What Our Clients Say
author of "On Becoming A Leader."
Personalysis Corporation has developed a most unique and powerful instrument called Personalysis. Disarmingly simple to take - I finished the questionnaire in about 15 minutes; my daughter, obviously a faster reader, completed hers in 12 - it reveals an enormous amount of fascinating and useful data. On top of that, it's self-administering and makes just about any other psychological test you've ever taken seem like arcane psychobabble.
Just for the fun of it, I "took" the Personalysis and shortly became so enthusiastic that I got my own family members, my closest friend and colleagues to take it and then asked a Personalysis consultant to interpret the results for me. You see, my aim was to learn to use the instrument in my own educational, training and counseling activities.
Since then, I've used it with several CEO's I'm counseling and with a group of senior managers that I meet with on occasion plus several top management teams.
I'm still learning, by the way, because while Personalysis is easy to use - it's extremely "user friendly" - it generates such rich and subtly nuanced data that it takes some doing to really wring it dry of all the implications it serves up. Let me put it this way, Personalysis is the only instrument I know of that produces valid and useful self-knowledge. It provides a looking-glass self that reveals our personal and managerial styles, the stressors and frustrations that block us from working at our top potential but that we usually shrug off, and those feelings (and behaviors) that interfere with creative relationships.
On top of that, when used in organizational settings, it's a magnificent way to look at compatibilities and "disconnects" in work groups. For example, a top management group I'd been working with for some time never attained the kind of cohesiveness and compatibility necessary to achieve their goals. When we analyzed and interpreted their scores, it became obvious that their leader was totally out of "sync" with his team's basic needs. All of this benefit with no risk and, as I've said, devoid of the arid jargon.
I don't go around volunteering to write testimonials, even for good friends. In this case, I asked if I could. Now they're giving me bragging rights which they, out of modesty, would never claim.
Here's a hint of what to expect: If Newton, as Blake said, took "colour out of the rainbow," then Personalysis put it back in with a flourish, with unbridled lucidity, and with a gift of understanding what human nature is all about and how best to deploy it to further our aspirations.
