The problem with most personality tests is they are designed for psychologists, NOT team members!

Many people find DISC and Myers Briggs to be hard to understand and remember. Within a few days, the complex acronyms and 16 profiles are often largely forgotten. Therefore, other personality tests can have limited long-term effect on team behaviour or understanding.

Tick’s profiling tools are the SIMPLER and MORE EFFECTIVE alternative to DISC and MYERS BRIGGS.

QUICKLY and EASILY understand what makes your team ‘TICK’ with our personality profiling tools.

Here’s why Tick is better:

  1. Tick personality profiles are based on a combination of four birds (eagle, peacock, owl, dove)
  2. The bird profiles offer instant understanding and don’t require very much explanation
  3. Team members will easily remember the bird profiles of their entire team
  4. The insights are so clear and intuitive that the team’s behaviour changes almost automatically

Tick Bird Profiles

The Bird Profiles are based on 4 different personality types

Eagle

Motivated by Authority and Power

Wants to have the control and the freedom to get results. Wants to be the boss.

Peacock

Owl

Motivated by the Security of facts and systems

Wants to work and live within structures and laid down procedures. Wants to be right.

Dove

Motivated by the Security of Belonging

Wants to be supportive and appreciated as an important member of the team.  Wants friendship, approval and to be loved.

Andrew is an exceptionally engaging and energetic presenter. He facilitates discussion amongst participants in a way that allows them to discover their own understanding of personality profiles in a context pertinent to them. Through the use of personal and professional stories, he is able to assist participants to gain a practical understanding of the Tick and Birds concepts that is meaningful and lasting. The Tick approach to profiling is a lovely way to provide people with an understanding of how and why we and others behave. It offers an insight into common behaviours and participants leave with an understanding of themselves and others and practical strategies they can use to engage with others.
