It always makes me laugh when employers ask, “Why would personality testing help me deal with employees?” It’s also amazing that most managers pay little attention to potential new hires testing results.
In this article I explain how to deal with employees, by analyzing what their Personality Tests tell you. If you need a test, check out the one I provide at The Perfect Personality Test
The most popular request, has been for a Personality Test that is easy to understand and usable. I have provided a few simple tests in the past, but in this article I’ll go over a test that is actually very useful.
I have combined the Myers-Briggs, Kiersey and numerous other tests into one. I then got rid of all the jargon and explain in detailed reports:
In previous articles involving Indirect Hypnosis, I’ve talked about the following:
Now I’m going to begin a journey in which I will focus on a pure form of Indirect Hypnosis. Indirect Hypnosis, being hypnosis techniques used to subtly communicate with another person’s subconscious mind without them noticing.

Here is the final Indirect Hypnosis article pertaining to Meta-Programming. If you perform this test on yourself you will learn a great deal about how your own mind works. Better yet, if you perform this test on others it will immediately eliminate any communication issues you may have. I hope you enjoyed this series and an online test is in the works right now. On to the final Meta-Programming questions.
What we Value, How we See Ourselves and The World
Value Style ( Survival / Security / Affection / Belonging / Self-Esteem / Achievement )
I value personal achievement above all else, followed closely by survival. Obviously everyone will value security and survival otherwise you wouldn’t exist or you would have an insufferable life. Saying that I still value Achievement because I’m of the belief that a life simply lived isn’t worth much. Just a personal opinion, not a judgement. Remember I’m forcing myself to be completely honest on this test.
All the other values are self explanatory. These are the values that drive a person through life. Some people wake up and think, “Today I’m going to do whatever I need to, to find someone to give me affection!” Others change their presentation so that they can feel a stronger sense of Self-Esteem or Belonging.
To find this style ask, “What do you value most in life”, “Name the most significant moment in your life.” Continue reading Indirect Hypnosis NLP Meta Programs Pt 4
How we Decide, How to Respond through Communication and Work with Others
This article will continue to provide you with high level communication tools. These skills could be used with great effect in managing, marketing, or in your personal life. Well on to the exercises.
Recharging Style (Extrovert, Introvert, Balanced)

I’m naturally an introvert, but I’m so uncomfortable in situations in which people are not talking, I start conversations immediately upon entering a room. Everyone thinks I’m an Extrovert and I do get very charged up in social situations, but I’m also happy when they are over.
There is a big misconception that an Introvert is antisocial. No, they just don’t get energized or relax around other people. They feel taxed. Just because you enjoy and get your best work done while alone is not a negative.
Extroverts have tons of friends and look for the outside word to energize and entertain them. These are the shoot from the hip types. It is to be noted that while they have many friends, they normally have less deep relationships than an Introvert.
To find out who your dealing with ask, “When you need to calm down after a long day do you prefer to take some time alone, or go out with friends?” Continue reading Indirect Hypnosis: NLP Meta-Programs Pt 3
In this article, I’ll continue explaining how our brains work. I will use my own personal results as an example. If you ask people the questions I present here you will learn how a person:
I’ve received some comments asking why you would want to know this information? This is what we refer to as high order rapport building. I wrote an article on Rapport Building and Subliminal Marketing that explains what Rapport is. To get right to it, Rapport Building is the act of getting someone to trust and like you.
People are inclined to like people that they feel are like themselves. So, if you know exactly how their brain works you will easily be able to present ideas to them that will be instantly understandable, while making them more agreeable. Hence the term Indirect Hypnosis. Continue reading Indirect Hypnosis: Meta-Programs Pt 2
