The ACE Preferences: A Breakthrough Assessment for Success and Human Development

Success Happens in Phases - The ACE Preference Assessment Helps You Master Them

Success is not about who you are - it’s about how you engage with challenges, generate solutions, and take action.

No matter what the goal is - launching a business, leading a team, solving a problem, or achieving personal growth - success moves through three essential phases:

  • Addressing challenges – Spotting opportunities, defining problems, and asking the right questions.
  • Creating solutions – Generating ideas, designing strategies, and exploring possibilities.
  • Executing plans – Taking decisive action, ensuring follow-through, and making things happen.

Most existing assessments focus on personality, behavior, or static traits. The ACE Preference Profile is different - it reveals how you move through these phases and where you might need to develop more flexibility.

Until now, no assessment has focused on success as a process. The ACE Preference Profile is the first to measure how you engage with these phases and where you may need to strengthen your approach. It is designed to help you reflect, take action, and make real improvements in how you work, lead, and collaborate.


Why the ACE Preferences?

A New Perspective on Success

Traditional assessments often focus on attaching labels and fixed personality types. The ACE Preference Assessment is different - it helps you reflect on how you engage with success and where you can grow.

This profile was developed after working with thousands of leaders, teams, and organizations using the ACE it! Method, a structured approach to problem-solving and innovation. Whether it’s a startup founder bringing a bold idea to market, a product manager launching a new feature, an athlete optimizing their training regimen, or a nonprofit leader driving social impact, success consistently moves through three phases - Address, Create, and Execute.

However, not everyone engages with these phases equally. Some people love generating ideas but struggle with execution, while others move straight to action without fully considering creative alternatives.

Through real-world applications, we’ve seen how individuals and teams tend to lean into certain phases while overlooking others, often leading to stalled progress or missed opportunities. 

The ACE Preference Assessment helps make these patterns visible and offers a clear pathway for improvement for you to become more adaptable - so you can be effective in any situation.

How it Works

The ACE Preferences Assessment is a quick, straightforward tool designed to help individuals identify their success approach.

The Questionnaire, Measuring Success Strengths:

The questionnaire utilizes a quantitative approach to assess process strengths across the three key success phases: 1. Address, 2. Create, 3. Execute. Participants rate their competencies on a 1 to 5 scale, generating clear numerical insights into areas crucial for success.

Here’s how it works:

1. Assessment: Users complete their assessment in 5–10 minutes using an intuitive system that guides them step by step. At the end, they have the option to request additional reports (see below).

2. Report Generation: Upon submission, the system automatically compiles a detailed individual report.

3. Report Delivery: The base report is sent directly to the user, providing:

  • Key process strengths
  • Areas for growth
  • Team dynamics
  • Personalized recommendations

Users who opt for additional reports receive tailored insights based on their specific roles or interests.

The Science and Practice Behind the ACE Preference Assessment

1. The Foundations of Success in Phases

The idea that success unfolds in phases is not new - great thinkers like Aristotle already recognized that progress follows a structured path. From strategic decision-making in business to creative problem-solving in innovation, success consistently involves identifying challenges (Address), generating ideas (Create), and making things happen (Execute). While many leadership and performance models focus on static traits, the ACE Preference Profile captures this dynamic process in a structured, accessible way.

2. Built on Thousands of Real-World Applications

The ACE Preference Profile isn’t just based on theory - it has been refined through thousands of assessments, coaching sessions, and leadership applications worldwide. It emerged from years of hands-on experience working with leaders, teams, and organizations across industries, from financial institutions on Wall Street to micro-entrepreneurs in rural Kenya. Through these applications, we saw patterns emerge: people tend to lean into certain phases of success while overlooking others, and these preferences can make or break outcomes, especially under pressure.

3. The ACE it! Method as a Practical Framework

The ACE Preference Profile doesn’t just stop at awareness - it’s integrated with the ACE it! Method, a structured approach that helps individuals and teams develop the phases where they need the most growth.
