User Voice: Section Manager at a Major Trading Company (5,000 employees, 20 subordinates)

What I first felt after taking the 5D Profile Diagnosis was the importance of understanding my strengths and challenge points from an “objective perspective.”

Self-evaluations inevitably contain subjectivity and assumptions, but through this diagnosis I clearly saw my true self for the first time. What was particularly impressive was that the way I routinely handled work and contributed to the team was highly evaluated as “Creative Problem-Solving Ability (New)” and “Transformation Promotion Ability★★,” new capability indicators that have become important in recent years and are not provided by other assessments. When strengths I hadn’t even been aware of were shown as data, I thought, “I see—this was my strength,” which was a new discovery.

This diagnosis helped me become clearly aware of previously unconscious abilities, which led to great confidence. I also feel I can now better support subordinate development. I used to expect others to “learn by watching,” but now I can verbally explain “which abilities are strengths” based on the diagnosis, and subordinates are more convinced and proactive about their growth.

In addition, abilities I had not been conscious of—such as “Critical Thinking Ability★★,” “Leadership Ability★,” and “Psychological Safety Promotion Ability (New)★”—were objectively presented through scores and concrete feedback. Among those, the traits rated “★★” are generally difficult to master, and realizing that I naturally demonstrate them made me determined to develop them further.

Another strength of the 5D Profile Diagnosis is the thorough feedback on personality traits and tendencies. In team management using the results, points for relationships and communication with subordinates were presented concretely, which was extremely helpful for 1-on-1 meetings and reviewing my role. By clarifying “in what situations Creativity and Leadership are more easily demonstrated” and “in what situations Resilience Ability and Agility Ability (New) are required,” I felt my perspective on my future work and career opened up dramatically.

Through this diagnosis, I not only discovered my strengths and potential but also met the “real me” I had not yet noticed, gaining many hints on how to leverage it. It gave me a safe opportunity to reflect on myself.

I have taken several companies’ aptitude assessments so far, but compared with others, the 5D Profile Diagnosis offered surprisingly thorough and very specific feedback and advice.

It not only tells you your “strengths,” but also clearly describes what you should challenge next—especially regarding relationships with subordinates. This is what I felt was significantly different from previous assessments. I myself am a younger manager supervising older subordinates, so I often need to be considerate and sometimes struggle with how to interact. However, this diagnosis provides objective aptitude reports not only for myself but also for each subordinate, making it very clear “how to engage with each person.”
Since it concretely shows each subordinate’s type and key communication points, I can now face them with greater Integrity.

What helped most were the concrete suggestions on challenge items. My issues had been vague, but the report included practical hints such as “watch this point” and “use this strength in this way,” which I was able to apply immediately to management.
For example, there were convincing, concrete examples of “OK communication with subordinates,” and the “NG communication with subordinates” revealed important points for reflection.
Because each subordinate also receives an individual aptitude report, they can easily understand their own strengths and challenges. Bringing our results to discussions has made workplace communication more open, and I feel it has contributed to building trust.

For me, this diagnosis was not just an evaluation of results—it was a major opportunity to think positively about organizational relationships and management. Going forward, I want to continue building a better team while respecting each subordinate’s individuality and strengths.
