The Questions
Why would I want to do a thinking profile anyway?
There are many reasons to use as motivation. Everyone’s circumstances and reasons would be specific to attaining their own goals. It is common these days among athletes and sports teams to use mental coaches to give them the edge since physical training can accomplish just so much.
Some use it as a last resort to save a relationship. Some use it as a measure to improve their employability and even include the report in their CV to prove they’re the best candidate for a job applied for. Some use it to solve family conflict. Some use it to understand a team member at work better. Some use it to choose the best suited subjects at school. Some use it to find the perfectly suited job or to discover whether they’re in the totally wrong job.
You can also have the edge in dealing with that difficult boss, that intimidating child at school, that testing family member…
Management had us do a similar test at work, how is this different?
This test measures 16 elements of your thinking style. Some parts of this test you may find could be similar - bosses look at productivity; they use tests like these as part of a strategy; they gather intel on their employees which could assist them in dealing with difficult employees, BUT also as an indicator of who is in the wrong position; who “The Deadwood” is… You may even find that there is a perfect position for you at your company where you would be infinitely more happy and productive.
The biggest difference here would be that you’d be doing it for yourself to help you grow and master yourself as a person.
Would I need to meet with anyone?
No. You can do the test online and receive the results without a consultation or any human interaction, if you prefer.
So what happens after I’ve done the test?
That is up to you. How you apply what you’ve learned about yourself can be a personal mission or, with my guidance, we can sort out some of your issues. The test report could end up being just a piece of paper to you or it could be an invaluable tool to set a plan of action into motion.
Do you also do consultations?
Yes. The best overall benefit lies in doing a consultation together with the test. During the consultation we can run through a number of scenarios and how your new knowledge can be an advantage in responding to each. Practical application in everyday life always works best and I even offer follow-up assistance to help you implement your knowledge.
Do you offer any other tests?
Yes. For those persons that request a consultation I also offer a basic Locus of Control test to assist us both in figuring the What, Why, Where and When of their lives and how to improve and enhance their general wellbeing. The Locus of Control test is a summary of your outlook on life and together with the Thinking Profile it’s a lethal combination that can deliver astounding results.
Are you a psychologist or psychiatrist?
No. I have a very deep interest in people; how they are influenced by their own thoughts; how others impact on them; how they fill their space in the world. Psychologists and psychiatrists also do tests, you never see the results and more often than not they just go “Errrmm…”, “Ahhh…” and “How does that make you feel?”. You seldom get feedback about what they’re thinking and all the while they’re making notes while analysing you - you may even feel “inspected”. I will always give you straight answers, there’s a difference.
I believe in feedback - the more the better. I believe in questions - the more the better. How else would you know you’re experiencing a benefit or missing out on a benefit. It’s about YOU, remember?
This all seems like Mambo Jumbo to me - convince me!
I won’t judge that your attitude is right or wrong - merely that it possibly has not proven beneficial in many aspects of your life, am I right?. I can guide you onto a path where you can discover how to fix that. Tests like these are not meant for everybody so I try my best to assist those that see the potential benefits and help them to enhance their lives.
To hard-sell a product is tantamount to chasing down a profit - this is not my goal. My time is best spent uplifting those that want to achieve better, work smarter, accomplish more and be more comfortable in their own skin. A small seed was planted in your mind and that is why you visited this page - let it grow some more…and contact me you’ve convinced yourself ;o)
Are you a Life Coach?
No. I use elements of many disciplines in such a unique combination that a typical custom-fit solution does not fit in any one box.
