Personality

Personality can be identified through numerous frameworks, which provide insight into how people may show up in different situations.

We know that our subconscious mind is very active. While most people are aware that activities such as breathing, walking and driving are automated by the brain, what many don’t realise is that we also have default behaviours that are automated by the brain.

This means that how people show up in a situation is often determined by these default behaviours (or personality traits), rather than by any conscious thought or decision on their part.

If we consider some personality lenses, such as:

• head, heart or gut
• social, one-to-one or self-preservation
• past-, present- or future-focused
• withdrawn, compliant or assertive stances

we start to see that people may show up in very different ways. When you combine these lenses, you can identify up to 27 different personality styles.

There are also 87 human emotions that show up in our lives — emotions that are often more prevalent for heart-focused people, and to a lesser extent for thinkers and doers. And yet, according to Brené Brown, most people can only identify three emotions.

Th1nk helps people recognise their default patterns and understand how these default patterns show up in different contexts — for example, in times of stress, in spacious moments, in groups or in one-to-one interactions.

We also help teams map out who is on the team, how the combination of personalities may show up in interactions between colleagues, and how this could help or hinder the teams.
