mentor.fit

  • Fit is the research process of examining entities to discover similarities, differences, and compatibilities along identifiable dimensions.

  • Mentor fit is an indicator of the balance of desirable similarities and desirable differences between a potential Mentor | Mentee connection.

  • To calculate Mentor fit, Kettera analyzes up to twenty-three dimensions of each Mentor and Mentee profile for similarities and differences. The number of dimensions analyzed, depends on how detailed you want the mentor fit analysis to be. The types of profile information Kettera analyzes in the 23 dimensions includes: program objectives, experience, education, skills, industry, occupation, similar to me effect, likability, hobbies, interests, complementary character traits, correlating character traits, development skills, and goals.

  • Mentor fit matters because the most important part of any mentorship program is the quality of the Mentor | Mentee matches made. If the two people connected do not have the right balance of similarities and differences, then their pairing will not be successful.

    Manually assessing the fit of a mentorship pairing is inefficient and often ineffective. Kettera analyzes, ranks, and provides detailed insights into mentor fit – instantly.

  • Kettera spent 3 years researching, refining, and testing our mentor.fit tool. We collaborated with leaders at multinational corporations, researchers at top tier universities, and experts across North America.

    The mentor.fit tool has also been tested for efficacy amongst individuals with diverse demographic, ethnic, age, experience, and education backgrounds.
