The Personality Compass (PCTI)

Do You Have Personality Clashes in Your Workplace?

We all understand the impact of personality clashes in the workplace and at home. When we can’t get on with someone it is often the result of our inherent personality type, how we are ‘hard wired’. Often seemingly petty issues can cause great resistance and opposition as we defend what we believe is ‘right’.

Insight into one’s own nature and that of others is arguably the most important requirement for creating successful and productive relationships in the workplace, and at home. It is fundamental to leading, mentoring, coaching, teamwork, problem solving and other essential skills, and therefore the foundation of engagement, collaboration and high-performance.

Create a Remarkable Team by Understanding Personality Types

The Personality Compass is a tool that can help you learn about yourself and others. If for example you could understand the attributes and needs of someone who is really detail oriented, then you can support them in a number of ways because you know what makes them tick.
The Personality Compass is a powerful tool for developing self-insight and practical understanding of human behaviour. As such, it is especially relevant to businesses that are concerned about developing ‘emotional intelligence’ and leadership.
The PCTI offers a wide range of potential uses and benefits. Here are some of the top benefits our clients have received from using the PCTI:

  • Better match of people and jobs.
  • Enhanced interpersonal skills across the business.
  • Higher level self-awareness and ‘emotional intelligence’.
  • Improved leadership and coaching competence.
  • Demonstrated the value of diversity within a department or a team.
  • Developed a more supportive and productive work environment.
  • Brought about change more smoothly and successfully.
  • Vastly reduced conflict level in the workplace.
  • Improved verbal and written communication.

How is PCTI Different to Other Personality - Type Instruments?

What distinguishes the PCTI from other personality-type instruments and models is its ease of application and effectiveness. Many business owners are saying that the PCTI is the simplest, most practical and most helpful personality diagnostic instrument they have ever used.

The PCTI is sophisticated enough to capture “reality”, yet the type classification is easy to learn, easy to remember, and easy to apply. In fact, the Compass model is so simple it can be quickly learnt, instantly recalled, and applied with impact on a daily basis. Understanding and applying personality type has never been so logical and straightforward.

How PCTI Works

As the name suggests, the Personality Compass very cleverly uses a compass analogy to reveal four basic orientations or personality types (N, S, E and W) and eight compass points (combinations). Every personality has aspects of all four orientations, but one will be dominant. The model is based on extensive research.
The four key characteristics of the model are:

  • It is a powerful analogy of four basic personality types (North, South, East and West), therefore really easy to remember and use.
  • It provides a practical language for communicating about personality types, their traits or behaviour.
  • The overlapping of directions (NE, SW, etc.) makes it obvious that the human personality is a combination of overlapping characteristics.
  • It clearly conveys why opposite natures are more prone to conflict, while those that are adjacent on the Compass are more compatible.
