Personality Dimensions Certification Program

Curious about understanding what motivates behaviour in yourself and others?

 Interested in becoming more aware of your own strengths and values, and exploring the different personalities and temperaments?

 Would you like to acquire tools and techniques for engaging different personality types in the creative problem-solving process?

Researched and developed in Canada since 2003, Personality Dimensions® represents the next level of development in implementing temperament personality theory and is based on the work of Linda Berens, David Keirsey and Don Lowry.  This new, dynamic tool is a culmination of the research and validation work and development that has been done in Canada to support the use of temperament theory.  Based on leading-edge research into human motivation and behaviour, this communication tool explains what motivates positive behaviour in different personalities/temperaments.  This new, interactive human relations and communications model/process enhances the basic values of self-esteem, dignity and self-worth.

In the working world, Personality Dimensions® can be applied and integrated a number of ways.  Where effective training and development is essential for meeting strategic objectives – an understanding of personality or temperament theory is a very effective tool in facilitating team creation and building; in corporate communications; and in enhancing customer service and satisfaction, providing innovative solutions to problems by tapping into the creative energy of every temperament type, to enable them to quickly adapt to rapidly changing conditions.  Personality Dimensions® promotes the acquisition of tools and techniques for engaging different personality types in the creative problem solving process.
