An Insights Discovery profile is a psychometric tool that helps people understand their own personality and behaviour, as well as the personalities and behaviours of others.
It is based on the work of Carl Jung, who identified four personality types: Red, Yellow, Blue, and Green.
It’s a valuable tool for personal development, team building, and conflict resolution. It can help you to:
- Understand your own strengths and weaknesses
- Identify your preferred way of working and communicating
- Learn how to work more effectively with others
- Build stronger relationships
- Resolve conflict more effectively
What is the Insights Discovery model?
The Insights Discovery model is based on the four personality types identified by Carl Jung:
- Red: Assertive, outgoing, and results-orientated
- Blue: Analytical, organized, and detail-orientated
- Green: Cooperative, people and relationship orientated
- Yellow: Enthusiastic, creative, and visionary
Each personality type has its own strengths and weaknesses. For example, Red types are typically good at motivating others and driving projects forward, but they can sometimes be seen as impatient or aggressive. Blues are typically good at organizing and managing resources, but they can sometimes be seen as inflexible or controlling. Green types are typically good at building relationships and resolving conflict, but they can sometimes be seen as indecisive or passive. Yellows are typically good at generating new ideas and coming up with creative solutions, but they can sometimes be seen as scattered or unfocused.
