Written by DS Admin | Dec 4, 2014 10:08:48 AM


The Insights Discovery Personal Profile is produced from responses to a 25-frame evaluator. Your Insights Profile is unique to you and measures your preferred way of working and communicating through the medium of Insights Discovery. The Insights Discovery Profile is shaped by the 4 colour energies of behaviour. These make the model easy to understand and therefore use in practical day-to-day applications.
