The Princeton Review integrated Birkman into their career guides praising its affinity to elevate personal productivity. Here's what they say:

The Birkman Method® is
". . . the most effective instrument for personal and organizational development. It is not a psychological clinical assessment, but instead profiles behavior of normal, functioning people. Many other professional aptitude assessment instruments in the marketplace today began as psychological assessment tools for use in diagnosing problems (MMPI, 16PF). Others rephrase your answers in their terminologies (Strong Campbell, DISC) or label you in off the shelf categories (Myers-Briggs). No other assessment instrument offers the depth of the Birkman Method®."
