Your Insights Discovery Wheel Explained
This brief summary of your personal style is based upon the theory of personality outlined by Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung in 1921. His work on psychological types has informed much of the research into personality types and working styles since then and continues to have a strong influence on psychometric profiling, including our Insights Discovery model.
Given the complexity of human behaviour, models of personality seek to simplify who we are into easily recognised psychological types. While much of the uniqueness of human beings is inevitably impossible to grasp, these definitions provided to us by the colour personality quiz gives an excellent framework and language which can help us understand why we behave the way we do and how different types can both clash with and complement one another.
The phrase we most often hear when people read their personal profile after completing the Insights Discovery model is “Scarily accurate!”, and we’re confident you’ll find more than enough information in there to help give your personal and professional development a boost.
