Which thinking style am I?
Personality describes you. Thinking styles can grow with you.
Many tools tell you what kind of person you are. The Meta Dynamics™ Profiling Tool looks at something different: the patterns in how you think. And unlike personality, thinking styles can be developed over time, which means your results are a map for growth, never a box to live in.
Discover your thinking style
Gain a clearer picture of why you do what you do, and how your way of thinking shapes the results you are getting at home and at work.
See your strengths and stretches
Notice what comes naturally to you, and the areas that are ready to grow, so you can lean on your strengths instead of running on empty.
Make more conscious choices
When you understand your own patterns, you can choose how you respond, rather than running on autopilot.

What the profile looks at
Four archetypes,
16 dimensions of thinking
The profile explores 16 dimensions of thinking, grouped into the four areas of the E.S.I.P. Critical Alignment Model (CAM): Environment, Structure, Implementation and People. Each area is linked to an archetype: the Visionary, the Architect, the Dynamo and the Collaborator.
We all use all four thinking styles. Most of us simply lean towards one or two more naturally, and every one of them is something you can develop.
E · Environment
Visionary
Creates an environment that inspires and motivates themselves and others, and finds a way through personal obstacles.
Holding a vision, keeping standards steady, pushing through obstacles and knowing your own strengths, so the people around you can thrive too.
S · Structure
Architect
Brings strategy, planning and design to help achieve results, and has a gift for anticipating and solving challenges.
Seeing ahead, finding fresh solutions to old problems, planning for what might go wrong and making sound, timely decisions.
P · People
Collaborator
Builds relationships and helps the people around them grow into their potential.
Guiding and encouraging others, building genuine connection, reading the room and understanding how other people think and feel.
​
You simply read a series of everyday statements, such as "I influence people's opinion", and choose how much you agree or disagree with each one. There are no right or wrong answers.
The Meta Dynamics™ Profiling Tool and its archetype descriptions are used with thanks to the International Coaching Institute (ICI).

Who is this for?
For the capable parent who is ready to understand themselves
You are the one everyone relies on. You are good at what you do, you care deeply about your family, and yet some days you wonder why the same patterns keep showing up. If you are curious about yourself and ready to grow, at your own pace, this profile is a gentle place to start.
​
​It is especially helpful if you are standing at a crossroads in your career, feeling stretched between work and home, or simply wanting to lead your own life with more clarity and calm.
