It is difficult to pinpoint the specific behaviours and personalities of other people at a glance, not to mention their blind spots. Often, we end up deciding a person’s behaviours by the impressions we get.
This is not good, as we have little to no understanding of the person’s personality.
This is why psychometric tools were introduced.
In today’s society, psychometric tools are increasingly being used for personal development. You might be wondering “What is a psychometric tool, and how does it relate to the problem of blind spots?”
The answer is simple. Scientific tools used to measure mental capacity and behaviour type are known as psychometric tools.
The problem we face as learners seeking self-improvement is that most of the psychometric instruments
do not accurately predict your personality and describe your behaviour. This is why the IDENTI3® was created.
Unlike other tools, IDENTI3® reveals your blind spots that occur due to your personality and your lack of self-awareness.
It reveals behaviours that may be missed by other tests.
“Let me use an experience I had in 2005 as an example. I had just conducted a preview of IDENTI3® for an institute in Singapore. The preview was for an evaluation committee looking to do more for student development. The committee members had completed the tests, and the results of the interpretation were out. I was approached by a senior teacher, let’s call him Mr Lim, who in an annoyed tone said, “I don’t entirely agree with your interpretation.” You say that my weakness is I’m less vocal and have difficulty expressing myself. However, what you said about me is not true at all. I always offer second chances to people. It’s only when they don’t comply with my instructions that I send them a lawyer’s letter!” IDENTI3® reveals behaviours that may be missed by other tests.”
Before he could finish his statement, his colleague shouted. “We only saw the lawyer’s letter.” Everyone agreed. Mr Lim was so surprised by this that he had to sit down immediately to compose himself. It turns out that even though he was a teacher, he was low in Exposition. He had always thought that he was very good at communicating his ideas and blamed other people for not understanding or listening to him. He had just discovered his blind spot, which every one of his colleagues knew. This institute signed up to use IDENTI3® shortly afterwards.”
