How does it work?

How does a functional behavior assessment strengthen personal awareness and boost productivity and collaboration in the workplace?

There are two components that make up the MyHardWired profiling system:

Modes

  • Your personal report will identify your preferences amongst three dimensions of human behavior
  • Preferred, Expectation, and Instinctive Modes

Traits

  • Represented by 4 colors: red, yellow, green, blue
  • Each color signifies different behaviors and specific points of view

The three modes

PREFERENCES

The Preferred Mode uncovers the activities you enjoy most, your ideal management style, and your ideal work environment. By aligning with your natural preferences, this mode helps you unlock your best work, maximize your productivity, and find fulfillment in what you do. Your Preferred Style chart identifies what jobs and activities you find most rewarding and challenging, strengthening personal awareness.

EXPECTATIONS

The Expectations Mode highlights how you naturally approach and interact with others—and how you prefer to be approached in return. It also uncovers your management style and how you like to be managed, offering a clear roadmap for building stronger, more effective connections and fostering collaboration in any environment.

INSTINCTS

The Instinctive Mode shines a light on your instinctive fears, empowers your strengths, and reveals how you perceive the world. Understanding this dimension deepens your personal awareness and helps you identify what you need to feel secure and empowered. The dominant traits of your Instinctive Needs graph illustrate your learning style, what you trust, and how you will react under pressure.

Traits are represented by four colors

Red

- Action oriented
- Goal driven
- Loves independence
- Takes charge

Green

- Organized
