Leveraging Uniqueness To Achieve Your Goals
Innovachange utilises a variety of psychometric personality self-report tools that are assessments of typical performance that aim to highlight personality characteristics, natural preferences or behaviour, as an aid to developmental insight.
Discover insights into your:
Leadership, partnerships and teamwork.
Introversion or extroversion.
Approach to achieving results and decision making.
Way of taking in information through senses in the here and now or through the big picture and future possibilities.
Level of satisfaction and reaching your potential.
Conflict handling style.
Wondering if you're an innovator, visualiser, implementer or supporter?
Participants complete an online questionnaire and receive an individual report profiling their personality traits or type with facilitated feedback from a (BPS British Psychological Society) qualified practitioner.
The foundations underlying personality psychometric tools are generally based on trait or type theories that identify independent characteristics of common behavior that all people display but to differing degrees or group traits together into personality types.

Myers Briggs Type Indicator
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI) is a personality tool that enables people to establish a greater understanding of themselves, identify their natural innate personality preferences, motivations, strengths and unique gifts.
The perspective of the theory is that by using this awareness and functioning from preferred characteristics, people generally perform to their best and feel most competent, natural and energetic, with their life and/or with their work.
It can also increase awareness into relationships with others as well as response to stress, misunderstandings and communication difficulties.
The tool provides a platform for generating increased awareness into:
What enhances and stimulates your energy (interacting with others or through quiet reflection)
Whether you take a detailed-oriented approach to information or are drawn to the big picture
Whether you take an analytical approach to decision-making or focus on values-based decisions and how your decisions impact others
Whether you prefer to make and stick to plans or take a less structured approach keeping your options open
The MBTI is based on Carl G. Jung's theory of psychological types and indicates differences in people that result from four pairs of opposites in personalities: opposite ways of using energy, perception, judgment and orienting to the outside world. It is based on the concept that everyone has a natural preference for one of each pair of opposites and together these four preferences create sixteen different personality types.
Each MBTI personality type is unique in two ways: it is made up of a particular combination of preferences and uses psychological energy in a specific way.
Developed by Katharine Cook Briggs (1875-1968) and Isabel Briggs Myers (1897-1980), the MBTI tool is widely used with self-development, leadership development, career development and exploration, team-building, organisational development, stress management and relationship-counselling.
The tool involves completing an online assessment to identify your preferences and determine your four-letter personality type. It is not a test and there is no such thing as a right or wrong type. You receive facilitated feedback from a (BPS British Psychological Society) qualified practitioner via an online video conference call and a copy of the profile report is emailed to you.
There are multiple MBTI reports to choose from including:

California Personality Inventory
The California Psychological Inventory® (CPI 260) is an in-depth personality assessment measuring personal and professional characteristics, motivations and thinking styles, self-management and dealing with others along with preferences, attitudes and behaviours in key dimensions of management and leadership.
It supports leadership development, performance improvement, coaching high potentials, executive selection and executive coaching.
CPI 260 Client Feedback Report
includes information about your approach to life, how you see yourself, and how you compare to others on characteristics that are important at work and in everyday living. The goal of the report is to provide as accurate a picture as possible, one that will help you to understand yourself and to achieve your own personal objectives. Interpretation of the CPI 260 instrument begins with three basic orientations:
Toward other people and interpersonal experience
Toward conventional rules and values
Toward one’s inner feelings (self-realisation and level of satisfaction)
The first two orientations are expressed in observable behaviour.
The third deals with feelings of self-realisation and level of satisfaction. Each of these orientations is assessed by a separate measure. The first two measures, when considered together, define four ways of living, or lifestyles, and how the participant functions at their best.
The four lifestyles:
Implementer
Supporter
Innovator
Visualiser
On the first measure, implications range from a liking for social participation, pleasure in the company of others, and an active interpersonal style at one pole, to a desire for privacy, and a reserved and quiet social manner at the other.
The second goes from rule-testing and even rule-breaking behaviour at one end, to rule-respecting and even conformist behaviour at the other.
The third measure shows how you feel about yourself, and how sure or unsure you are about your ability to cope with the problems and opportunities you encounter in your own life.
Scores are shown on 26 personality scales grouped into five broad categories:
Dealing with others
Self-management
Motivations and thinking style
Personal characteristics
Work-related measures
The report contains:
A lifestyle report showing how the individual is perceived by others
A level of satisfaction review that identifies if the individual feels their potential is being reached
Detailed results on the individual’s scores in the five broad categories

Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument
The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode instrument (TKI) assesses your approach to conflict situations against five conflict-handling modes that are devised from two key dimensions:
Assertiveness (the extent to which they attempt to satisfy their own concerns) and
Cooperativeness (the extent to which they attempt to satisfy other peoples’ concerns).
The five conflict-handling modes measured are:
Competing
Collaborating
Compromising
Avoiding
Accommodating
The tool follows the concept that people are capable of using all five conflict-handling modes and that different approaches work better in different circumstances and with awareness of one’s most frequently used response it can aid the process of choosing one’s preferred approach according to the context.
TKI Profile and Interpretive Report
provides feedback on your conflict-handling modes, beginning with your most frequently used approach to conflict situations. To help you judge how appropriate your use of each of the five modes is for your situation, the report outlines a number of uses for each mode, with reflective questions to ask yourself to help you determine if you're over-using or under-using the approach. It provides information on the contextual use for each approach with the goal of aiding you to choose how you use each of the five approaches.
The tool supports conflict management, effective decision-making, interpersonal skills development, team development, influencing and negotiating skills development, executive coaching, etc.

Pearson-Marr Archetype Indicator
The Pearson-Marr Archetype Indicator® (PMAI) is based on Carl G. Jung's theory on psychological archetypes and measures the influence of twelve archetypal patterns in the individual’s life.
Jung considers archetypes to be the original blueprint of psychological structures presented in symbols and images contained in the collective unconscious and expressed in myths, art, literature and dreams. He considers myths to be a direct expression of the collective unconscious, the source of the collective creative and repressed essence of mankind, and a fundamental expression of human nature. His theory presents a perspective that understanding influential archetypes in one’s life can reveal one’s most important desires, motivations and goals, unrealized potential and the logic and importance of one’s life.
The PMAI tool follows the concept that the life story or myth is the tale people repeatedly tell themselves about who they are, what they desire, what they can and cannot do. With awareness of the influence of archetypal patterns individuals can consciously choose which archetypal attributes to use and develop in a personal and professional context. The tool measures the influence of twelve archetypes considered to be common characters present in life stories:
Innocent, Orphan, Caregiver, Warrior - which help you, others, and the species to survive.
Seeker, Lover, Destroyer, Creator - which help you and others find yourselves and express your gifts.
Ruler, Magician, Sage and Jester - which help you and others live authentically, making a positive contribution to the world whilst also experiencing personal fulfillment.
PMAI Archetype Report
provides feedback contained in archetypal descriptions and graphically ranks the individual’s scores against the twelve archetypes. It provides descriptions of the three archetypes with the highest results likely to currently have the most active influence in the individual’s life and a description of the archetype with the lowest score considered to be the ‘shadow’ archetype likely to be the least expressed.
