Why Motivational Maps are "Better" than Personality Tests

As  Motivational Map Practitioners, we love making a difference for our clients.


As Motivational Map Practitioners, we're passionate about making a real difference for our clients. And while the title suggests that Motivational Maps are "better" than personality profiling tools, it's not about choosing one over the other. Instead, it's about understanding how Motivational Maps can uniquely enhance coaching when combined with personality profiles. Together, they offer a dynamic and comprehensive view—both the ever-changing motivators and the steadfast personality traits—that empowers individuals and teams like never before.

Dynamic Motivators vs. Static Personality Traits

Did you know that what drives you today might not be the same tomorrow?

Motivational Maps tap into these dynamic motivators, reflecting the evolving nature of what truly drives individuals over time.


On the flip side, personality profiles assess static traits, helping us understand inherent characteristics and preferred communication styles that tend to remain consistent.

Benefit to You: By blending both tools, you get the best of both worlds! Imagine offering your clients a multi-dimensional insight into themselves and their teams. It's like moving from a flat image to a vibrant 3D model—capturing both the stable essence and the shifting energies that propel us forward.


From Understanding to Action: Making Insights Work for You

Understanding yourself is powerful, but taking action on that understanding is transformational!


Motivational Maps provide actionable insights, giving you clear pathways to enhance motivation and engagement.


Personality profiles offer descriptive labels that build self-awareness of natural tendencies and communication styles—crucial for nurturing relationships.


Benefit to You: When you combine these insights, you empower your clients to not just understand themselves and others but to make meaningful changes. It's like having a map and a compass—you know where you are and how to get where you want to be!


Aligning Personal Drive with Team Success

Ever wondered how to get everyone on the same page, moving toward a common goal?

Motivational Maps align individual motivators with team and organizational objectives, creating a harmonious and cohesive working environment.


Personality profiles help appreciate the diverse personalities within a team, fostering empathy and better collaboration.


Benefit to You: By leveraging both tools, you can craft powerful team-building experiences that respect individual differences while uniting everyone under shared goals. Think of it as orchestrating a symphony where every instrument plays in harmony!


Empowering Change through Self-Awareness

Change isn't just possible—it's inevitable, and it starts with self-awareness.

Motivational Maps encourage individuals to understand and influence their own motivation, fueling both personal and professional growth.


Personality profiles lay the foundation by highlighting innate preferences and tendencies.

Benefit to You: Clients become the captains of their own ships, charting courses with confidence. With heightened self-awareness and motivational insights, they're ready to tackle challenges head-on and seize new opportunities!


In Conclusion

By integrating these complementary tools, you're not just offering assessments—you're providing a transformative experience. It's about painting a complete picture that supports sustained performance, boosts communication, and elevates engagement to new heights.
