The Golden Personality Type Profiler can help a person understand the basis for their decision-making and the way they relate to other people. Other assessments use type-oriented approaches that are too simplistic and make no allowance for the subtle differences between people of the same type. With Golden, not only can you see Jungian 4-letter personality type, but also the subtle facets, that make up that personality type.

Use Golden to:

  • Help guide employees toward better understanding of their own behaviors, attitudes, career goals, and preferences
  • Build a solid foundation for team development dialogue
  • Understand an individual’s work style relative to others
  • Applications Include: Leadership Development, Coaching, Communication and Conflict Management, Teambuilding, Sales Force Training, and More

Features & Benefits

The Golden Personality Type Profiler differs from other personality assessment instruments.

Using Jung's Type Theory as a foundation, the Golden Personality Type Profiler unites Psychological Type, Temperament, Trait, and the empirically supported factor models of personality and generates one comprehensive survey and feedback report. This online profile asks individuals to respond to 125 behavior oriented questions, such as how one reacts to various situations. The online survey is very user-friendly and can be completed in about 25 minutes.

Facet Scales Identify a Person's Individuality

Easy-to-complete profile uses Global Scales to generate a personality "type," while employing Facet Scales to demonstrate a person’s individuality.

The Facet Scales in the Golden Personality Type Profiler provides an in-depth personality profile that is comprehensive, accurate, and unique to the individual.

In addition to assessing traditional personality "types," a number of identified personality traits are also examined. Personality traits are combined together in the Global Scales to form observed constellations of personality types. These paired traits are called Facet Scales. Each Facet Scale is composed of two traits (i.e., Talkative—Quiet.) Four Facet Scales are grouped together and form a Global Scale (i.e.; Extraversion-Introversion)
