organisations use Belbin to improve collaboration within established teams as well as when creating new teams.
​
Does Belbin include 360° feedback?
Yes. Belbin includes Observer Assessments which allow colleagues to provide valuable feedback, creating a more rounded picture of an individual's contribution to the team and helping them develop greater self-awareness.
​
Can Psysoft facilitate Belbin team roles workshops?
Yes. We can manage the entire process, from assessment administration through to facilitated team development workshops using the Belbin assessments.
