Here is how Assessments works in CoachNexa, step by step.
-
Open Assessments
Click Assessments in the sidebar. You'll see the full library of built-in assessments (ICA, DISC, Values, SWOT, Goals, Purpose, Ikigai, Niche Finder) and any custom ones you've created.
-
Choose an assessment for a client
Click on an assessment to see its description and what insights it produces. Click Assign to Client and select which client should complete it.
-
Send the assignment
The client receives a notification and sees the assessment in their portal. It guides them step-by-step through the questions.
-
Review the completed results
Once the client submits, you receive a notification. Click the client's completed assessment to see their full report with scores and insights.
-
Use results in your sessions
The insights from assessments (e.g. DISC profile, top values, SWOT analysis) are visible on the client's profile permanently — reference them in any future session.
-
Share results with the client
Click Share Report with Client to make the assessment results visible in their portal. Clients often find these insights transformative.
-
Create a custom assessment
Click + New Assessment to build your own questionnaire with custom questions, scoring and categories.
-
What your client sees — Client receives an assessment notification
When you assign an assessment, the client gets an email notification and sees it on their Assessments page in the portal with a Pending badge.
-
What your client sees — Client completes the assessment step by step
The assessment guides the client through each question at their own pace. They can save progress and return later — it doesn't need to be completed in one sitting.
-
What your client sees — Coach is notified when complete
When the client submits, you receive a notification and the assessment moves to Completed in your list. You can then view the full report and choose to share it back with the client.
Tip: Start every new client relationship with the ICA Life Assessment — it gives you a baseline across all life areas to inform your coaching. Tip: Assessments are reusable — you can reassign the same assessment after 3–6 months to show growth over time. Heads-up: Assessment results are private by default — the client cannot see them until you explicitly share the report.
