Personality Assessments

The Shape of You

Personality is the most stable layer of who you are: your default settings for energy, attention, decision-making, and motivation. SPARKS uses four complementary personality instruments because each one answers a different question.

Big Five is the psychometric backbone of this facet. The other three add motivation, meaning, and a shorthand many people already carry.

TraitTrait-based tools measure how strongly each tendency runs.
MotivationMotivation-based tools explain why you do what you do.
ValuesValues-based tools show you what you are ultimately steering toward.
TypeType-based tools describe how you prefer to operate.

  1. Big Five Traits (OCEAN)

    Trait
    Backbone

    Quantifies how strongly specific tendencies and behavioral patterns run in your baseline settings.

  2. The Enneagram

    Motivation

    Uncovers why you act by revealing the subconscious drives, fears, and core motivations behind your habits.

  3. Values and Beliefs

    Values

    Identifies what you care about most and where you are ultimately steering your life.

  4. 16-Type Preferences (MBTI-style)

    Type
    Familiarity

    The four letters a lot of people already know. Included because recognition is the fastest way into a profile, not because it carries the measurement weight; Big Five does that.

    Where the two disagree, Big Five is the reading we act on. How SPARKS uses this one

Together, this multi-layered approach to profile building turns self-awareness into an actionable blueprint, helping you leverage default strengths, catch automatic stress responses, improve relationships, and align daily choices with your true direction.
