Definition personality profile
The personality profile is a combination of personality traits. These are usually determined via a personality test and show how a person behaves or is most likely to behave in a particular situation. Personality profiles are used in a wide variety of areas. Whether in consulting, coaching, as a leader in companies or to assess personal strength and behavior in private life. Each profile is individual and reflects a very unique type.
What are the personality profiles?
One of the best-known personality tests for creating a personality profile is the DISG model, which then results in the DiSG personality profile. It describes four different basic types of personality. The person is assigned to a color: red, yellow, blue, green. In DISG, red stands for a person who likes challenges, is decisive, competitive and determined, and feels superior to those around him. The yellow type in the DiSG profile also feels superior, at least intellectually. Typical for him are his enthusiasm, sociability and exuberance. Both are considered extraverted. In their behavior, however, they differ in that the red type is task-oriented and the yellow is people-oriented. Further, there are people who are assigned to the color green. They are considered social, are good listeners and are characterized by stability and modesty. Blue personality types are analytical in their approach and work with great attention to detail. They are considered conscientious and like to work in regular routines. Both green and blue are introverts. Besides DISG, there are other personality tests and models on different personality types.
Personality profiles in companies
Personality profiles are becoming increasingly important in business. Many organizations no longer base the competence of managers and employees on purely technical knowledge, but also on what they are like as people. Personality is an important factor in the business environment - in both a positive and negative sense. For example, conflicts between employees, managers or at the executive level are often due to personality. For this reason, it is increasingly important to create a meaningful profile that helps to better know one's own personality as well as that of other people in the company. Based on the evaluation, a better understanding develops, personal communication can take place differently and people can be better deployed in the company.
Personality profile based on the RMP
The Reiss Motivation Profile® sheds light on the 16 life motives that determine our lives. They are deeply rooted in each of us and provide information about what drives and motivates us at our core. Our own behavior can be better assessed by means of the RMP. It has the ability to help us personally and professionally to shape our lives. A great strength is the scientific foundation of the RMP. Through countless studies with thousands of participants, Steven Reiss identified a total of 16 psychological needs that everyone carries within themselves. These needs are subsequently referred to as life motives. Life motives must be satisfied in order for us to find our lives meaningful. They are predominantly shaped by our genes, but also by our experiences in childhood and early adolescence, and, according to previous findings, remain fairly constant throughout our lives. Thus, they provide us with a lasting orientation. Another strength of the RMP is that, unlike many other personality tests, it captures a person's complete motivational, drive, and value structure. Thus, it provides clarity, insight, orientation and awareness for a successful private and professional life.
