People matter-people differ. While we are all different we can assemble people into groups with common behavioural characteristics in order to begin to understand them. Carl Gustav Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist popularised this approach through his theory of psychological type where he describes the traits of introversion, extraversion, thinking and feeling. Virtually all comprehensive personality trait analysis models used today include Jung’s concepts.
Gordon Willard Allport an American psychologist was one of the first psychologists to focus on the study of the personality, and is often referred to as one of the founding figures of personality psychology. He contributed to the formation of Values Scales and rejected a behavioural approach, which he thought often did not go deep enough.
People share similar traits; the traits indicate behavioural and motivational tendencies, the tendencies point towards inherent skills and interests and suggest motivation toward or away from certain situations or activities.
Today there are many organisations offering behavioural assessment for adults and a much smaller number of organisations offering motivational assessments. However there are very few organisations that offer a combination of both. On their own the these two subjects are complex, often requiring input from an expert. Putting them together in one easy to use package that does not require an expert and provides young people their parents, carers and teachers with valuable easy to understand insights has been our work over the past 10 years.
Today we have created an on-line system that parents, carers and teachers can use to easily identify young peoples:
· Learning style
· Their inherent skills
· What motivates them
· What their self-skill learning needs are
· Their self-awareness, self-confidence and self-belief level and measure improvement
· Ideal educational and career pathways
