Traditional methods of community formation, matching and excellence often leave room for mismatch and discord. This assessment leverages the principles of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) mental patterns / metaprogrammes to optimize community excellence. By profiling individually we aim to forge more harmonious, efficient, and mutually beneficial relationships within communities.
This report encompasses a broad spectrum of mental patterns derived from both the qualitative and quantitative measurement of individual behaviors and inclinations. The mental patterns studied here range from decision-making styles and motivational patterns to communication tendencies , interests and attitudinal factors and inclinations.
The assessment algorithms underpinning this report are rooted in scientifically validated concepts from multiple disciplines. These include psychology (Jung, Csikszentmihalyi, Erikson, Graves, Pearls, Talcott Parsons), epistemology (Korzybski, Grinder), linguistics (Chomsky, Lakoff), sociology (Satir, Weber, Pareto, Tönnies), anthropology (Bateson), cybernetics (Wiener, Odobleja).
Mental patterns function as the unconscious filters through which we perceive, project internally and interact with the world. In a community setting, understanding these underlying structures is pivotal for reducing conflict, fostering collaboration, and increasing overall well-being and excellence.
MindSteep assessments have been tested and utilized by over 150,000 individuals across 12 countries, boasting an α (Cronbach’s Alpha) of 0.84 and a Content Validity Ratio (CVR) of 0.91.
For a more nuanced understanding, mental patterns are analyzed in pairs of opposites. This methodology allows us to capture the complete behavioral and cognitive spectrum, ranging from one end of the mental pattern to the opposite end.
In our assessments, we employ a unique method of hierarchy differentiation that includes fixed constant intervals between the various values of a mental pattern. This approach lends more granularity to our analysis, making it more sensitive to slight but significant differences between individuals.
Once the individual's mental pattern values are obtained, they are compared to a statistical distribution model specific to a particular country. This step is crucial for understanding the relative standing of the individual within their cultural context, which in turn is invaluable for community matching and excellence.
Intensity or Weakness of the Filter: The mental patterns act as mental filters, affecting how we perceive, process, and interact with our surroundings. The intensity or weakness of these filters is gauged by comparing the individual values to the country-specific model.
Scientific Literature: The descriptive and explanatory texts in this report are grounded in the scientific literature of several key authors, spanning fields as diverse as psychology, epistemology, and sociology, among others. This comprehensive scholarly backing lends further credence to our interpretations.
In this section, the assessment delves into the individual mental patterns of the participant. The report presents the results in terms of how strongly or weakly each metaprogramme filter is applied in the participant’s behavior and decision-making. These results are benchmarked against a country-specific model to provide a more contextual understanding of each filter’s intensity.
From a neurological point of view, the towards metaprogram is thought to be related to the way that the brain processes information about the future. The brain is constantly making predictions about the future, and the towards metaprogram helps to prioritize information that is relevant to those predictions.
From a cognitive point of view, the towards metaprogram is thought to be related to the way that people think about the future. People who are towards oriented are more likely to think about the future in positive terms and to focus on what they want to achieve. They are also more likely to be optimistic and to believe that they can achieve their goals.
From an epistemological point of view, the towards metaprogram is thought to be related to the way that people know and understand the future. People who are towards oriented are more likely to believe that the future is something that they can control and that they can make a difference in. They are also more likely to be open to new possibilities and to be willing to take risks in order to achieve their goals.
In business and work, the towards metaprogram can be used to:
Set goals: People who are towards oriented are more likely to set goals and to be motivated to achieve them. They can be valuable assets to businesses that need people who are driven and goal-oriented.
Be innovative: People who are towards oriented are more likely to be innovative and to come up with new ideas. They can be valuable assets to businesses that need people who are creative and who are willing to think outside the box.
Motivate others: People who are towards oriented can be effective motivators. They can inspire others to set goals and to achieve them.
In community and society, the towards metaprogram can be used to:
Promote positive change: People who are towards oriented can be effective change agents. They can be motivated to make a difference in the world and to create a better future for themselves and for others.
Build a better world: People who are towards oriented can be valuable assets to communities and societies. They can help to build a better world by working to solve problems and by making positive changes.
The towards metaprogram is a powerful tool for people who want to achieve their goals and make a difference in the world. By understanding their own towards metaprogram and the towards metaprograms of others, people can use this tool to improve their communication, influence, and decision-making skills.
From a neurological perspective, the Away From metaprogram is associated with the amygdala, a part of the brain that is responsible for processing fear and anxiety. When people with an Away From metaprogram encounter something that they perceive as negative, the amygdala sends a signal to the rest of the brain, which triggers a fight-or-flight response. This response can lead to a variety of behaviors, such as avoiding the negative experience, trying to change it, or denying its existence.
From a cognitive perspective, the Away From metaprogram is associated with negative thinking patterns. People with an Away From metaprogram are more likely to focus on the potential problems and risks associated with a situation, rather than the potential opportunities. They may also engage in catastrophizing, or imagining the worst possible outcome. This can lead to anxiety, stress, and decision-making paralysis.
From an epistemological perspective, the Away From metaprogram is associated with a belief that the world is a dangerous place. People with an Away From metaprogram may believe that they need to be constantly vigilant in order to avoid danger. They may also believe that the future is uncertain and unpredictable, and that they need to be prepared for the worst. This belief system can lead to a cautious and risk-averse approach to life.
The Away From metaprogram can be used in a variety of ways in business and work. For example, people with an Away From metaprogram may be more likely to be successful in risk management or quality control roles. They may also be more likely to be successful in sales roles, where they are able to identify and avoid objections.
In community and society, people with an Away From metaprogram may be more likely to be involved in safety advocacy or risk management organizations. They may also be more likely to be involved in political activism, where they are working to create a safer and more just world.
However, it is important to note that the Away From metaprogram can also have some negative consequences. For example, people with an Away From metaprogram may be more likely to experience anxiety, stress, and decision-making paralysis. They may also be more likely to miss out on opportunities because they are too focused on avoiding risks.
If you have an Away From metaprogram, it is important to be aware of its potential negative consequences. You can also work to develop a more balanced approach to life, by focusing on both the positive and negative aspects of each situation.
