Insights Discovery is a psychometric tool based which uses a four-colour model to highlight key personality preferences and associated behaviours. The best thing about Insights Discovery is that it shows us how we prefer to act - or the space we’re most comfortable in – but it reminds us that personality is fluid; every individual can draw on their less inclined behaviours to handle the demands of specific situations. The tool is hugely popular within businesses and can be used for individual performance development or wider team development. It increases self-awareness, improves communication, decision-making and ultimately performance.
