Lenses

The Leadership Dashboard uses multiple lenses that each provide a unique perspective on human cognition, emotion, and personality. While no single behavioral model can fully explain the complexity of humans, each lens offers insights into ourselves, and others, and how we can improve our effectiveness as individuals and teams. Lenses are selected based on the needs of the team, and multiple lenses can be integrated over time to provide a holistic, multi-lens perspective.

Based on the original work of Carl Jung and expanded by Isabel Myers, the personality type model offers deep insights based on our orientation to the world, the way we perceive information and how we judge that information and make decisions. Millions of people around the world have used traditional personality type assessments, such as the MBTI® to better understand themselves and others.

Performance Five

Performance Five is based on the analysis of decades of personality research.  The scientific community supports five traits (sometimes referred to as the Big Five®) as foundational to understanding personality. The Performance Five assessment incorporates the latest personality trait research and allows you to view your assessments results across 5 primary traits and 30 subtraits, as well as consider the characteristics of your blended personality pattern.

That pattern drives our orientation to and perceptions of the world around us, as well as how we cognitively process information, make decisions, and pursue goals. Matrix Insights puts the five traits into action, taking this popular model to a whole new level of individual and team development.
