In this guest blog I am sharing the wisdom of Brad Whitehorn, Associate Director at CLSR Inc. I hope you find this blog helpful.
Canadaš is known for many things, its breathtaking landscapes, its people, and its ability to turn even the most mundane apology into an art form. One of Canadaās greatest strengths is something that you donāt hear talked about often, because itās something we just do; our approach to understanding people. Itās this approach that helped shape Personality DimensionsĀ® into what it is. Itās more than just a personality assessment, it reflects the very essence of what makes Canada, Canada.
At its core, Personality DimensionsĀ® was developed with a distinctly Canadian perspective. The researchers, writers, and experts behind it all called Canada home, and that influence can be found in every aspect of it. Ā But what does that really mean? How does a Canadian personality assessment stand out in a world full of different frameworks and models? It comes down to the values that Canadians hold close; values that make Personality DimensionsĀ® not just relevant within Canadaās borders but also for people around the world.
One of Canadaās defining features is its multiculturalism. Itās not just a policy; itās a lived reality. Walk down any street most Canadian cities, and youāll hear different languages, see diverse cultural influences, and meet people with backgrounds across the globe. Personality DimensionsĀ® was developed with this reality in mind, making it accessible and meaningful to people from different cultural perspectives. It doesnāt put people into little personality boxes, instead offers up a flexible framework that respects and embraces individual differences.
Many personality assessments come from a more singular cultural viewpoint, where some traits may be unintentionally emphasized over others. But Personality DimensionsĀ® recognizes that different cultures bring different strengths to the table. The fact that it was developed in an environment where diversity is the norm, naturally accounts for a wide range of ways people express themselves, interact, and approach lifeās challenges. It makes sense why Personality DimensionsĀ® is so well liked and embraced by people around the world.
If thereās one thing Canadians pride themselves on, itās a commitment to inclusion. The idea that everyone should have a place at the table is built into everything from our social policies to our day-to-day interactions. Of course, this is a big part of Personality DimensionsĀ®; it always emphasizes that no one personality is seen as better or worse than another. It doesnāt matter if youāre anĀ Inquiring Green,Ā Organized Gold,Ā Resourceful Orange, orĀ Authentic Blue, thereās no ideal way to be, just different ways of seeing the world and navigating it.
Think of how this plays out in in career development, team building, education, and other areas, where understanding different personality styles can build stronger connections and more effective communication. By embracing an inclusive approach, Personality DimensionsĀ® helps people appreciate their own strengths while also understanding and valuing the strengths of others in a way that respects and celebrates differences.
Canadians are known for being practical and level-headed, and that practicality was bult into Personality DimensionsĀ® from day one. Rather than being an abstract theory, it was designed to be used in real-life settings, with real-life people. Whether youāre making career decisions, improving workplace communication, or developing leadership skills, the insights from Personality DimensionsĀ® are meant to be applied in a meaningful and useful way.
A personality assessment needs to be more than just an interesting exercise, it should provide people with tools they can actually use. Thatās why Personality Dimensions is built to be accessible, easy to understand, easy to remember, and immediately relevant. You donāt need a psychology degree to make sense of it, and you wonāt be left wondering how it applies to your life.
While Personality Dimensions is undeniably Canadian, its strength is in its ability to relate to people everywhere, across different industries, cultures, and countries. But more importantly, it reflects the best of what Canada has to offer: a perspective that values diversity, respects individuality, and provides practical tools to help people thrive wherever they call home.
