Self-complete personality profiles like MBTI, Hogan, DISC, Insights, Enneagram, etc. are powerful tools but they are all self-complete….External self-awareness is not easily accessible to most people. In our quest to introduce many people to the power of external self-awareness, MeQ was designed to be quick, intuitive and non-threatening. These characteristics don’t stop it from being a powerful additional lens to senior leaders that may already have done self-complete personality profiles like MBTI, Hogan, DISC, Insights, etc.
MeQ was designed for the large majority of people. MeQ might be disappointing for those rare lifelong self-awareness seekers but it has received very positive reviews from many people including highly driven ‘Type A’ personalities.
The work done by Dr. Tasha Eurich and her team over the last few years has advanced the field of self-awareness significantly. Her HBR article sums it up well. One of the great contributions has been a definition of self-awareness that includes external self-awareness – a piece often ignored or forgotten in research.
